Stufuse 73 Posted April 26, 2020 Puzzled ..... can anyone shed any light on why my parcels have made it from the USA to London, Heathrow, Distribution Centre and seem to have been there for 3 weeks according to USPS tracking , ........ and are now according to USPS tracking they are back in Chicago , USA? I am Puzzled??I have the same thing the other way around, left Heathrow 27 days ago to US and not been scanned since. After a little google searching I’ve seen people on eBay forum saying last week that incoming mail arriving at Langley had sat for up to a month before being delivered. covid19 backlog maybe. Hope that helps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ssouthall6 4 Posted April 26, 2020 I had a spare part turn up from Sead on Friday, that was just over 4 weeks.Still waiting for a watch from Marv from a few days before that and some official time end links still in HK from before that. Not much tracking info on any of them. Think I bought some stuff m2m that hasn't turned up too. Not that I'm bothered, I only ever wear two watches anyway I ordered a pc component from the Netherlands, it took 3 days, but my domestic orders are taking forever.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadApple 13,081 Posted April 27, 2020 My 14th March EPacket Gate has hit UK this morning. . - 6th January one now says Expired. Another Gate EPacket Returned to Sender - another Gate sent Singapore Post not moved / collected yet - still at Advised stage 4PX Ali's seem to have slowed down when it says Left Destination Country - I actually think they don't leave physically and it just means waiting for plane doors to open. Tracking issued on my Mary orders - this the most important to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the one that has arrived this morning to UK but the original shipping was still live yesterday. I will open the box and find a fossilised turd. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might want to do an unboxing vid for evidence when you have to later dispute that the toe nail clippings and rubber dog crap in the box are not what you ordered.

Stufuse 73 Posted April 29, 2020 I’ve got packages with RM same as yours from China, yours at least says it exists. Mine seem to be taking 7+ days (after tracking number is initially created )to say they they even exist, then another 7+ to go live here in UK.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk What happens is the seller engages a shipping agent. The tracking doesn't start until shipping agent has collected and scanned it. The shipping agents can take ages to do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stufuse 73 Posted April 29, 2020 Oh yea, i know that. I have things delivered this way regularly. usually they say they exist within a couple days if not the day I get the tracking usually. As things are slower in China I was just commenting on the current time frames for the other guy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BravoDelta 22,461 Posted April 29, 2020 I'm experiencing worse service from the USPS than China! My last two shipments cleared customs over 7 days ago with zero tracking updates. The expected delivery dates in tracking were just replaced with "processed through facility". Probably a lot of government employees calling out sick.

G_sus 549 Posted April 29, 2020 I noticed only yesterday that a number of items on my DH/Ali watch list that were free postage, are now like $6 or so - And on smaller items like straps/bands etc all starts to add up! Does this mean they are not sending via the normal tried and tested methods? (Slow and steady) Also noticed that on some items they still have free postage, just put the price of the item up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,503 Posted April 29, 2020 Lol, I've got a pair of single cut oxford shoes that has been shipped at the end of february. It was in "left by air" for 2 months, then suddenly "returned to sender" and 2 days later "sent to exchange center for shipping"... It's a mess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abe Fromen 1,620 Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) some progress (?!?!?!) Canada Post says it was mailed on March 16 and left Guangzhou on March 18... and that's what it still says. However, 17Track says that in English but a bunch of stuff in Mandarin under it. So copy and paste into google translator. Turns out it sat in the Guangzhou for six weeks and now says it's been cleared by customs today. Edited April 30, 2020 by Abe Fromen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
