Couriers Warning!

[Luigi]

While I understand why UK left EU (paying billions every year, money goes to countries who give a sh*t about human rights/democracy/freedom of speech&press, getting told what to do and what not, etc.), this sh*t is what every country and merchant outside EU has to deal with. They simply 'forgot' to tell you what will come with Brexit.....assuming they knew what would come.

This 'unforseeable' hassle - plus so many people buying stuff on the internet during Corona - is simply too much at the moment, it will take some time but it will get better.

Well some updates. My DHL Parcel that left Virginia on Tuesday came today, a Day early!. Can never fault DHL!!

As for the Parcel that was sent to Spain, after contacting DPD again, I finally got a SEUR Email so the Buyer can finally pay the 12 Euros in due Tax! Not bad since the item was £250 with Postage! I only declared it as £40 Gift

Parcel that was sent to Germany 5 weeks ago finally came back to me today! When I spoke to DPD they said it had been sent back to the sender on the 12th of Jan and gave me tracking details which showed delivered! So I contacted Parcel2go again and they said they have asked DPD to send it to me! So I have a feeling Parcel2Go have had this sent back to their Wharehouse and it's been f@cking sitting there for a Month with Parcel2go

Strange how I contacted P2GO and magically it was delivered to me 2 Days later!!

Somebody mentioned Royal

goodbye to it for a Month!! Over Christmas Romford recieved some Gifts for Christmas, sat with those f@ckers foir 2 weeks, then finally made the 10 Miles to the loacal Grays Depot and sat there for another Week!!

Here is just another Amazon order and again still at Romford for nearly 3 weeks now., What really F@cks me off is there is no option just to go and get your sh1t from these Muppets! Says in Transit, to F'ing where? round and round the Depot FFS

To be fair Terry the Grays depot was completely shut as they had a massive outbreak of covid, one poor soul died. It's in a bit of a state still.

The post is all over the place, like they are just scooping up whatever is in front of them and delivering that

Didn't know that! I knew a Postman had passed away but didn't know about the sorting Office! My Postman has been round nearly every day now! Last week I got a load of deliveries 8AM on a Sunday morning by a Contractor!

I think they are trying to shift the backlog but it's all a bit random

I had a special delivery package go to romford mc by mistake(the tracking actually said arrived at wrong depot!),it took 5 days to get to me,which for special delivery is a fail of course so the guy sending it to me was able to claim his money back,and he even gave me a tenner refund for the delay

Was it not Special delivery, it would have been stuck there for a week!!

Well looks like I can kiss goodbye to that £450 Dive Computer I sent to Italy, Not tracked since going back to Stanford No Hope

. Thanks UPS!

 

[muddymusic]

You'll probably end up with it back soon. I've had stuff coming back daily, even USA and Ireland stuff is being returned with 'BREXIT' code on the return label.

 

[gunblade]

so it looks like parcels are taking about 2 weeks to clear customs, i expect business to business is being done quicker though

I've just had major drama getting a Lethal enforcers 2 PCB from Italy.

The tracking showed it was in a mysterious Uk depo for 'Poste Italiane' that doesnt have any form of contact info. Spendf about 2 days trying to contact Italy via any means possible. Thought the parcel would get kicked back/destroyed but after a week of limbo it was passed to parcel force.

Cost me bloody £42 fee for a £120 item though

I've got a big box of stuff shipping from Japan that's already nearly a month after I'd usually expect it. Surface shipping usually takes two months almost to the day. The 25th will be the third month since it was dispatched. The worst part about surface mail is that there is no way of telling where exactly it is until it comes off the boat and is scanned. I'm half expecting it to end up back with the dispatcher in Japan.

Shipped a Taito wheel from Germany to UK, took 7 days and everything went smooth.....so there's still hope

Send an Outrun Kickboard to France 3 months ago via Parcel2go with DPD, Still not arrived, Parcel2go opened a claim and now they have closed it saying i didnt give them more information yet it clearly states its Parcel2go requesting info from the courier.

cant reopen the claim as they have closed the case and there is no phone number to contact and they are not answering my emails.

I wont be sending to Europe Again

Not acceptable

Some parts I ordered from Greece have decided to go via Canada! The Greek post office confused "Halifax West Yorkshire, UK" with "Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada".... :-(
I suppose I might get them eventually and the tracking keeps updating, so at least I know they aren't totally lost.

 

[phillv85]

Had a few games from Strictly Limited games in Germany last week, only took a couple of days to arrive from dispatch. Looks like German post isn't struggling at least. France on the other hand, I think I could have walked to pick it up faster.
