HaydnH Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm expecting a delivery from the states and the current tracking says USPS have been notified to expect a parcel but not yet received it, does this mean the poster hasn't provided them with the parcel yet (after 3 days) or is it likely to just be a USPS thing where the tracking hasn't been updated? Anyone have any exprience with them? http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSIntern ... 56652479US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 its the weekend i doubt its been processed yet, they probably have it, or its waiting to go through customs. i found the USPS site to be very slow to update if at all when shipping to the UK, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmck13 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Bought a couple of Stillen products from California last year, they use USPS. The tracking doesn't seem to work at this end but the goods did arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 USPS suck Even worseis that when it arrives in this country it gets taken on by Parcelforce They rarely update the tracking info, I've had items delivered to me & the tracking just shows pick up initiated. The message that you recieve just means that the postage has been purcahse, it doesn't actually mean they have posted it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 As above, forget about the USPS tracking system as the goods will probably arrive before there site is updated. Best to check it on the Parcel Force web site which will also tell you if there is duty to be paid, which will have to be paid to Parcel Force before they deliver. Hope this helps: Alex.

Thanks everyone, Alex, any idea where I can get a parcelforce tracking number from? BTW, someone should stock Zee brackets or similar in the UK.

Peter10 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Generally in my experience with the USPS the processing phase lasts far longer than the rest of the process. Once it gets shipped it usually arrives at my door within a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't pay for delivery in this country. But you will be potentially liable for VAT (20%) and import duty (10% IIRC) on the total you paid for the item including postage. You might be lucky though and not get charged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
