[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 977231, member: 325666"] Might get my multi bias tee ordered from the USA later today ...but had to do some chasing .. This has happened to me and others before ... Parcels ordered from the USA make it over here to the UK ..without issue ..then vanish into the black hole that is the unbundled UK postal service .. My parcel changed hands once in the UK about 4 times to various couriers ...the last 2 being 13ten and finally Yodel ... Alarm bells already ringing ...I managed to contact the Yodel office in Middlesborough ...about mid day ...but not before going through the automated service ...which asked for a tracking number .. I had at least 3 written down ...not one of which was recognised by the system ...so waited till a human being responded .. She searched for all 3 ..and drew a blank.. Finally finding it by name address and postcode.. Apparentlythe wrong label has been attached to the parcel .. BUT ...there was an attempt at delivery at 11:30 this morning but my shop was shut .. The large notice on the door explaining that parcels can be delivered and signed for at my home address 3 doors away ...was ignored if read at all ... The phone number over the shop was never rung ..but had they done so ..my dad would have opened the door ... No calling card left... Anyway ...to shorten this logistics story ... Head office of Yodel gave me the correct delivery code ..and the phone number of the courier which I rang ...since they were still in the area ...and I was promised a return visit later today .. So might actually get my parcel. IF I had not gone in pursuit ...Either it would have been returned to the USA ...or vanished forever as has happened previously.. I let you know when I get it ...fingers crossed.. ;) [/QUOTE]
