Anyone had stuff shipped from USA?

[yorkie_chris]

Got a package on the way from USA, sent by "USPS priority mail international parcels".

Site says it is supposed to take 6-10 days. But it's not here, and I've heard nowt from anybody demanding money from customs.


Here is track from USPS website

International Dispatch, November 08, 2009, 8:16 pm, ISC LOS ANGELES CA (USPS) Arrival Acceptance, November 05, 2009, 3:58 pm, RENO, NV 89510

So .org experts, where's my parcel?

Can I track through UK customs or something?

Huh? trace after that is in LA, after that it says it is outside USA.

It's probably stuck in customs, which in my experience could take up to a couple of weeks, which could mean that you're in for a hefty customs charge.

The hold-up is almost certain to be Customs. We had to pay tax and a charge from the UK carrier this end for our rearsets. Not very much, a total of less than £20 quid.

Took almost three weeks for my sheepskin to get here from Alaska


But you may well not get hammered with customs, depends on the item

Thats all its tracked to on there site, once its left USA its not tracked on there site. Use parcel force.

there

http://www.parcelforce.com/portal/pw...mber=1&start=1

It will update, check every few days.

Parcelforce normally get things from the US. Use their website and put your tracking number into it and they will give you a UK tracking number.

If there are charges on it, you should get a letter telling you to pay £... before they release the parcel, but this doesn't always hapen.

get your tracking number and ring your local depot.

EDIT: See above post.
