bu. Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I bought something online and have been tracking it since. It went to Annapolis (in Washington?). From there it went north to Linthicum Heights near Washington airport. From there it's gone west to Chicago ? Why wouldn't it go straight from Washington to the UK? Does all airmail come from Chicago? Chicago better be the last US stop before it comes to the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyna ♔ Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm about as confused as you are Be happy you get tracking at all, though. I bought something from China a few weeks ago, that still isn't here (though it's within the time frame), and haven't been able to track it this whole time. USPS can be slow, but it does get your stuff to where it needs to be on time and in good condition. Appreciate your luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I had to pay an extra $21 because the sender undercharged me . Ugh I've had parcels from China before and they never provided tracking either - and their time frame was out by 2 months . I hope you get your item soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get your item soon If it's already shipped then I think you don't have to. Unless they do so afterwards in which case that's fucked up. Seriously? How did they manage that? That's about the time mine is. Delivery sometime between the 20th and March 10th. Thank you. I hope the same for you. I'm sure you will, but me and China on the other hand It's just a necklace, though, so that shouldn't be too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a "customs charge" which takes the piss because I already paid quite a bit for postage. I should have queried it tbh but life was hectic and it got pushed aside I think my China parcel got delayed because she put the wrong address or something - it had a few postage stickers on it so it looked as if it had gone back and forth between the sender and the senders local post office. Mine is a "I woke up like this" jumper which I bought for the Beyonce concert tomorrow. But I'm not going anymore so I'm not as annoyed it's not here yet . Hopefully your necklace won't take much longer. That time frame is effed up though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, that's odd. I guess they were really busy that day or something Aww, why aren't you going? I understand. I agree. I'm hoping for this week. Right?!

bu. Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 WELP. No updates since the 26th. Am I just impatient? Or is USPS really just lame? These two threads suggest they're lame as well as posts in here . Down with USPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyna ♔ Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Recently I was having problems with them, too. I ordered some perfume (after my necklace) and tracking was ridiculous. Amazon didn't even show the tracking and USPS still had it in the Pre-Shipment phase Oddly enough, it was due today but I got it yesterday. They just weren't updating properly. The same might be going on with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bu. Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 That's possible actually. I remember I tracked my Bey tickets coming from the US (which were also USPS I think). And the day it updated to "received in the UK" I got them in the post that very morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
