USPS from America - ETA

[sj33]

Bought a PS3 from a US ebay seller, paid extra for the UPS Worldwide Express shipping, the guy sends it over USPS - GRR. Emailed him about it, we'll see what happens.

Was sent yesterday, and the USPS tracking is only updated every evening. How long should I expect it to take?

my wii was sent the same and it took 9 days to reach local parcelfarce depot. use your tracking number on parcelforce website, cheers

[sj33]

9 days?! ffs.

Oh well, thanks for the help!

[Concrete donkey]

My Wii also took 9 days to reach the depot. One of the longest 9 days of my life

[sj33]

This is totally gutting, I paid for UPS for the 1-2 day delivery >_<

Oh well, back to Zelda! Might be able to finish my Wii games without distraction.

Same here, my PS3 left LA via USPS on December 2nd, and now it's stuck in limbo

[sj33]

Where is it, just caught in the customs backlog?

ignore please!

No no no, I paid the extra for UPS Worldwide Express (as in, the courier service), but the guy sent it as USPS (as in, United States Postal Service)!

The reason I bought it from him was because he offered UPS shipping and I wanted the machine this week as I'm home to hear the door. The fact that the idiot sent it with USPS defeats the point of buying it with him!

EDIT - ah, just read your edit!

it took 4 days for my Wii to reach the depot, then I collected it as it appeared Parcel Force were doing **** all with it - it had a customs charge and they didnt bother to write, call or anything. All my digging was done via the ****ty customer service line...

Lol, did you have to do the thing where you read out the tracking no. and the computer never recognises it, then forces you to do it again and again before transferring you to a CS assistant? I really suffered with that with my PS3

>_< I'm beginning to regret this now.

well, I just tried to reach someone straight away, when I couldnt do that I used their website to find my local depot - and to my luck there was a separate phone number to try - after 20 mins of holding I got through!

ARGH!!!!!

Yeah sorry for the misunderstanding.......I know you must be pretty hacked off with the whole thing! Hopefully the guy will at least give you a full/ partial refund of your shipping costs as it's his mistake.

Fingers crossed your PS3 be with you shortly

Caught in customs I wish, at least then I'd have some progress!

It left the US, but it hasn't been tracked to have arrived in the UK for 4 days
