[MOPO] Aw: Re: [MOPO] USPS thorough investigation (NOT!)

[Helmut Hamm]

I have had the same experience, eventually everything does show up again. I think the longest delay I ever had for an incoming package was more than six months. And that was with DHL Express. They had long refunded the seller, but when they rediscovered my package, they called me and asked if I still wanted it. 

 

I generally avoid to ship in tubes as they are always likely to roll off a collie or something, so I usually place the tube in a square box. But cutting costs while raising prices all the time does not help either.

 

And the new customs regulations in Europe are another pest. Before, import taxes were only collected if the total amount due was at least €5, for businesses the cut-off point was €10.

 

Now, they are charging from the first cent: If I buy something for €1 in the UK, they bill me 19 Cents in taxes, plus €6 that DHL Germany charges for collecting. I‘ve entirely stopped making small purchases like that. It makes no sense anymore.

Tommy, THIS is why I fear the continually deteriorating shipping companies (NOT just USPS), combined with the added customs fees all countries now insist on collecting, will cause a massive diminishing of international trade (NOT just movie posters).

The one silver lining, for now, is that just about every package EVENTUALLY shows up.Over and over we have had long delayed packages arrive after MONTHS, with no explanation or updated tracking.

 

It is all so very sad.

On Feb 3rd emovie poster shipped a tube to me in UK. It was tracked on a journey around US before arriving in London (apparently) on 13th. I assumed that it would then reach me in a few days, but the next tracking details told me it was now being processed through customs in Seoul, South Korea. Shortly after that it went to Seoul International Post office and I was informed that  'Origin Post is Preparing Shipment', whatever that means. After the stipulated 45 days I had emovieposter initiate a missing mail search (which they told me could take 30 days but that they would keep me updated, which they didn't). Checking myself a few days ago I found that this was the result of USPS's extensive and no doubt exhaustive investigation - ' Origin Post is Preparing Shipment
We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece.' In other words all that happened was that they looked up my tracking details and after a few weeks reposted the original and completely nonsensical information. Utterly ridiculous!
