crumbs 14,306 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 @ArpyYeah same status mine has been stuck on since Tuesday afternoon. Melbourne customs? I'll let you know once mine clears. Should give you an indication of how long yours will take to clear. Apparently Australia Post are delivering on weekends at the moment too BTW, so that helps.

Arpy 4,145 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 If yours entered customs a few days ago, then mine will still be there days after the rate they're processing everything. I just don't understand how or why it should take this long, especially since I don't even remember my other LLL orders being delayed by the Australian postal system...

crumbs 14,306 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 @Arpy Either, it's very strange. I guess they're inundated with Christmas mail but surely parcels are just scanned automatically upon arrival, as with standard baggage on airplanes?? Seems ridiculous that a simple parcel with CDs should take more than a few hours to be processed and released. They're bloody inefficient. 1977 and redishere 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can ensure you that I didn't make any mistake. In the confirmation email just after buying the set the address is correct and the one that I wrote in LLL and PayPal. To be fair, my address is not a common address since I wanted the box shipped to my working place and the address doesn't follow the pattern of "street name, apartment number" in the US, but I have received mail from US with the address I provided (and not only me, many people here). I wrote them yesterday but I haven't got an answer yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last real update was on the 8th. No updates on the Royal Mail website either. Getting more worried now, especially as if it never arrives getting replacements could mean waiting a while if things go out of stock.

staccato 6 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Finally! From November 27 until yesterday I waited until Lalaland would fulfill my order. 2 Bonds and Harry Potter boxset probably started their trip to Poland. The last time I ordered Jurassic Park, the whole journey took 6 days. This time we have a holiday period and probably will not do without customs officers. How do you think how many pieces and what price did Lala land enter in the form on the envelope? 3 CDs and 30 $? Or 11 CDs and 110 $? I had 10 $ and 1CD at Jurassic Park. I'm just curious.

Richard Penna 3,679 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I found that my updates jumped between USPS and Royal Mail. One of them would know more than the other for a day then it reversed. Although by the time it got to my local sorting office, USPS had updates but they were useless, e.g. 'arrived at facility', and RM had the detail. Hence for those still waiting, try switching between Stamps.com, USPS and your local mail company, and you might get some more helpful info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it has some function. But people often make fun of it, because the difference between pushing it and not pushing it is usually so marginal, as to be useless.

Elevator doors generally close automatically after a few seconds. When you push the button, it closes maybe half a second sooner. If you're the only person in the elevator, or if something blocked the doors and they just re-opened, it saves you a few seconds of waiting. More importantly, those few seconds can mean the difference between going up right away and being blocked by another bunch of people seeing your open elevator door and running in. If you're in a hurry, or in an office building that has multiple elevators anyway, that's significant. My office is on the 8th floor, the four elevators for the lower half of the building only go up to 11 (ha-ha), so having other people in your car usually means making several additional stops along the way. I'm generally annoyed when an elevator does NOT have a close button. (Some even have TWO open buttons - which are indeed quite pointless - but no open button) 41 minutes ago, SF1_freeze said: Yes, i used this tracking website, which was faster and more detailled than usps tracking: https://trackitonline.org That doesn't show anything that https://t.17track.net/ doesn't show - basically, it just combines the tracking of USPS with that of the Austrian post. But the labels are slightly different, and that worries me even more - because the (earlier) Intrada package only shows "Postaufgabe im Ausland" under the Post.at info, while the LLL order also has "Send item abroad (Export)". But the latter was 5 days ago, so if tracking is supposed to be continuous, that's not exactly reassuring either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
