I bought a $70 toy 3 weeks ago from China .Item location stated as Beijing , China . Tracking number provided referred to " China

Post", however that site said "item not received " . Contacted seller who said item sent to ";Netherlands Post " for onforwarding to Australia

....sorry meant to say is this some form of Pitney /Bowers around the globe trip for China based sellers?

Funny you should mention that. I bought some NiZn rechargeable batteries from Shenzhen, China on March 8 this year and they were sent to Swedish Post for delivery to Australia! This added around 10 days to the normal delivery time from China as they didn't arrive here until April 8.

I doubt it's any cheaper for them than China Post so I have no idea why they would ship in this manner.

Open an INR dispute just in case the item does not arrive in time.

If you were provided with a tracking number (displayed in your Purchase History) log on to International Track and Trace at http://www.trackitonline.ru/ and you'll be able to follow its progress. I was able to with mine. Just enter the number and allow it to autodetect the destination and carrier.

Beats me too, but I'm glad to hear that your item arrived OK. I'm also currently awaiting an item from a Chinese seller which has been sent from China to their US warehouse via APC for onforwarding to here in Brisbane but I'm starting to suspect that the tracking number might be bogus as the tracking data has not been updated in the 16 days since it was purchased.

Just have to keep a close eye on the dates so I don't miss the 45-day window for lodging a Paypal claim if it doesn't arrive (which I suspect may well be the case). Bloody annoying as it ties up my money for all that time when I could be using it to buy the item elsewhere.

Not sure if this has affected your purchase but there was an announcement on the US site last week about possible delays in mail being shipped through Shanghai airport.

China post will throw batteries and parcels with batteries ie mobile phones into the bin as they wont process them for what ever reason so items sent with other couriers ie netherlands post are more likely to be delivered.

I'm sure that after 18 months the OP has probably got their issue sorted. It's highly unlikely they will read your post and if they do, they will wonder why it's taken someone 18 months to post a reply to an issue that was completely resolved.

Hope they're not as useless as that tracking number - could be some wet fishermen around if that's the case.

That's if it's been repaired yet.
