Global Shipping Program Pitney Bowes

[davidc4430]

so i buy an item on the 28th may from the USA and its shipped via you know who. GSP

ive got a lovely tracking number, says it was uploaded.

but can i find my item anywhere?

nope. nothing since day one.

my delivery dates are 10th to 22nd june.

so i'm waiting.

btw, the item would weigh about 200grams and cost $42 postage! i would never charge a customer that much.

i only agreed as the item is very rare.

bitney bowes is the pits for service, why ebay want their delivery company to be so terrible is anyones guess.

Try Pitney Bowes tracker page: https://parceltracking.pb.com/

And try the tracking number as Parcel ID AND Order No.

Hopefully one of them will work. 

Once your item is with a courier (hopefully FedEx) and then eventually in Oz try every number you've got - PB, FedEx (or whoever) under every search option on their sites until one of them works.  Also with couriers, try the US site and the Oz one. 

I've only bought one item via the GSP (had no choice) and I ended up with a parcel IDs, consignment numbers, tracking...you name it depending on who was handling each stage of my purchase.  It took me a while to get it all to work and find out where my item was.

i only have a tracking number and i used that site and it doesnt show up as being anything but uploaded since may 28th

Just what we needed, David, another thread about the GSP.

4channel will be along any minute now..............maybe even c mount..........

[davidc4430]

sorry. i had hoped there might be a site or page somewhere i can enter my tracking number and actually get some info about my item.

long shot i know.

You need to contact the seller David. 

If a tracking number has been uploaded but nothing else is showing it means that the seller has prepared the shipping label but not yet posted the item....or if it has been posted it has not been scanned.

If it has not yet reached Erlanger KY then it is nothing to do with the GSP.

If it is still with the USPS youshould try their tracking site.

[zanadoo_56]

Very true.  The seller may be saving up as a batch or packages to send to Erlanger. 

A query about your purchase might be a gentle reminder.

Other than that....  No one said the GSP is a fast service. 😉

Oh it will arrive by the 20th David.....the question is the 20th of which month.  You should have it by Christmas I would think.

I know the GSP is slow but 3 weeks to get to Erlanger is ridiculous.

David, I didn't realise that your goods were sent on the first leg of their journey by arthritic camel...!
