FieroFlyer/Dan strikes again... (Page 2/2)

Several years ago a guy from Italy purchased a part from me on Ebay. I shipped it promptly air parcel post, provided the tracking info and a month later he could not locate the part in their postal system. We exchanged many emails over the next few months and I finally decided to give him a refund. Before I could get around to it the following day,I received a message that said the it was delivered with the tracking info exactly as provided. The delivery time--4 months ARO. I decided to never ship to that country again. As for shipmets to and from Canada; I would venture to say that they are slow at this time.

Not always.

A couple of weeks ago, I placed an order with RockAuto just before midnight Thursday. It was picked up by FedEx (for regular delivery) from Mount Vernon NY early Friday afternoon, it mostly sat around over the weekend on Saturday and Sunday at FedEx's distribution hub in Memphis TN, and was then delivered to me clear across the country (and across the border) in Vancouver BC early Monday afternoon. I was quite impressed!

Nobody is implying that tracking numbers are a guarantee of delivery

What they DO guarantee is that "something" has been shipped. The recipient in this case is based out of Ontario. The sender is based out of Ontario. So the whole cross border discussion is irrelevant.

What is evident is a long history of packages that were supposedly sent, but never arrived, and no tracking number was provided. This has zero to do with the sender's technical ability- that is also not relevant to the post. It has to do with not delivering what was promised and paid for, over and over and over again, and not communicating to buyers.

As stated in initial post, buyer beware.
