hahaha--karma is my friend
« on: April 27, 2006, 04:08:54 PM »
monday afternoon i sent two large boxes of my stuff to birmingham via surface, which is supposed to take 4-6 weeks.

df rang this morning to tell me that one of them had arrived today.  :o

this almost kinda sorta makes up for the one box usps/royal mail has already lost. buttnuggets  ::)

I've had that happen, too! Sometimes, even though a parcel is marked as going surface it ends up mistakenly going airmail! Good for you! :D

Wow! That is fast.

I'm starting to get worried about my boxes. I shipped about 10 starting at the beginning of Feb and I have only received 3 so far. It has been well over 8 weeks for many of them. Unfortunately, it is the important/valuable stuff that is missing.  :(,

Ugh.  This is my biggest concern about shipping.  I'm really frightened to send my stuff over by surface!

Don't give up hope - mine took the absolute longest time that was estimated but they did get here!!

i've had one of 12 go missing. we inquired about filing a claim, but parcelforce said that, despite the fact that the USPS says it's gonna take 4-6 weeks, we have to give it three months beore we can make a claim.

pah.

Well at least I can hope for sometime between now and 3 months....... because its been longer than 8 weeks. I don't need any of the stuff right now, in fact I have no clue where I'm going to put it or why I even shipped it to begin with. I'll be happy no matter when they arrive as long as they do arrive. Unfortunately, right now our computer is missing as well as all of our DVDs.  :(
