Sorry if I put it on wrong place, but just curious..
I've bought 3 BW figures (Inferno, Quickstrike, TM Tarantulas), right, and the seller gave me the USPS tracking number.



The problem is, like I quoted above, since Aug 25 till Sep 11 (today), it's still on Acceptance status, which means, it's still on USA. While a friend of mine, also buy stuff from eBay since Aug 27, and already got his stuff since Sep 8.

Oh and, I'm on Indonesia, as you guy may already know. Man, what's the point of paying for fast shipping, if it's got delayed like hell. How to deal with it?

HINT: Don't use the United States Postal Service.

Stop living in Indonesia.



my guess is that information isn't updated as often when it's flying over the Pacific

I thought it was okay. Several times bought stuffs, and some sellers that I have done business with, tend to use them. But heh, Iunno..



Wait till I get enough money to naturalize to Israel.



I do think so. My friend already got his CDs from eBay since September 8th, and that's what compels me to search to local post office just few hours ago, and the crap is, no data of such package..

Damn, this really panics me..

You also have to worry about Customs, because you know how they like to randomly open stuff...

J/K, I'm sure it's fine, like LMH said, it's prolly on a 767 over the Pacific.

Does it got something to do with recent hurricane? No?

Totally, the Postal Service sucks. Use one of them free market shipping entities. (I am a hypocrite, I use USPS because there is one 500 feet away from my front door, and they have a 24/7 shipping kiosk).

USPS can suck, unless you practice CYA up the wazoo:

1) Insurance - A MUST

2) Priority Int'l - Whenever possible

Delivery confirmation is worthless... signature confirmation is a better bet. I find that most places (including PayPal) won't accept delivery confirmation as a form of package tracking.

Next time, try DHL

Also, ALWAYS ship Priority Mail with USPS, or it's guaranteed not to get there.

It's Priority Mail. But, WTF..

Now my guesses are...

#1 It's tracking barcode are not regularly scanned during each transits, so hence why the data on USPS tracking can't be relied upon.

#2 Yes, it's on the way to me now.

#3 Held by the daaaaayumn Customs.

#4 Totally lost...

The great thing is, the seller's willing to pay me full refund if incase the package is lost. But still, been searching for these 3 figs for years.

I've noticed the USPS is getting really lackluster lately. Maybe it's all part of the U.S. becoming world's #2.

Okay, just checked the tracking again..

Here's what I got for the 3 Predacons I mentioned earlier..


While for my 10th-Anniv Waspinator, TM Terrorsaur & my friend's Leader Megatron that I bought from fellow TFormers, Satan's Camaro..

USPS rules. I don't know about you guys, but I actually work a day job. I don't have time to sit on my hands waiting for UPS to come along between 10 and 2 so I can sign for sh!t. I appreciate the fact that the Post Office will actually deliver my stuff. Of course, I don't live in Indonesia.

Yeah, that seems to be the problem. I have no problems at all and I strictly use USPS Priority for all of my shipping.

Both packages arrived at the same day! Yessssss

oh yea, you'll get that alot. it depends on what part of the US the package is going through. i find that the USPS tracking system is highly unreliable >_>

i've received packages who's only update was telling me it was delivered before. i still find the usps to be fine though. can't stand dhl though, they always seem to take the longest for me and farging UPS and FedEx leaves shot on the porch so the rain can soak it or it can be stolen -_-
