Im just wondering how often this sorta thing happens?

I sent a package of O&G to Choose Nothing to California. but according to the tracking number it was delivered to Minnesota 4 days ago.... I called Canada Post and they said wait about 5 days for an investigation, just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them?

and this is the one time I bought extra insurance too..... go figure......

I bought some items from Australia about a month ago-still haven't received them. Sent a message to the party on here, no response. I know the models were sent out, but I'm thinking some kind of postal/customs shenanigans are taking place...

Could be held over at customs,which may take up to 60 days.

It can take up to 60 days? Wtf? I mean, they aren't pressing pieces-I get em when I get em, but still-the postal service wonders why people hate it and everyone uses the internet for EVERYTHING they can possibly send through it. the post office...

well mine isnt a customs thing, it actually says DELIVERED.... doesnt even have his name on it, not even an address... just city/state o.0

and correct me if im wrong (never been to the states) but Im fairly certain Minnesota isnt too much like California........

I am so disgusted with USPS that I am considering setting up a commercial account with fed ex and UPS just so I never have to use those jokers ever again.

well I did just give it to canada post and they handed it over to USPS so... I think thats where it went wrong

I don't really like shipping to other countries for just this reason. It's very hard to track or sort out issues.

One time I ordered a Sentinel for my IG off of ebay for like 9 dollars.

A week goes by, I go out to check the mail, and my package is ripped open, and inside of a USPS bag, with a note saying that it somehow opened during shipping, and my contents were lost. Tough $#!%, get on with your life.

Guess that poor sentinel was lost to the warp....

I am curious on how they delivered to Minnesota instead of Cali. That isn't the closest of states at all. Maybe Canada Post put the wrong zipcode in?

It could be that the recipeint had the package forwarded. Just ask him if he got the package. If yes, then there's no problem. If no, then let the investigation begin.

no, he didnt do anything, and I cant call or contact who has it now, this is no name, address, or even phone number......

just city / state.....

The really strange part is the tracking number "isn't found" on the canada post website, it only shows up on the USPS website.

Since you have insurance on the package and since Choose Nothing didn't receive the package make a claim on that insurance. Sometimes there just needs to be a little incentive given to the post office for them to get their act together.

I called and they said give them 5 days to see whats wrong, but after that I can refund C.N.

:/, sucks that he couldnt get the models, even had the spell cards and some LE models :(

I would never recommend using USPS. They're a bunch of fething jokes. FedEx or UPS all the way, tho they're not without their own flaws.

Well, I guess the post office just messed up the tracking cause he told me something appeared at his doorstep :3

still... was a close one

I ordered a MkIX dreadnought from the old space crusade game back in February. It still hasn't shown up and by this point most likely lost to the warp. It breaks my heart just thinking about what could have happened to the venerable little guy.
