TNT shipping.

[walshydub]

Anyone had experience of using TNT to get packages shipped internationally?

I've got a package in transit with them. Their online tracking shows it was "dispatched to country of destination" on the 19/02 and is still in transit. The tracking shows it hasn't moved in at least the last 10 days.

Does anyone know how to tell how they would have sent it?
I would have assumed they put it on a plane but it might have been literally "shipped" which would take weeks.

I have sent and received, and if it is not scanned regularly, you are on surface mail - sorry to advise.

[walshydub]

You're probably right. Was hoping it wasn't the case.

How long would it take? I did a quick Google search and it looks like from 6-12 weeks......

Mine took 8 - but it depends which boat it is on an which ports it is due in at. Sorry mate.

Usually its pretty quick for me but expensive

Where is it stuck at?

[walshydub]

Don't know where its at. Doesn't say on the tracking site. Just says:


16.02.2010:
Parcel has been pre-alerted
16.02.2010:
Parcel picked up and in sorting process
16.02.2010:
Parcel sorted for country of destination
19.02.2010:
Parcel sent to country of destination

no movement since

I wouldn't be that bothered but its a part that i need to get my car back on track. The company I bought from offered 2 forms of postage economy or express. Express was $100 more expensive, so obviously chose economy, but they didn't specify that it would take up to 3 months in shipping.....

Live & learn

Man that sucks, i like how ups and fedex actually tell u where abouts in location ur parcel is at and also have an estimated delivery date. I suppose the only thing u can do is ring em up with ur tracking number.

I dont think its at customs coz these companies have arrangements that allow them to deliver on time.

It sure sounds like it's on a boat, and won't scan again till it arrives. 10 weeks plus is my experience there.

[mikepologti]

was about to say that, boats take forever sometimes.

We waited 8 months for our Hemi block. The useless bastards lost it and found it and "Oh wait it hasn't been shipped yet" etc. What a PITA.

Having said that i've waited 2 weeks for a cam gear via USPS air mail before. You may be lucky.
