Monil Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Does anyone in UK have any experience with getting stuff shipped over from US using USPS?I placed an order with Hookah-Shisha Sunday before last and it was dispatched on the Tuesday. It's now over a week later and the latest update on my tracking is: Deta iled Results: [img]http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetWeb/images/spacer.gif[/img] [img]http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetWeb/images/spacer.gif[/img] [img]http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetWeb/images/bullet_circle.gif[/img] International Dispatch, February 09, 2006, 11:45 am, Chicago (O'Hare) AMC [img]http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetWeb/images/bullet_circle.gif[/img] Enroute, February 08, 2006, 4:36 pm, AUSTIN, TX 78799 [img]http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetWeb/images/bullet_circle.gif[/img] Acceptance, February 08, 2006, 2:51 pm, AUSTIN, TX 78744Been on a plane since 9th or what? It's now 15th!!! Has anyone who's used them in the past tell me if they've had this kinda problem or wait and what the outcome was? I'm waiting on a hookah and 1100 grams of shisha and the wait is killing as I also have 1250 grams of new shisha in my cupboard waiting to be smoked with this same hookah!I'd very much appreciate any response!

txbrit31 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Yup. As a Texan who lives in northern england I can tell you it will take 6-8 days to reach the UK. (not counting Sundays/Bank Holidays). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Do you mean to reach UK (ie customs etc) or to reach me? Tomorrow would be the 8th day if you take into account Sunday doesn't count, so please put me out of my misery and tell me if I can expect it at my house for tomorrow!

txbrit31 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I haven't had any problems with customs. But I haven't had any tobbacco shipped over. If they sent it international express or global priority- the longest wait I've had is 10 days. if it is sent air mail could be up to two weeks. I just sent a package to the US via airmail 2 weeks ago and it has yet to arrive.. I suspect Valentines Day is playing havock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txbrit31 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 also could be parcelfarce to blame as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Ah do they pass it over to Parcelforce once it gets here? I thought it was Royal Mail.At the moment I'm on the 7th day since dispatch (8th including sunday), really could do with it arriving tomorrow. Earlier this week I got some tobacco in thru Parcelforce and had no problems with Customs. As far as I know its "USPS Express Mail", estimated 1-1.5 weeks for delivery.

Monil Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hey guys don't worry. I missed the delivery this morning, at least that means its here right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laher Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Yes Monil it will arrive... I also have sh*t loads of shisha which i ordered that came in two days !! (That was pretty unbelievable...) Check your PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Sent you a reply. Heh this is the 9-10th day since I ordered and its finally here (or will be soon). When I used socialsmoke I got it within 2 working days (assuming sat-sun isnt a working day) - I was thrilled with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift_Six Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Yea socialsmoke got my large order to Toronto, Canada in 1 day, but technically 2. Hope you get it soon man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlakos_politakos Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 wow!6-9days.it doesnt take that long for my christmas presents to get to athens,greece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yeah took 9 days to arrive (tho I missed it so will have to pick it up on Monday) if you exclude Sundays. I don't get how it took 7 days to go from INTL dispatch to arrived in UK (boats are slower, planes are faster?) Was it a blimp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntm82 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Monil, How much did you pay for the shipping? Any extra charges i.e. import duty tax etc.? T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGuy Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 sorry, to dig this one up from the grave, but yeah. Using UPS, how much does it cost to ship stuff over to the UK including shippin and extra charges and stuff... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enima For Your Lungs Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Depends on the weight of the order. I shipped 6 250g jars of tobacco the other day (5.5 pounds with packaging) and it cost me $36 for airmail. For most orders it will probably cost between $25 and $45. I don't know if some sites have a large "handling" fee though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
