viper151 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, On the 16th I made an order with hookah-shisha which was dispatched the same day (love when this happens) I ordered from hookah-shisha mostly because their shipping might be a little bit more expensive but arrives within 10 days according to their shipping calculator. After that I noticed that on their FAQ and ordering info page, says that Priority Mail takes 2-3 weeks which is confusing given the fact that in USPS website it says that priority mail to Greece takes 6-10 days. I've received the tracking code which says the following: [img]http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/9650/dc1f8161a0ba4b63bb6e9a8.png[/img] So the parcel has left Chicago, but it's been 4 days and it is still in transit. Shouldn't it show that it arrived in an other Sort Facility/Hub in USA or Europe? What should it show after that? What's your experience with USPS and Priority Mail in Europe??

mushrat Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Well, it is Christmas, so thats going to slow it down cause everyone is sending packages this time of year. Also, USPS tracking is well known for not working properly and not being updated properly. I've received packages that still showed awaiting pick up.

vendetta_revived Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Every time I order from US, my order arrives within 9 days, but USPS always shows it as "in transit", even after it has been delivered to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper151 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 vendetta do you order priority or express?? Mushrat just because you are the admin I can't put rep on you. That's unfair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santino Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 This commonly means the package is stuck in customs. Happens quite a bit this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLCP Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Yeah what Santino said. Also, USPS isn't really good with updating their tracking of packages. So for all you know it could be in Greece already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually buy staff from Europe and I have no experience with the customs but what I know is that for obvious reasons, Greece's customs rarely stall the packages.

vendetta_revived Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 They have probably just not updated their information. As I said, happens with me every damn time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobiasKM Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I ordered some Tangiers Lucid from John, and he sent it on the 8th. Just received it today. I live in Denmark, and usually it arrives within a week, this time it took a couple of weeks Thought it was stuck in customs, but fortunately not. Just slow christmas shipping I guess. I've given up on their tracking system, when it comes to international shipping at least, it offers no information of value at all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
