Shopping on eBay and international shipping (in the eBay system?) ASENDIA is not the best.
Summary: max-bit brings up the topic of purchases on eBay using Asendia international shipping, pointing out problems associated with this system.
Unfortunately, a new not-so-great experience with ebay this time, purchase in the USA and shipping
First, for a few days (a whole week, actually) the shipment was making its way to the shipping center in the USA.
Now it’s been a week since it got to some company called ASENDIA (Deal LaPoste - Swiss Post), and another week has gone by and nobody knows where the shipment is; there’s only information that they have it in their clutches and nothing more.
Well, it’s not exactly Swiss watch precision.
I’m curious what will happen next at all; they estimate the delivery time at 3 weeks. I’ll put it this way: by today’s standards, when you wait max 2-3 weeks for a shipment from China (sometimes they handle it in a week, no problem), this is, to put it mildly, rock bottom.
Let’s just say I’m not really surprised.
We’ll see what happens next; I’ll give them another week, and if nothing moves, I’m filing a claim with PayPal and that’s the end of it.
It’s weird: I buy something from Mouser or Digikey for 200 PLN (yes, 200 PLN, not USD) and I get free shipping, and it’s usually here in 3-4 days max.
Here I bought something for 1200 PLN and.... I don’t have anything yet.
Doesn’t look great.
