Tracking Code isn't working??

Post by UUolf »

Was it mistyped maybe? I can no longer get in contact with the seller.

I've also read they some times take over 72 hours to actually start the tracking process?

When was it flagged as dispatched on whatever selling site? If it was dispatched yesterday, there is always the possibility that the seller missed the final collection at their local PO branch though I'd have expected to have still seen a tracking entry

It was confirmed by seller dispatched yesterday.

What do you mean by final collection?

Its shipping to the US, BTW.

Confirmation of dispatch is not always confirmation that it's entered the Postal System. It could be siting in a container awaiting collection.

The last collection from that site on a particular day. Mostly between 4 and 6 pm on Weekdays and Mid-day on Saturdays.

That shouldn't affect it unless for some reason the sending address, the receiving address or the items contained in the package are of interest to their Border or Homeland Security. Homelands security rules seem to change with little or no warning and then revert back to normal again with no warning.
