Help with EMS International Express Tracking

[moneyhustler88]

I ordered something off ioffer for myself and paid for EMS Express international shipping so i get it in 5-10 days and like the sellers consistent he's shipped the item but i cant get the ems site to show me any details..

For EMS shipments to the US, I use this link instead of the EMS website. I am not sure if it works for the UK.
USPS Tracking

or try this
EMS Tracking Links of all countries

[moneyhustler88]

no luck :( We are currently unable to confirm that status of your parcel. Please check the number and try again. Please note that items sent over 4 months ago cannot be tracked online. If you are tracking a parcel sent from outside of the UK, we may not have received it yet. Please try again or use the help button below.

Is what it says :(

[yotano211]

I get the same thing when I check stuff on the EMS website. But when I check on the USPS site on the link, it shows when the parcel gets pick up and delivered. I dont use the EMS site, I use the one on the link. I guess just wait until it arrives.

[igotsuspended]

If your order shipped from international, you can't track it until it arrives within the US.

[rsot]

Not true igotsuspended - you can track it the moment it is entered into the system - example : EMS China.

It is possible that your seller has not shipped it but will do...worth considering

check the parcelforce site, it sometimes shows the tracking there.

i tried parcelforce UK it says nothing.. he claims he shipped on 17th

[moneyhustler88]

Thanks guys..i think i maybe scammed but used paypal anyway..it was for a $80 watch..as the seller on ioffer had excellent feedback from what i saw..but he told me he shipped it on the 17th.then when i opened a ioffer dispute he kept updating with a new tracking number..but ive tried his latest tracking number and it says this:

Status: Accepted
Parcel tracks:
Date Time Location Tracking Event
21-09-2012 14:21 Delivery Agent - CHINA Collected from customer

Not true, I use the EMS USPS website and it tracks it the moment it gets picked up. I never use the EMS direct website.

[oompaloompa]

hold up, who said you have been scammed. the beginnings of tracking are on there it may take a while to be updated....he just shipped it late

[Ebayorbust]

EMS tracking regularly takes several days to show anything.

You havent been scammed.

The sellers usually upload tracking info before actually dispatching. Tracking info appears once it has been collected and scanned.

[oompaloompa]

yes, they get the tracking labels in advance so they give it to you, then it depends on when the parcel is collected as to when it appears, if he said he 'shipped' it on 17th he misled you, as it was not collected til 21st but it is kinda normal...

[moneyhustler88]

Well although I haven't been scammed why the seller lied I don't know. He told me he shipped on the 17th, then when i opened a dispute as i kept asking him why the tracking wasn't showing, he kept posting re-delivery notes..i looked through them and noticed this tracking code..and obviously typed it in to find it..therefore if i was under the impression i was scammed, its the sellers own fault..who now isnt replying to any of my messages..

ate Time Location Tracking Event
22-09-2012 01:04 Delivery Agent - SHANGHAI - PTT Forwarded for export

This is what his last tracking number says...anyone know what it means and roughly when it'll reach UK on a guess? it was sent yesterday but this is the latest update..

[oompaloompa]

probably arrive within next 3 days, but can take up to 10, depends

[Ebayorbust]

As oompa has said, it should hit the UK in a couple of days. Once customs release it (a few days to weeks), usually delivered within 24 hours after that.

You should have used Fedex/DHL/UPS instead. EMS can take an eternity to clear customs. My parcel was in there for four or five days... and boy did that hurt.

[moneyhustler88]

it was sellers choice tbh
