    Amazed by US postal service

    I sent a dozen of new Coolermaster LED fan from USA to here early 2005. The package didn't arrive up until now. My friend who sent it didn't got the package back either. So I presumed its lost in transit.

    Last week I sent 2 of the SCAN's MP3 Player Over to the US. My friend wasn't at home and got a slip to go and pick it up.

    GUESS WHAT? He went to the post office and got 2 packages (one being the MP3 players) and the other one was my fans which were lost in transit 1.5 years ago!!!

    I'm amazed...where the hell did they find that package...

    My friend going to send the fans out again sometime later. Hope its not going to get lost again...

    Haha, interesting they kept it so long. The post office over here only keep it for x amount of time... 3 months?


    I've bought from America a few times, everytime I've used UPS and I've manage to get it in about a week or less (fast!)

    Are you sure it's USPS who lost it?

    When they reach this country they are delivered by parcelfarce, who not only have a dubious record for keeping track of packages, they add a £20 'admin fee' to customs charges. They also send you a letter to let you know about the charges instead of trying to deliver.

    Parcelfarce have proven to be the worst company to deal with imparted goods that I have found.

    I'd say that as it was sat in the US Postal Office when he went in for the mp3 players then it probably never reached Parcelforce?

    But yeah, 1.5 years is quite an achievement! The only person who's ever had a letter sitting around for longer than that is Dr. Emmet Brown
