SHIPPING

[Matt]

Of course, the rules are there for a reason.  I'm no anarchist.  It's just that I live in a pretty quaint neighborhood and my UPS guys is a regular so he just opens up the door and shoves it in there.  It's pretty out of the way.  I just hate rushing home to get there early and missing him by a half hour then having to wait until the next day to get it sorted out.

You could write a letter and leave it on your door explaining that you will take responsibility. Some drivers will take that as a signature. Worth a shot. Leave your name and phone number and tell them to call with questions. If you like far out, trust me, they don't want to come back unless they have to.

Very helpful, thanks.

Anyone have experience getting a package via Colissimo, the French courier, to the US? Does it get transferred to USPS? I paid like 21 euros for a "registered" parcel so I'm curious what to expect.

Hi',

I ship some package from France to world in colissimo. Sneakers most of time. Packages weight is between 1.8kg and 3kg when i ship two pairs. Costs are between 38€ and 60€ !!!! It's the economic way yet. You only can track your parcel on colissimo.fr i think. What are the first letters of your tracking number?

[GimpKid]

The guy I bought from didn't give me a tracking number, unfortunately. I'll wait a few days and see what happens. I'm just glad someone uses them and has okay experiences. I'll update when I know more.

Thanks Simoon.

BTW, did ya ask about your package from the customs?

[Blackheart]

No, it didn't have a tracking number so without one they'd have no info.

Still hoping that it will show up one day though…

[injunjack]

Bummer…

[Blackheart]

Yeah, it's been almost 4 months now…

Hey I bought a IHT from a guy in Thailand (LIGHTZ)  Will the package track once it hits US soil or will it stop in Thai customs like it has on the 15th?
