USPS service

[Jeroen Pelgrom]

Salve,<br>
<br>
Last year (3 december 2002) i bought a couple of books through ebay in the US. Unfortunatly, until today (19 may 2003) i still haven't got the stuff. The seller is reliable (has many positive notes on ebay). The seller has no idea what is wrong and she is trying to get some answers from USPS. She sent me a copy of her receipt of the package to me. The receipt says:<br>
USPS<br>
- Econ M-bags/ books<br>
- Destination: Netherlands (this is correct)<br>
- weight: 40lb 5.00oz<br>
- Postage type: PVI<br>
- Total cost: 36.90<br>
- Base rate: 36.90<br>
- Customs label#: LC127300412US<br>
<br>
My question: has anybody an idea what may be the problem? Can i go to my post office (in the Netherlands) with this receipt? This whole thing has qost me a lot of money and i really, really want those books. I hope that somebody can help me here.<br>

I don't know if this will help, but the general rule with missing packages is that the sender must have them traced. They (the USPS) should be able to trace the package to where it disappeared.<br>

The stuff has probably been returned to the sender.<br>
..Or maybe it's waiting in a warehouse, somewhere.<br>
There has been problems as of late with parcel post across the Atlantic. I've read horror stories of people waiting up to six months and more to receive packages from the US. I personnally gave up on ordering US videos from Amazon because all I got was a message saying they were "undeliverable". Some explanation..<br>
It seem the problems began about a year and a half ago and that all of Europe is concerned. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub45.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=antoninuslucretius@romanarmytalk>Antoninus Lucretius</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://localhost:1094/Homesteads/_1750094854/files/Cesar_triste.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 5/27/03 10:34:18 am<br></i>
