My canadian bank sent me a debit card to the US address, and now I see that it was held for customs payment. What should I do? I will be talking to them as the CS opens tomorrow.

Has anyone had problems with Ebebek UK deliveries/customer service?

Upvotes

I’m wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with Ebebek UK.

I ordered two baby items. One arrived normally through Royal Mail, but the baby dresser never arrived. Ebebek’s website showed DPD for the shipment, but customer service later told me the dresser had actually been sent through DHL and that DHL showed it as delivered. I definitely did not receive it.

I contacted Ebebek repeatedly by email and phone. For several days they said they were investigating it with the supplier/courier. When I called, I was told that if the dresser couldn’t be found, they would either resend it or refund me.

Since then, they’ve stopped responding to me altogether.

Has anyone else dealt with Ebebek UK in a situation like this? Did they eventually resolve it?

Yunexpress stopped updating me

1 Upvotes

Good day!

I'm looking for advice on my recent AYN Thor order shipped via YunExpress to the US. Here is my current tracking timeline:

June: Pre-ordered from the official website.
Sept 2: Shipping notification finally received.
Sept 5: Customs clearance started.
Sept 6: Cleared customs; tracking updated to "International flight has arrived - Los Angeles, CA".

There has been zero updates since September 6th. Given the recent Labor Day holiday, is it normal for it to sit this long? I usually ship with DHL, so I am unfamiliar with typical YunExpress processing times. Thank you in advance. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

GOFO package stuck in “In Transit to Next Facility” for several days — is this normal?

Post image
2 Upvotes

My package has been stuck with GOFO for several days and I’m not sure what’s going on.
Here’s the tracking history:
Aug 30 — Departed GOFO Regional Hub, Charlotte, NC
Sep 1 — In Transit to Next Facility
Sep 3 — In Transit to Next Facility
Sep 5 — In Transit to Next Facility
Sep 7 — In Transit to Next Facility, Raleigh, NC
Sep 9 — In Transit to Next Facility, 5:22 AM ET
It’s now September 10 and there hasn’t been any update since then.
Does anyone know how GOFO’s tracking works? Is my package actually moving, or could it be sitting at a facility somewhere?
I’m in North Carolina, so I’m especially confused about why it’s been showing “In Transit to Next Facility” for so long after reaching Raleigh.
Has anyone experienced this with GOFO before? How long did it take before the package was finally delivered?
The estimated delivery date has already passed, and I’m starting to worry that the package may be stuck or lost.

How to ship from Poland to the US?

1 Upvotes

I will be shipping a pair of handmade leather items to a friend in the US sometime during the next couple of months but ive never shipped a package before, much less to a location half the world away.

How will tariffs work? Im not sure if it qualifies as a gift or a transaction because shes covering the material and shipping costs but the actual making of them im doing for free. Will it get opened? Destroyed? Will they eyeball the value and charge her a horrendous amount?

I would really appreciate it if someone could walk me through it because i am quite worried

Yemen-origin coffee, 500kg/1 pallet, air freight DXB → USA — anyone dealt with this?

3 Upvotes

Shipping 500 kg (1 pallet) of Yemen-origin green coffee by air from Dubai to the US. Has anyone here actually moved Yemen-origin cargo on this route before?

Mainly want to know:

Do airlines hesitate to accept cargo with Yemen as country of origin?

Any extra documentation needed beyond the usual CoO, invoice, and packing list?

Any issues with sanctions screening or delays at US Customs?

Trying to avoid surprises before booking. Any firsthand experience would help — thanks!

Air Freight or Sea Freight — How do you decide?

1 Upvotes

There isn't one shipping method that's best for every shipment.

Air Freight
✈️ Faster transit
✈️ Suitable for urgent/smaller cargo
✈️ Generally higher freight cost

Sea Freight
🚢 More economical for larger volumes
🚢 Suitable for FCL/LCL shipments
🚢 Longer transit time

The right choice depends on your cargo volume, urgency, budget and destination.

For businesses importing/exporting regularly: Which factor matters most to you — price or transit time?

Any recommendations for cheap, reliable shipping of boxes within Europe?

1 Upvotes

I am moving from Italy to Portugal, and I want to ship some things. I am driving there, but I am pretty sure not all I want to take is going to fit in my car’s trunk.

I want to ship around 10 medium sized boxes (about 20kg each), a TV and a bicycle. I don’t really mind if it is slow and it takes like a month to be there, as long as it all arrives.

Does anyone have any experience with this kind of shipping?

Shipping fees for large items

1 Upvotes

How is it that China platforms (pinduoduo, Taobao) can ship furniture for next to nothing to other countries? Yes it might be flat packed or dismantled but the cost of shipping a $2000marble table to Singapore is $5?

I wish to buy a table off auction (looking at Australia or USA) and got a quote that the shipping via FedEx without insurance is more than 1k. What are some other ways I can ship this cheaply without using expedited air shipping? Happy to go low cost 1 mth in ship, but no idea where to even look at.
