    Ebays farktard of a shipping company....

    Ok so I'm taking a punt there will be plenty of you out that hate ebays global shipping Centre and it's UPAA**** tracking number system (New experience for me). Long story short....how the f*** do we track our goods once out of the US of A? And better yet, who's the Frickn distributer for them in NZ? This is what I know, your goods once brought get sent to Erlanger KY to be sorted, packaged and sent on to you the buyer. You get email updates advising you throughout this process. You get a UPAAA******** tracking number *to track your goods apparently * but once it's been shipped off...Nothing it's in 'Transit'. No way of knowing when it's etc is into nz, who takes over delivery and no way of tracking here in nz. I've talked to NZ Post (International freight distributers) who use Courier Post as their errand boys bit they swear they know nothing. I've spoken to DHL: E-commerce who apparently can track any UPAA parcel leaving the states, turns out this is true only if your using DHL as your delivery boy.

    So, has anyone ever found a way to actually track goods from off the ebay GSC UPAA**? An if so please share. Cheers.

    I didn't have a chance to track my parcel last week - ordered on tuesday night, at my door friday morning, from New York, very impressive.

    Get most of my eBay items shipped via the NZ Post (YouShop) warehouse in Portland. Great tracking and quick delivery. Have done most of my Xmas shopping this way - last parcel will be delivered home tomorrow

    a lot of ebay sellers offer several different methods of shipping if you ask.

    Other options cost more, but if up to date, accurate tracking is a concern for you, pay the extra. Ive had stuff to my door from colorado in 3 days. No fluke, its happened a few times.

    If you take the cheapest shipping option, you get the cheapest service all-round.

    Ha! Funny you should mention that as they've just done the same for me! I'd ordered a shed load of stuff from different suppliers and couldn't reconcile my Visa card statement with having one item still to be sent from the warehouse. They photographed the invoice and opened the box and photographed the contents too. Turns out that the supplier had cocked up and sent the order twice! Good service by NZ Post.

    I've ordered loads of stuff delivered through ebay global shipping - never really bothered with the tracking, though it's possible to get detailed tracking once it clears customs. Not that it matters, because the means it's a day away from your doorstep. I've always been happy with the ebay global shipping system - cheap and fast.

    You gotta be new at this. Dunno why you're talking about the pain of overseas companies and their processes.

    Let's focus on the NZ, which is far closer to being under some ability to be changed. It can take 3 days for a parcel to travel from Auckland Airport to East Tamaki. For one of my recent parcels CourierPost handles the end delivery. NZ Post had the tracking and International Mail Centre the clearance.

    CourierPost didn't have it, NZ Post didn't know where it was and the Mail Centre said it had left them. They outsourced their trucks to... CourierPost. Auckland's mail version of the Bermuda Triangle...

    Yeah, there's a way to do it but I can't remember as it was some time ago. Google knows.

    And don't EVER use it again.

    The US tracking system is only interested in tracking while in the US.

    If you want it tracked the whole way, use a proper freight forwarder.

    When the tracking updates disappear its usually getting billed up at customs, it can sit there for days and its the busy time of the year too.
    I know the number to bump things along but not divulging it here, too many people already know it.
