WS wokking these days man... item arrived on wednesday...got it today

[d.d.s.]

^ Nice regarding WS.
My packages reach jetbox since last Monday and were now ship today yes lol. Like hustla said, they're slower but rates are better. Give and take I guess...

[Musical Doc]

I ordered some lanterns from amazon which said 9.6ounces which translated to .6lbs. WS received it today and their weight shows as 3.5lbs. Is this normal? Should I query this and how should I go about it?

[Chimera]

Check Amazon to see the volumetric weight rather than actual weight

1) Does websource charge by volume?
2) Shipping weight and item weight are two different things.

I got an email reply from them last week. They said they haven't had sailings for a while and they'll call me as soon as my packages have moved.

Something is definitely up with them.

I have same issues. Packages reach miami since September last year and others later on. The problem is that their ocean carrier mixed up their BLs and customs wanted them to sort out their customer receipts before allowing them to clear packages. That was since early in January. However, the length of time it's there means a lot of storage fees. They don't care about customers to absorb those fees so they applied for waiver which takes it's time through the relevant approval process. Best to teach out to Mr. Carvalho of Medway Customs Bonded warehouse to follow up on whether bluesky started getting their packages out.

[Chimera]

this thing with bluesky

people goods stored in the container in shade? or in a container in the sun?

Had a package saying delivered on February 3rd but didn't show up under RPM via email or on the online platform. I called them and they said call Amazon, I contacted Amazon and they said the third party seller should be contacted for a refund, contacted them and they said USPS delivered the pacakge. So had to call back RPM Express and let them know the run around on what happened and told them they would have to investigate on their end. I have a feeling that package was stolen by someone at RPM Express in Miami.

Everyone be careful with all these fly by night courier companies, I initially went with them because someone here said they would deliver packages very quickly and it looks like alot of unethical stuff going on there. This is the first time this has ever happened to me on a package and it so happens it coincides with me changing couriers.

Rpm isn't a fly by night company. They are very reliable

Paid $100 USD for it....

[st7]

ouch... mudass RPM

[DMan7]

Yea boi over 12 years now I buying stuff online, this has never happened to me, the only issues I ever got was delays in packages being received but not getting the package at all. That $100 USD gone down the drain.

USPS isn't reliable. I've personally witnessed them drop a package meant for me by the neighbour house, more than once.
I wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
If signature was not required for delivery, the seller needs to refund you as there's no actual evidence it was delivered to the right address

RPM is not fly by night. I've been with them for a long time.
There's never been an issue.

USPS is famous for saying item delivered when in fact it's holed up somewhere in their system.

Once I claimed a refund from Amazon because USPS said the item was delivered but I didn't receive it.
I got the refund only to have the item delivered by USPS weeks later.

[DMan7]

This is frustrating, I keep getting the run around, Amazon says contact 3rd party seller, 3rd party seller contacted and they said USPS delivered item and RPM saying they haven't received it. So all this is going to end up with me having to spend another $100 USD but this time I ain't going with RPM Express if I ever decide to go down that route.

[Chimera]

Such is life.

FedEx has lost packages worth thousands of usd for me.

They were meant to deliver to a skybox company.

They delivered after 5pm on a Friday when the skybox miami office was closed.
Someone claiming to be security at the address signed for the package. They scribbled their name.

Package saying delivered.....when monday came and I tracking it....skybox company say they can't find it.

Not FedEx fault. Not the skybox company fault. Not skybox company miami office fault.

Insurance was only for $1000 usd while the package was worth alot more.

So about 3 months later I got back $1000 usd.

[DMan7]

The difference is the item was delivered at 2PM on a weekday when RPM Express in Miami was opened for business...

[Chimera]

If its usps it would have never been delivered to rpm office.
It would be put in a bin or trailer at the closest usps office for a bulk delivery or collection

If you end up having to spend another $100 for a package you never receive, you have bigger problems than a skybox.

[Chimera]

not sure what going on with amazon/usps these days but alot of their items they are trying to deliver after 4pm when skybox is closed

in the last 2 weeks ive run into problems where packages they try to deliver packages 3 times, friday night, saturday and sunday and they holding it at USPS office for pickup..which is a massive headache

[gastly369]

Fellas anyone else getting the issue on amazon?

Try adding anything to cart and proceed to checkout..

I even tried sending item to family address in florida same issue

[0rb1tz]

Have you ever had a complaint to Amazon on items not received via the mail carrier and got a refund?

It could be the particular seller, or it could be your Amazon account which a bug in the system has flagged due to an "item not delivered" refund. Many addresses with freight forwarding addresses have been blacklisted, or possibly due to fraud. And your account is linked to that shipping address. Just speculation on possible reasons.

The way around this is to send it to an Amazon hub/local Florida post office (to your name c/o your relative's name) and let your relative pick it up. Or create a new Amazon account with a new credit card.

Or try a different seller. Amazon has so many 3rd party sellers located outside the USA now that their routing international mail is creating some unforeseeable error for Amazon's logistics system.

I want to just add to beware of counterfeits, Amazon has not been worth it lately for some items and those items are growing, from shoes to headphones to electronics, especially cosmetics and perfumes. The counterfeit and genuine items are mixed in the same bin with the ASIN and the robots/human sorters cannot tell the difference. I am ending up creating accounts from the manufacturer's website and ordering directly from them. Looks like Brick & Mortar stores are going to make a comeback for the genuine product guarantee while Bezos flies into space with those 3rd party sellers billions.
