Ordered a portable amp from eBay on the 15th of February, but I still haven't received it yet.

I believe it takes 10 - 14 days for a parcel to reach, since I'm not using the expedited service. I haven't got any note from customs about it being detained, too..

Anyway, still hoping it'll come tomorrow, but then I wondered: perhaps the postman came to my residence, but I wasn't around to pick it up?

I haven't received any "card" asking me to collect the package either.

So I'm wondering: If I wasn't around when the postman came to deliver the item, what will happen to it? What can I do to get it?


The exact postage method I used is "USPS First Class Mail International".


I've bought a pair of earphones online before, but I used a trackable shipping method, and it arrived fast and safely. This one is a cheaper shipping method, though, and the tracking isn't updated, so I don't know.


Any information will help. biggrin.gif

Did the ebay counterpart provided you the tracking reference? It would be easy if you get hold of seller and grab the info on shipping agent..

there will be no tracking number provided with first class airmail.
priority took about 10 days to reach, so first class is longer.

Yeah.. I contacted the seller, and he said to wait till the 16th of March, and let him know if it still hasn't arrived by then.


Argh, I really hope they didn't just chuck my parcel on the roadside when I wasn't around. sleep.gif
