Why Must ColiPoste Be So Slooooooow

[mEdwards]

I preordered the first reinforcement sets back in early July hoping to get them as soon as possible after their release. I received an email from the store that I purchased them from on July 31st that my order had shipped! Awesome! But its being shipped by ColiPoste and as far as I can see thanks to their nifty tracking system that it still hasn't left Europe!! WTF!!

I've never had to wait so long for something to ship before. Anybody else having similar problems...or do they just hate me?

The "nifty tracking system" is just as lousy as USPS's. It happens to me all the time to stop getting updates on the shipment status once it's left Europe. It might very well be at your local distribution center already, and the coliposte update will occur after you actually receive your reinforcements.

Keep hope, if it shipped on the 31st it's actually nowhere close to a long wait yet

Having had previous (bad) experience in the past, ask the seller to kindly complain about it, since a month is way over the contractual delivery delay he has with la poste.

It's only been a 9 or 10 days. But just checking the tracking to see that it hasn't updated and that it was still some where in Europe was kind of disheartening if only because I really want my minis.

That happens with packages heading into the US from Canada.  They only track it as far as they can which is generally the border.  Once it get's into the US, it's no longer actually tracked.

same as some post out of the UK, they track it in the uk and thats it, so it could be in the counrty now.

Also we've had a postal strike, dont know if the has helped it or not.
