Does online tracking make the wait better or worse...?

Day 4 of Fasttech order ... Tracking just says .. Order received ....

[joehel]

I don't even know what the fasttech tracking thing means to be honest. I ordered on 14th August, was "shipped" on 16th August and the current status is "Despatched to overseas (Country code: GB)" on 22nd August. Still no sign of it LOL!

I think they just guess !!

And now in Vienna (I'm sure the rest of you don't give a damn, but I'm loving this!)

Must be coming by train and not airmail -- Just think it has been through so many countries it will be quite special and well travelled when it arrives.
Be interesting what is next, probably Stuttgart in Germany, ULM or Munich maybe. Then Paris and next the UK.

Mine now says ready for shipping, status: packaging. It's a bit like being a kid waiting for Xmas!

Mine also says dispatched to GB and no change for a couple of days either

The Magical Mystery Tour continues... We have left Vienna. Where next

I had something go from Spain too France too Germany too Austria and then back too Germany - France - UK

I think they like taking the scenic route

spikus and all others who are new to buying from Chinese vendors .... your package WILL arrive within a 10 -14 day time frame after it has been dispatched whether you stress out about it and track it every day or chill and wait for the postie ringing the doorbell. I know which I prefer.

Ummmm, it may be a little longer than that (my order placed 14th Aug, despatched 16th Aug, apparently despatched to GB 22nd Aug, STILL not received) but I agree you have to learn to chill out with the Chinese deliveries. It's like a present when it arrives. You ordered it so long ago it was a whole other paypacket and you'd almost forgotten it was coming...

joehel Perhaps I should clarify .... the 10 - 14 day time frame does not include weekends in China, Sundays (UK) and Public holidays (China and UK).

Nurmberg? Looks like it is coming by road then, not train, so next stop somewhere like Frankfurt and then Belgium for the ports. Looks like you will not be going to Paris afterall.
