International orders shipped?

Post by Hardware » Nov 6th 2002, 7:26 am

Anyone know what method AU are using to ship internationally? I'm in the UK, I haven't received a tracking number or anything and I'm hoping to get my set in the 4-5 days listed on the AU site.

Any non-US people out there with tracking numbers?

I haven't either...

I guess they are shipping US first and then international...

Which sucks, because I was order number 3 or 4 !!!

I should have shipped on the first day...

"should" being the operative word. Remember who you are dealing with here.

international orders

Post by Jim » Nov 6th 2002, 4:01 pm

I believe that when brainysmurf posted pictures from his trip to AU's warehouse, he mentioned that regular mail would be used for orders that couldn't be shipped via UPS (i.e. addresses which were PO boxes) and also for international orders. So I wouldn't be surprised if these go out after all the UPS shipments.

Who knows if we'll even get tracking numbers...but hopefully they'll still send confirmation e-mails.

Hey, UPS ships to Canada...

And for not much more than USPS !!!

But anyway, I just hope most of the transit is done in Canada, and not in the US, because Canadian mail is WAY faster than USPS !!!

A letter from one end to the other of Canada usually doesn't take more than 3 or 4 days.

and once the border is crossed, I usually get my packages the very next day !

Try that in the US...

Great - I just called them..

I got the usual message saying that they're all out packing stuff and to please leave a message. Their damn mailbox is full so I can't!

I am getting really pissed off now - all the US customers are getting confirmation and the international customers are getting ignored. I still want a refund of my overcharge too!

Anyone got any ideas at all about how we can actually get some information out of this pisspot company???

I'll be glad if they don't use UPS for shipments to Canada. Everytime I get something from the US sent via UPS, I end up paying an outrageous 'brokerage' fee.

I'm sometimes surprised at how fast Canada Post can be. A couple of weeks ago, I ordered some items from Amazon.ca on a Wednesday evening. The package was delivered by Canada Post on Friday - 2 days later, and shipping was free because the order was for more than $75.

they won't resolve it, but you can threaten to submit your complaint there. it certainly seems that enough customers have been doing the same. seems easier to fix your problem then for AU to deal with these agencies. If they were smart, that is.

Hi all,

I e-mailed a whole load of addresses at anotheruniverse.com and just got the following in response:

God knows what does that "next" mean? Next month? Next year?
