Shipments are generally dispatched to destination countries in a few days. We recommend www.17track.net/en Since I struggling with the mother of all botch ups , my work shop might be getting deep cleaned and prepped , and the Lighting T5 PIA returned to the shelf of doom where is deserves to be ! Don’t hold your breath mine was despatched 30th August and tracking stops as soon as it left Turkey. Here we are some 21 days later and nothing more on the tracking and no model yet! It really is not a good system they are using when it takes so long with no up to date tracking as well. I am going to email them later this week after 25 days and ask them if they can look at using another courier such as DPD who I used a long time ago internationally with good prices as well as speedy delivery. My suspicion is that they are not being sent airmail rather surface! Stevepd and Scotsman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them the other day about mine and they replied that Turkish Post is still refusing to accept packages for Canada, Malta and New Zealand. So I'm still waiting for mine to be sent to me.

Paramedic Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 That´s.. Weird! And if you have paid they should find a soloution (another delievery firm). But ask them to send it via me.. And I´ll make sure.. it gets a new home. Christoffer Lindelav, BloorwestSiR, Uncarina and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Re. packages and tracking. When I get stuff sent from Hong Kong via ship, the tracking always show, just the stuff leaving Hong Kong, and then when arriving at the destination country, no middle stops. From Hong Kong to norway it seems to take 60+ days. One time a delivery from China (a tea pot) took 71 days in total.

Landrotten Highlander Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 For your information, I got the same tracking issues - all OK until it left for the UK, then nothing for 7 days, then all of a sudden it came in the UK and cleared custums within hours. The kit was supposed to be delivered on Monday, but I was out so had it redelivered today. Box came in with one corner badly wrinkled and some rattling noise on the inside. Opened the box and noticed some of the 3D printed stuff was dangling inside. Nothing to do with how it was packed, more to do with how it was treated (looks like somebody on the journey needed to let off some steam and my box got in the way). Anyway, tried to align the biggest pieces to get an idea of size, and the bird is big. Need to complete something on the bench ASAP, then will start on this one (all the shelf of Doom stuff will have to wait).

Jack Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Following this thread on and off, but i've rarely seen such a diversity, such a "search" for clarity in progress of transportation of goods, culminating in still not a visual presentation of how and what the kit pertains,...............

All in this thread ok,..... i must have missed the ARC thread, i admit, but why do we use a different source than LSP to have this all in the open? My point is why is it taking such a "detour" to get to the point of actually having a presentation on this kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I think there are some photos in the kit database, I'm on my phone, so can't provide a link at the moment. Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
