should Shipping take 2 WEEKS AND 3 DAYS!!!

adam02 · 03-11-2006, 06:53 AM

a guy on these forums, who is one of top most posters here, called PZEROFGH, ordered me the following from Newegg.

Opteron 165
WinXP PRO
G.skill DDR500
Arctic silver 5

He said he sent these items on the 22nd of Feb. its now 11th march. i believe he's from Boston mass.

I live in nothern Ireland, and he said he sent them with some sort of USPS Airmail, that cost a total of $60.

Should it take so long for this to ship?

Oh and for those of you who are from UK or whoever may know this. a British mail company called "Royal mail" currently had a mail strike in Belfast city (Northern ireland capital) i believe anything that comes into northern ireland comes through belfast.

Also he got these items for my B'day so he wrapped them up so i wouldnt pay VAT as it is a gift.

Thanks, Adam.

I really hope he sent it registered and insured mail

Otherwise you're screwed!

International Shipping is really sketchy. I've sent several packages to brazilian and some of them take up to 30 days or more.

PZERO seems like a legit person. He's help a lot of people in the same way. I'm not sure he's stiffing you, but i'm hoping he used insured and trackable shipping.

yes just recently he's told me he has a tracking number for the package, so thats good news.
