Thread: LOST in transit : Detroit TruTrac for Salisbury

I've had things turn up a few weeks late, I wouldn't stress yet, hell one freighter had half a car on a pallet for near a week, woman says connote says it's here but I can't find it, till I walk out the back pointing at a half cut, wrapped in plastic with the headlights poking out

Try up to six weeks gone walkabout, and it's happened more than once.....

Those of us that rely on daily parts deliveries have many stories to tell Don, don't stress too much yet.

i brought a mountain bike that was in transit for 2 years............

Toll Priority, Their only priority is you paying your bill......

I have had stuff shipped sea from Germany faster than Toll from Wollongong to Sydney. I watched the truck load in the Gong, drove back to Syd and was checked into their depot down there, being a single truck load of 7m long crates of tube the same truck was bringing it through to Syd. 11 months later was located in Armidale. 13 crates, 600 x 600, 7m long, 1.5ton each sat in a depot stencilled with a Sydney delivery address without question until the depot got a new manager.

Several times now I have sent parcels via (DHL) economy air from Germany to AU. Supposed to be 11-14 days. 3.5 months is the record. 2 months is the average.

I bought two Series front springs and had someone like Fedex helpfully take one from England to here, while the other spring, sent at the same time, did a scenic tour through somewhere like Switzerland and arrived much later, albeit without any souvenirs.

Sending lots of emails and getting on the phone regularly helps a lot.

Then there was my good mate who sent a parcel from Brisbane to the suburb of Kingston, ACT...and of course several months later it arrived...having gone via Kingston...Jamaica
All this just to cheer you up... hope it arrives soon...they don't reduce the bill though, for stress endured in the meantime...

Thanks for all the encouragement fellas, Just had a call from Toll, they found it & will be here Monday, Fingers crossed.

Ive had stuff go to Austria before, Pepole see Australia and read Austria !!

Generally if I can I use Royal Mail airpost post from UK as its quicker than DHL. Never had any problems from USA before via any carrier.
(except for the DHL scam where they send a bill asking for $47.00 quarantine clearance, Im wise to that now)

cheers Don
