Pricebreaker (.nl, .be, .eu, .se and so on) do still the same as before, although
the beginnig was promising. The replays were fasts and I already hope that all went well, but!!
I ordered a lamp from them two and half month ago. The process went following:
PB(11.4.2010)
Confirmation of the order
PB(12.4.2010)
We received your payment and your order is will be processed. When your order is ready for shipping, we will notify you by e-mail.
PB(29.4.2010)
After two weeks they inform that "there is some delay in your order".
me<10.5.2010>
After one month I ask what's up?
PB(10.5.2010)
"The order is already placed with XAL but we are waiting for the delivery to us. Normally next week they can be shipped."
me<24.5.2010>
After one month I ask what's up?
PB(25.5.2010)
We are still waiting for the produtcs you have ordered. Our supplier does his best to deliver as quickly as possible, but unfortunetly the items of XAL are very specials and the delivery time is much longer than normally.
me<07.6.2010>
I have waited already almost two months now for the delivery of my order ...
PB(07.6.2010)
If you want we can send already a part of items. Normally we have the the rest next week.
Finally
PB(15.6.2010)
We will mail your order today with TNT Post. You can check the status of your order on
https://securepostplaza.tntpost.nl/tracktrace
Your barcode is 3SWQUH9002642. This information will be available within 1 or 2 working days. You can contact TNT Post by e-mail:
[email protected]. Please always mention the barcode of your order 3SWQUH9002642, your name and your address.
Thank you for shopping at PriceBreaker.
The tracktrace show, that "15.06.2010 Parcel has been pre-alerted" whatever it means
You can look the tracktrace page in
-
https://tracktrace.tntpostpakketservice ... Basic.aspx
- pick international
- give "3SWQUH9002642"
Then waiting but nothing appears to the tracktrace page
UNTIL
(22.6.2010) "22.06.2010 Addressee not known at this address. Returned to sender"
Indeed in the tracktrace page the Address change to
HANNU KOIVUROVA
ANTWOORDNUMMER 8010
3301WC DORDRECHT
Nederland
OULU
I was amazed, because last october I ordered an lamp from mylamp.nl and they used also TNTpost
(If you want to look the tracktrace page the code is "3SWQUH9002642")
At that time there was not any problems with address, but if we compare these to tracktrace pages There is two difference:
1) type of parcel with mylamp it is international parcel plus with pricebreaker it is basis packet, avp
If you look from the TNTpost's site "Basis Pakket, AVP" is for inside Netherland shipments and the cheapest international option for EU is "Internationaal Pakket Basis".
(see: "
http://www.tntpost.nl/voorthuis/pakketten/" or "
http://www.tntpost.nl/zakelijk/klantenservice/English/")
2) In mylamp shipment parcel undergoes 11 events whereas in pricebreakers shipment parcel undergoes only two. It wait for collection and then it returned. (From where)
PB(24.6.2010) pricebreaker asked:
Can you check you address:
Hannu Koivurova
Rxxxxx 10
90xx0 Oulu
Finland
You address was not coorect according to TNT Finland.
I phoned to TNT Finland and their said that they don't deliver any shipments of TNT Post Netherland only those of TNT Express Netherland. The deliveries of TNT post was handled by other firm in Finland.
I phoned to the other firm and ask if they have some knowledge about the my shipment "3SWQUH9002642". They said that according the track trace the shipment has not ever left from the sender and they have not given any information about the above shipment.
me<24.6.2010> I inform the above facts to the Pricebreaker and that the address is correct.
That's the last I have heard from the pricebreaker and I not have a clue what I should do now.
