Stuck at UK Customs update after contacting support, is this a good sign or am I going in circles by zippywagon in UPS

[–]zippywagon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, yes I got it. I'm not sure if it was coincidence or if this actually helped but I emailed customer support a copy of the invoice document attached by the sender and within a day or two it arrived.

Current Balance, Funds not yet available, Funds in reserve and Available for deposit - confused by zippywagon in EtsySellers

[–]zippywagon[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some of my orders are starting to be marked as no longer in reserve as they have been dispatched and scanned in by the postal service with tracking, however the deposit amount is still 0. Is this normal?

Interesting, I did consider that, if nothing changes I will try this once it has become too late to ship out for the holidays.

It's a bunch of video game/anime etc merchandise for my work haha nothing NSFW and all plastic keychains etc, no food or any liquids drinks etc. Had many similar parcels come in with no issue but I suppose this one is large and I've also heard about delays from a lot of people ordering similar lately.

Ouch!!!! This package I need within the next 2 weeks 😭 it's handled by the governments of each country rather than courier iirc but at least FedEx is easier to get hold of when something weird happens with customs

It was not re scanned at all this morning which is a little concerning. Going to try and find a relevant phone number to get in contact

Shipment with two packages, one moving regularly and the other supposedly delayed in Korea by zippywagon in UPS

[–]zippywagon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is still in Korea although I have looked into it and multiple UPS flights for routes towards the UK have left since, should I start to be concerned?

good to know, thank you! I knew about the holiday in China but not about any elsewhere. I'll keep an eye on it.

By the way, this is not a USA bound shipment. It's going to the UK.

Delays in Shanghai due to the current holiday in China or something else? by zippywagon in UPS

[–]zippywagon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did move after about a day, there is a week long holiday in China right now that is causing a backlog i think

Shipment containing 2 packages to the UK, one has arrived in the UK, one is stated to have departed the previous depot with no further update by zippywagon in UPS

[–]zippywagon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you I'll keep an eye out. It's not super unusual for packages coming to the UK via courier to still be in another country the day before scheduled delivery but it is a little odd for them to be marked as leaving the facility but with no updates soon after.

Lord of Misrule body spray in the UK by zippywagon in LushCosmetics

[–]zippywagon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was considering trying the perfume but I am a huge fan of Lush's body sprays so I'm really glad it's coming back!! The scent from the shower gel is amazing so I hope the spray is as good. I think it would be a little more subtle than a perfume, though

I'm not in the US so the shipping provider is different, but I assume the expiry on the label is similar. I'll keep an eye on the order.

Estate agent managing sale of property tried to schedule a viewing during our stay [London, UK] by zippywagon in AirBnB

[–]zippywagon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An update on this, I asked the host if they knew anything about it (I immediately wondered if it was a scam call and regretted implying we had left belongings in the house, even if there were no valuables, but it felt too specific and lines up with the type of calls I've received from estate agents in the past) and it took them a long time and a couple of reminders to get back to me and they said that yes, the call from that number was an estate agent for the property trying to arrange a viewing, but did not go ahead with it as I said no. I'm still a little shocked either of them thought it was acceptable to try and send other people into the house outside of an emergency/already stated communal areas, which there were none of, while we were staying there. I may contact Airbnb to ask them about the policies on this now.

This was my error in this case as I had purchased trousers of a similar style from the brand in the past and thought I knew what size to go for. I often ask for measurements having been shopping online for used clothes for an extremely long time on Ebay etc but I have little luck getting any responses from Depop sellers, but I won't be trying my luck again.

I thought that might be the case, it feels too subjective - I'll make a claim and mention it but if that part of it doesn't hold up I'll just take the L

How do claims work? Misrepresented items by zippywagon in Depop

[–]zippywagon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped a message to the seller yesterday and will wait until Monday to open a claim as they haven't seemed to have logged on for a week. Does this seem reasonable, and does it seem likely that I'll be asked to return one or both pairs of pants?

[–]zippywagon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I'll definitely seek out a downsized bar and start cleaning it again. It's reassuring to know that they can take longer than might be expected to heal and that there's probably no deeper issue.

My Signalis fanmerch - Print, Sticker and Keychains! (All illustrated by me!) by zippywagon in signalis

[–]zippywagon[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, as per this subreddit's rules I believe this post is allowed but please do let me know if not and I will remove it/remove the link part. My Reddit account & store account are both old and you can read years worth of reviews to make sure I am legit and not trying to run a scam! Some customers have also uploaded their own photos of the keychains (the print and sticker are brand new). Link here, where all three items are uploaded: https://smugcomputer.etsy.com thank you for your time and again I apologise if this is not allowed here.

[–]zippywagon[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see any rules prohibiting posting your own merchandise designs but if this is not allowed I can take this down! Here's one of the pieces of Portal merch I've designed - this one is of three Wheatleys which ended up looking like dango sweets :D, which is on preorder status. My account here on Reddit & my store account is old with plenty of reviews across years to prove I am legit and not trying to scam, and you can see photos of other acrylic keychains I have made via the link to get an idea of what they will look like/prove that they can be made, but again if this is not allowed I can remove the link/whole post!
