So much for International Bridge Shipping

This is the second time I’ve used IB shipping from Gearbest. Yeh, they got it to the US in a hurry BUT now in US the long wait begins ! Has sat in Huntsville, AL for a week now. No updates no nuttin. Really now, and I payed extra for this. I know once it leaves GB it’s roll the dice time so I don’t blame them. Think long before you pay extra for Priority type Service which is actually FIRST CLASS…. 6 days from China to Alabama was great……but the wait is ON now. :expressionless: Crappy delivery service with IB US partner shipper.

ETA: Forgot to add the first time I used them, same story. Stuck around Chicago area for longer than it took to get to US. :expressionless:

Last summer I got a package to my door from GB in 11 days. Currently, I’ve been waiting almost a month. It’s a lottery and I don’t think the shipping method matters much, if at all. At least not in my experience.

I’ve heard horror stories about getting a package stuck in “Chicago Metro”. I cringe anytime I see that in tracking data.

:expressionless: Not one frign update….Still SOS. International Bridge SUXXX in US :expressionless:

Like I said in first post above…Think long before you pay extra for Priority type Service which is actually FIRST CLASS…. And it will be partnered with IB…OH THE HORROR !

I am still waiting on 2 lii 100 chargers I ordered late december, they arrived in Germany on 11. January
2 orders done early january arrived here in less than 2 weeks, so ordered later received first

The odd thing is that one order from same day in dezember ordered arrived here last week, without any progress on tracking, for weeks

A lot of the time for long shipping time is to blame on local customs here in Germany
I had sometimes delivery in 5-10 days from smaller items like batteries or pocket lights

IB shipping took about twice as long as straight up China post => USPS on my recent GB order.

Well, guess what?

The IB item finally shows movement and track update. HELLOOOOO !!!

It’s been sittin somewhere in Alabama for TWENTY DAYS !! 20 DAYS! XX Did I say TWENTY DAYS?? THATS 3 FULL WEEKS ! 7 DAY WEEKS !!

Even sez it’s scheduled for Delivery this Tuesday…hahahah…seeing will be beleiving. Hope it’s still in one piece.

Maybe it’s STILL all a SCAM :open_mouth:

someone pinch me….see if i’m dreamin’ And I paid extra for this… :person_facepalming:
