Does the tracking number end in NL? It is on way.
It will change at any time, when it arrives in Netherlands, to The item is at the PostNL sorting center and later to The item is on transport to the country of destination
Probably more “fake news”.
GearBest, like many big merchants, don’t actually store and ship most of the goods themselves. They function more like an umbrella organization for all the smaller companies that actually handle the goods.
So my guess is that nothing has physically been sent yet.
Thanks for this tatasal. This one works. I have a DHL tracking number that was "not found" when I try to track it directly at DHL's website but I was able to track it using the website you posted.
Keeping a shortcut to this website for future tracking : -)
Hmm… there must be some irregularities here, I ordered last february 5, and as of this writing February 20, “the item is pre-advised” is still the status. :person_facepalming: Banggood has faster delivery and more status update.
Oh, I would’t worry much about that ‘pre-advised’ notice, it happens plenty of times, perhaps the typist simply does not update right away, haha.
Sometimes tracking suddenly updates and jumping to ‘dispatched to country of destination’.
I experienced similar notices a lot of times since I started buying online, regardless who the vendor is.
Yeah, they are just shipping info from Unregistered Parcels, invoice shipping record or waybill, which is entirely different, and obviously just that, no tracking information.
USPS even issues shipping label but sometimes does not update promptly even when package already shipped.
i paid extra to get Real tracking number, but all info they provided me is” the item is pre-advised”
meanwhile in banggood. free shipping, real tracking code
All the ones I’ve gotten were real. Sometimes you just have to do your homework in finding out how to track it.
Eg, one recent shipment listed the carrier as “HYTUPS” and its link pointed to www.ups.com. Ummm, no. That site had no idea what the “UP#######” number was, not a clue. (UPS numbers almost always start with “1Z”.)
I raised a ticket, asked whut’s a “HYTUPS”, and got an apology that it wasn’t set up right. The UP-number was in fact the package-ID, and the 9####### number was the real tracking number, which pointed back to Mail Innovations, a carrier that hands off to UPS at some point.
An “R…NL” ID ends up being a PostNL tracking ID. An “R…SG” is Singapore Air. Even though their respective direct sites have, ummm, “issue” with tracking IDs, I found that ‘track.trackingmore.com’ works for both.
International Bridge, an “IB” number, has on its page the “9” number for USPS, which works perfectly.
Anyway, go look at your order, then the tab/link “Track You Shippment”, and you’ll see the link to the carrier and the tracking number for your order. Then do your homework.
