chris.watson Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I bought a jd forager from the states and it arrived with me in 9 days, fully tracked. Parcel flights come in every night from Germany and Holland into stansted airport (I know this as I used to work there) start having a word with your sellers Mike/Justin, they may have some info for you as to where your orders are.

SPN Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 emailed them last Thursday..Still waiting for an answer.. TractorConnection ..what are they like??? Has any member dealt with them before?? Tractor Connection is run by Martin Smits, who would be considered Royalty in the European Farm Model scene. Have you checked the tracking reference with the freight company? I ordered some models from Universmini last Monday, shipped on Tuesday, the tracking reference shows them sitting in Portlaoise since Friday, hopefully turn up at home tomorrow.

Niels Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Postage can be anything. I order regularly from the UK. Sometimes parcels arrive within 3 days. Sometimes it takes 2 weeks or more. Worst I had to wait for was six weeks! Item did appear though in the end. I'm more worried about the COST of postage. The service is terrible to say the least, yet the price you get charged is outrageous. Have just come back from the States and visited the Outback Toys over there. Some items being shipped home: Ertl Massey Ferguson 1805 Ertl John Deere 7520 Diesel NFTS model Ertl Case IH Quadtrac 620 Ertl Case IH Quadtrac 450 Rowtrac Ertl Steiger Cougar Series III Ertl John Deere 8960 All articulated tractors and all 1/32 scale. Don't know yet what postage cost + taxes will be but i'm guessing € 75-100 . Good thing the models were cheap(ish). US is nice but models mainly 1/16 and 1/64. Not much there for 1/32 collectors sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 These came through the post (pretty quickly). The Tiger/Pronto combination is limited to 100 pieces and the same price as the standard version So I had to have a couple. I love the little Pronto drills, loads of detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to worry you mate, but of all the parcel carriers I have had dealings with, these are the worst.only this week, we had some dog food delivered by them ordered online. The road has been shut all week past the farm Due to roadworks. Yodel sent a text saying they had delivered the parcel. We found it 1 mile up the road neatly placed by the road closed sign!!! If we hadn't gone looking, it would have been picked up by someone else. Fingers crossed yours turns up mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerryD Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Received a Britains John Deere 840i Sprayer and a set of Britains Bales 42834, that I didn't have. Justin, I too am going through the same waiting game. Ordered 2 Schucco 724 Fendts nearly 3 weeks ago and still waiting on them. Seller was chasing up Royal Mail last week, but not tracked that I am aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 surely you guys must know what postal service you are buying? if its tracked you should also have the tracking number as well as the seller,so you can track where the parcel is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryD Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I paid for the sellers 3-5 day delivery, so suppose depends on what service they use. Got dispatch email, nothing else with indication of who they were sending it with. I have had free delivery from a seller on Amazon once, it turned up with signed for next day delivery at £8, don't know how they made money on that.

justy 46 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Its a pain Gerard.. But I have done all I can..& I also got a dispatch Email telling me it was dispatched with PostNL..
