WINIT is NOT carrier but Forwarder

[tee_bee_ay]

As such, sellers should not be allowed by ebay to list WINIT as a 'carrier', or the number they provide as a 'tracking number' as it is clearly not one as it does not track.

WINIT itself provides a page-long "Please Read" describing themselves as a freight forwarder when you go to attempt to track and trace your item from China.

I wonder if ebay can advise or prevent sellers from entering non- carriers as carriers?

Tracking is NOT a requirement of any seller on ebay, unless the estimated delivery window has passed and an INR case has been filed.

there is nothing wrong with that. There is tracking, you have it in front of you so you know where the package is. Would you rather the seller not use winit and there be NO tracking info period? Because China post tracking rarely works and if it does, it doesn't work until it reaches the US. You should just stop buying cheap junk from China if this is that much of an issue for you

When you pay the upgraded rate for tracking, you expect tracking.

Misjen - did you even look at the screenshot or were you just anxious to get a post up?
1)This is NOT trackin. I should not have to explain but will - tracking advises *at the very least* when an item is delivered, but by rights should follow the item out of the originating country and to the border of the receiving country.
WINIT, a FREIGT FORWARDER (like BONGO) has handed off my package to HONG KONG POST, who will provide **zero** tracking as the WINIT explanation states.
2) I paid extra shipping for tracking and have a right to expect it. Wouldn't you?
3)This is an ONGOING issue and other people have experienced this trouble with sellers using WINIT. I originally posted on that thread this very morning to register my additional concern, but
**I was asked by ebay support to start a new thread if it was an ongoing issue**, and they archived the other. Go visit it.
Nothing gets resolved if people don't say anything, and this problem with WINIT has been a concern since at least 2015.

Excuse me, this is the 2-page thread I replied to this morning:

*mid 2016, not 2015. Wish I could edit, but the 3 dots do not show me that option 😔

[missjen831]

Did you even look at your screen shot? It clearly shows the tracking, at the bottom.

[tee_bee_ay]

Misjen, you may be misreading. Or you see sommething I do nor? The large number in the tracking square at the top is what I provided, given by my seller. Below that are the results of my tracking attempt, the same two numbers coming back identified as both order and tracking number. If you'll notice, the results, or tracking information' goes from latest date (top 20th) to earliest date ( bottom, 18th)), with the 20th showing that winit has passed it on to Hong Kong Post, where it will be no longer trackable - it is not and comes up as unknown and never received, I have tried. I was not surprised because it did say that hong kong post was going to be a non-trackable service but tried anyway since this is the only sort of number I received from the seller. Je suis tres desole.

If you've paid extra for tracking, not getting it is robbing you of those extra funds period.
I'm currently having the same issue and the tracking information matches yours... How long did it take for you to get your ordered item?

[tee_bee_ay]

I believe in my case it was at least 2.5 months, I had given up on it and got a refund, and was shocked as ol' heck to see it in the mail.

I sincerely hope you don't experience such a delay!

[tigran.avetyan]

be carrefuly,now Winnit began provide not only Hong Kong Post parcells from China Mainland.It also provide some other Carrier (China post,Malaysia Post and etc)shipment.Additional Tracking number You can find after tracking on Winnit Website..

[tigran.avetyan]

Normaly Winit provided HK Post ordinary shipment,but now began provide other Posts(China,Malaysia,maybe also other).for those case delivery time could prolong till 60 and even more.Just check adidtional tracking number on winit tracking website and tracking new number on his original website.

[antonia4263]

but when they give you one date (3-4 days) in description then when you buy then it is couple weeks later,if you get it at all is just wrong. It was a Samsung as card

And of course you are going to do every thing you can to pay for the item assuming you are keeping it.

Right?
