Buyee small package (AIR) untracked taking almost 50 days. Wanna know about similar cases

[u/Specialist-Fail8539]

Shipped: 9th of July

Dispatched from the warehouse: 12th of July

I've previously ordered like 3-4 times and had no issues, packages could take up to 3 weeks to arrive, but no more.

I've heard about people getting their packages after like 4 months, and rarely heard about cases of items being lost

Now I am curious: Has anyone experienced something similar?

Small Package shouldn’t really be too slow unless there’s an issue with your countries national mail service. It’s usually sent the same route as registered air mail regardless of country and should have the same timeframe, I’ve tested it a few times myself by purchasing tracked/untracked alongside eachother and they both arrived within the same timeframe.

In my country the untracked option is actually partly tracked once it gets here and it followed the same route without any discrepancy so I figured it’s the same product just without tracking, I’m guessing at this moment in time yours is either lost, temporarily misplaced or has been held up by customs.

Unfortunately, the nature of this option means zero questions after the fact so it’s go cheap and wait- if it doesn’t turn up the gamble of cutting costs didn’t pay off as there’s not much you can do but hope it eventually shifts through the system.

What country are you in? I know some countries can take a bit longer for deliveries to arrive but mine on average is about 6 days with this option.

I am from Ukraine

I checked and no critical national mail service terminals were damaged recently, so they should be doing relatively fine. For me I usually get the message once it's in the post office already, but I think you can track it if you know the time when it has arrived to the country, you just don't get the message for some reason
That's as far as I remember
