Shipping methods and tracking

Post by ad2am »

I see that orders are typically sent Swiss Post Priority.

Are there tracking numbers available for packages that are sent using that method? Are shipping notifications/tracking numbers (if they exist) typically sent to customers as packages are mailed?

I know that SwissMicros is a smaller operation, and I know Amazon-level controls over shipping isn't possible--I'm just wondering what the normal process is.

no tracking number available, because it costs additionally CHF6 and is no insurance. It might help in some countries with bad postal service like Russia and some others ...

I am anxiously awaiting delivery of the DM42. I am curious when others in the US have received theirs. I am currently in California.

That's strange, your's went out last week on Monday as most others too, and it should have arrived by now already.
Let's discuss the options via email, OK?

My unit was delivered in the LA County area on 5/31. Are you outside one of the big cities? If so, I could see how it'd take another day or two for them to arrive.

Swiss Post says that Priority Mail to the US usually takes 4-7 working days to deliver, but that's not guaranteed. Yesterday was 7 days; today would be the 8th working day, so it's still only slightly outside the standard.

I'm lonely and empty handed here in Houston as well. I've developed a rather severe tick over my right eye from the anxiety of it all.

Michael, I'll drop you an email.

for comparison: 10 days order-to-delivery Zurich to Austin; and 6 days as per postal markings.
