Description
WOW I actually made 32 orders from this site. A site on FB marketplace advertised overstocked items clearing out from Amazon in a warehouse. There was no mention of where it was coming from. I believed it was in USA, however after items were shipped I found out it was shipped from China. ° I was given a tracking number for both orders and both of them. Unfortunately, I didn't know anything about tracking numbers as I have now found out. Re: amount of letters and numbers pertaining to different countries and carriers. The tracking sites were Le Tracking and Track 718. Both sites gave me information from shipping to USA where it was USPS that took over and then into Canada where I now understand is where Canada Post takes over. However, it took almost a month before it showed the pkg was delivered. I didn't get that info until 5 days after delivery and of course I did not receive delivery. I notified Canada Post and all I was told is that they could not track with that tracking number. I am still undecided about all this because after much research and many phone calls I have the info that an international pkg shipped with tracking number can be tracked or used by USPS and Canada Post but they tell me only their tracking numbers can be tracked. So I do not quite understand as if shipped from another country it will have their number which should work all the way through. Just as if shipped from Canada it will be tracked with that number. I did do more research and I know it's a scam as there is no more website that I can get to and let tracking is supposedly a scam also. The person on email named Sini, does respond but says 1 pkg delivered and the 2nd pkg is not found in any tracking. Lol. This Sini does not respond to any queries about that pkg. This person now says that they incurred much cost also and is willing to refund 10%. Lol. So anyways , I have never been scammed before as I usually do much research on these online shopping sites. I am a researcher. However, I took it for granted that because it was an ad on FB marketplace that it would be safe. I will now be posting on this scam everywhere I can on FB marketplace and other social media. Thank you
