I ordered from hashuk a few times, never took over 3 days from the day he marked it shipped, usually 2.

Dudes always prompt, I like that in a vendor.

YMMV this week with Xmas postal rush.

My order from Holland was sent 16 days ago and still nothing. No idea what to think, because that's an extremely long time even for Xmas post, but reading some other threads on here, it seems that other countries are having the same problems.

edit: also, my previous order from Holland took 9 days to arrive around the beginning/middle of November, which was a little less than twice as long as it normally took in the past. I suppose that was due to the Xmas rush just starting.

I ordered something from Holland almost 3 weeks ago now and I still haven't received anything. I'm not sure if the postal system over there is astronomically slow (though this was shipped in late November) or if it's being held up somewhere in the UK for some reason. Coming home each weekday to find no goodies is becoming quite depressing, hehe!  :P

I have noticed that a few UK peeps who have purchased stuff from the same vendor have had theirs in 3 days so I'm really not sure why mine, which was ordered before theirs, is still held up...  :(

Sounds like exactly the same boat as me, today was no-show day 18. Nice to know it's not just me though, that makes me feel a bit better.

Other people are talking about shipments within the UK taking longer than a week right now. If other countries are going through similar things, then god knows how many of those our packages are having to get through and how long that's going to take, before it even gets into our little island and into our own chaos.

But you're right, seeing other people's feedback saying that it only took 3 days or it was "fast shipping" is quite disconcerting. I'm hoping some of those have just put that prematurely due to good previous experiences.

Sounds like my experience... my first order from Holland arrived in 3 days, and since then I've made a few orders that took anything up to a week and a half to arrive. But I'm currently waiting for an order I made at the end of November, coming up to a month now and nothing...

Can't recommend Hashuk enough though, usually next day delivery.

It's quite interesting (from those whom have posted here) that 3 of us have all ordered at pretty much the same time and we're still waiting. I'm just baffled at what the hold-up could be. Those who ordered after us are getting theirs pretty quick so it can't be a backlog at customs or anything. I wonder if they got sent back to the fake return address for some reason... :-\

In the UK, waiting on 2 orders one from US and one from Canada...9 working days (+ 2 weekends) and still nothing :(

I thought by preparing early would have received them by now but I grossly underestimated the inefficiency of of Royal Mail. Any other website and I wouldn't bother ordering but who doesn't love XMAS sales...and XMAS sales on drugs = too tempting to resist lol

There seems to be a lot of complaints on delivery times, I think in the future sellers should have earlier cutoff points and have their xmas sales early (late november?) so people can take advantage without having to worry as much about delivery.

TWO weeks ago yesterday I mailed an Airsure Priority with Track and Trace to the US. I finally got a PM this morning it arrived, even though online is said it had been delivered 12 days ago.

One week ago I mailed, regular First Class to someone in the same state. 4 fucking days later it arrived.

So not only is mail obviously slow everywhere, when something gets on the bottom of some big pile, it seems to stay there quite a while.

I have every confidence everyone's package will show.

I've been mailing out seeds for a long time, and go through this exact same fucking stress over late items every single year.

I hear you:) Still waiting for a goody bag of deliciousness to arrive from the North Pole (US to UK) and it has been 7 working day incl and 2 weekends. Hopefully it arrives soon or I will stop believing in Santa:(   Ps. I am not high right now even though it may sound like it:-D

im in the US but i just wanted to add my 2 cents on the matter. i order from an reliable NL vendor about 14 business days ago an still nothing. so it definitely seems like a lot of us are having some REALLY long delays due to the holidays. i knew it would take a bit longer but damn lol. last time i ordered from my same vendor it took 10 business days, but that was in the beginning of november. so its like everyone else keeps saying, the mail is just going butt fuckin slow right now due to the holidays. i have a feeling we will ALL get our goodies right before new years or shortly after, at least i hope lol. if not its gonna be a boring new years. either way it just looks like the mail in ALL countries is going stupid slow. as for the people that have been getting their orders recently without any delay.........im not really sure how that works. it is kinda weird that someone who ordered after me has already received their order. im guessing that those people either just got lucky or they got theirs on time because of the type of mail/package it is. for instance if your order is coming in a small letter envelope then there might not be much delay. but if your waiting on something thats more like a bigger package type like a bubble wrap mailer, then it may take a couple weeks longer that normal. if anyone has had a really long delay and finally received their order like a couple week delay, i would really like to hear about it. dont worry too much guys, i really do feel its the holidays slowing things down.

hey guys, not sure why im on here at christmas, probably sick of the family and childrens movies on lol...

Anyway hashuk order came through in 2 days, amazing i wasnt worried about it.

Holland order (Belgium-uk) has taken almost 3 weeks :(. Anyone who gets their order could you reassure me :p.

Well its the 28th still no Holland bud for me

I ordered on the 12th of Dec


So been a while now, but confident it will turn up eventually, my first order with Holland? 3 days!
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: eras1059 on December 28, 2011, 04:12 pm
It's been over 4 weeks for me and I still haven't received my Holland order, either...  :(
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: christopher on December 28, 2011, 07:15 pm
3 weeks exactly today for me, im not gonna loose hope!

a new years eve without drugs is like mcdonalds without fake beef :(
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: onestopshop on December 28, 2011, 11:39 pm
not sure if i mentioned it already but got a 1 order out of 3 (the other 2 from US) from canada that i ordered around 3 weeks ago...was the least potent thing i ordered but ah well...

here's hoping the rest comes through soon.

oh by the way guys, royal mail have only started resuming deliveries today (wednesday) so if you've been waiting for stuff since the 20th it's just beeen sitting in the same place
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: chioro on December 29, 2011, 05:24 pm
I'm away visiting friends and family until after New Year so I won't know if mine got delivered until I get back, but it would've been a month by now. I'm not expecting it tbh, regardless of the Xmas post chaos, I just have a gut feeling something's happened. :\ It'd be a lovely surprise if I come back to find it though.
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: Rassu322 on December 29, 2011, 07:15 pm
Meant to put SHIPPED on the 12th December

*Sigh* still nothing today, and other people saying they haven't after 4 weeks isn't putting my mind at rest!

Dont know what to do now

Ordering more, seems oxymoron now, even if ordered from within the UK it seems far more logical the original thing thats been in the post since the 12th would arrive before anything else

But in the mean time I'm climbing the fucking walls and I just had to buy a "10 bag" from a fucking chav, £10, the weight? 0.6, zero point fucking 6

This is why I despise common street dealers, stupid fuckers "eye weigh" everything, fuck fucking fuck, the only saving grace is its pretty high quality jack herer.

Mine was sent on the 6th apparently from Holland too and still no sign.

I order from Holland in late November which I thought would be well in time for Christmas. Still no bud :(

Although I suppose there a chance it's still coming with the postal delays, I find it hard to believe. But I will update this if it ever turns up.

It took me about 8 days to receive an order from the UK.
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: eras1059 on December 31, 2011, 02:21 pm
Pretty much 5 weeks now and still nothing. I can't understand why so many people haven't had it delivered yet. Holland hasn't been online in 3 days, either, so I'm still waiting for how to proceed with the resolution. :(
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: Rassu322 on December 31, 2011, 04:47 pm
I've been saying 12th

Just gone back and checked properly according to Holland it was shipped on the 5th

Tomorrow will be Jan 1st.. ouch

Meaning its 5 days off of a month, but there's people been waiting for 5 weeks, So well FUCK a duck.
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: dunk on December 31, 2011, 06:19 pm
I wouldn't expect anything to arrive after that long. I've been ordering stuff online over the christmas period and it's all arrived in less than a week. That's within the UK though so I don't know about internationally.
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: christopher on December 31, 2011, 06:59 pm
Well its from belgium so maybe the post service there are very delayed?

We don't know cos no other sellers post from belgium. And it's strange how many people have the same problem
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: eras1059 on December 31, 2011, 07:13 pm
It could be but it doesn't make any sense as to why some people got it in 3 days. I haven't seen anyone say that they have received their product after 2/3 weeks in the UK.

Happy New Years guys!

It'd be a lot happier with my weed :(

Anyway, Bankholiday monday tomorrow

Tuesday the 3rd post should be coming again

Fuck me I hope I wake up to a package, starting to lose all god damned hope :(
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: eras1059 on January 02, 2012, 03:20 pm
After 5 weeks I got a refund. It most likely got intercepted before it even left Belgium. If it shows up I'll let you all know (and obviously sort out Holland with his due money if it does) but I'm not holding my breath for it anymore.  :(
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: Rassu322 on January 02, 2012, 04:59 pm
I finalized early.......uuuugh really hope it shows up
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: chioro on January 02, 2012, 07:38 pm
Nothing here either. I guess a whole batch must've been intercepted or something for all of ours to have gone missing, which seems nuts, but I can't think of any other explanation. If it ever does show up, then it would literally be the longest shipping time for anything I have ever bought online in over 10 years, so I just don't see it happening.
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: Rassu322 on January 03, 2012, 05:37 pm
3rd Jan now no package, no refund and no reply from vendor

feels bad man
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: chioro on January 03, 2012, 05:48 pm
Holland hasn't been on SR today, relax. He's a stand-up guy, I'm sure he'll sort something out.

If yours shipped on the 12th, then I suppose there may be a very, very slim chance it'll still arrive, but I wouldn't your breath. It'd be better to consider it lost in your mind and maybe wake up to a pleasant surprise than to be continually disappointed day after day.
Title: Re: UK speeds??
Post by: christopher on January 03, 2012, 05:57 pm
If mine's not here by Friday i'm calling it lost, i really hope it does arrive though, holland says he sees some arrive after 3 weeks, and it really has been about that for some of us, minus a week and a bit for Christmas.

It's probably stuck in a bag somewhere in RMs buildings lol, at this time of year delays are the king... Let us know as soon as your package arrives, or you have any GOOD news for us, everyone!!

I'm 100% sure holland will recoup us (a resend would be better than a refund, weed > money atm)

Also waiting on a package from Holland that was sent from Belgium on the 26th of November. I've been away for the holidays since the 17th of December so I can't confirm if it's arrived since then, but it hadn't the day I left. Interesting to see other people reporting the same issue. I certainly trust Holland - the postal services not so much this time of year.

Post by: onestopshop on January 03, 2012, 10:08 pm
WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

just got confirmation from safe house that  purple kush, sour jack, jack herer, white rhino x haze has arrived...was meant to get it as xmas treat so tomo I am getting smoked-the-fuck out :D

order was sent out around the 10th so it got here in little over 3 weeks-ish, and that was from the U.S + canada.

my advice to everyone is that if it takes longer then 4 weeks start filing cases/working out refunds as thats what I was planning to do. just waiting on one more item from canada now...

Mate how much did you order and have you contacted Holland?

Dont want this to turn into a bashing game, Holland is a good guy, shame it cant be said about the post office haha.

Holland said for me to wait a bit, so that is what I'm going to do. Give RM a break, you can take at least a week off the total time since purchase for Christmas and that, RM have only just probably started getting through the backlog. It'll come through by the end of the week hopefully.

I ordered 10g from him in the UK sale, PowerPlant

Indeed I have no intention of bashing Holland, he is a TOP vendor, this is just a hiccup I'm sure, I've sent him a few messages now, He's not replied but then again it says he hasn't signed in in the last 2-3 days.

I've had 20g from him before arrive in 4 days to UK no problem, plus his rep! I'm sure he's going to sort everyone out, its just in the mean time..

I made a thread on it in the rumor mill, for buyers to speculate or give each other some insight into what may of happened
