Nothing is free, everything you buy is paid for. but you didnt buy it from the factory in China. Your contract isnt with Maersk, OOCL etc. You bought in advance from a retailer, thats your only interest in this. I didn't recall seeing a choice of courier when I bought it, and until it is signed for by me, the onus is on the retailer to deliver at their choice, its their risk, not mine. Which means you could reasonably expect, but not insist, on a tracking number at time of despatch from the retailer, but not much more. “paid” “worth” and “value” are misplaced words when it comes to money.. money is a transaction of risk vs reward. Your perception of risk, raises or lowers the price and inturn affects your perception of reward. We might have paid upfront, but the all the risk of the whole project is all on KR until I sign for mine, and you yours etc. We are not risk sharing partners, we don't own the project, we are customers. Our risk is our choice on when to part with cash thats all. So maybe expectations need adjustment, If paying in advance is such a concern, then maybe consider whether this is the right purchasing model for you... if the risk is too great you need superfluous information on events that you have no influence over, to make you feel reassured, perhaps buying after delivery from someone more comfortable with that risk maybe better.

Popular Post KR Models Posted March 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2021 To clear some of this up, no, we aren't divulging the name of the ship. We hope to have all of your tracking information out within a week or two, and we will let everyone know once its left the ship, but until then we all have to be patient and wait, us included. We don't like the waiting any more than anyone here, but that's the circumstances right now. It is coming, we promise you, just hold on. 9 4 5 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
