<title>Shipping 101: A guide for the perplexed</title><link>http://www.priceusa.com.au/forum/read.php?1,3456,3456#msg-3456</link><description><![CDATA[ Shipping is complex (I wish it wasn't). I have written a short guide on my news page about some of the common issues that can arise. I really encourage everyone to read it as having an understanding of some of these issues can save you a lot of money. The guide can be found here [<a href="http://www.priceusa.com.au/news/?p=317" rel="nofollow">www.priceusa.com.au</a>]]]></description>

<title>Detailed Inspection Service Changes</title><link>http://www.priceusa.com.au/forum/read.php?1,3454,3454#msg-3454</link><description><![CDATA[ As is explained on my FAQ page it is very difficult for my US partners to know if the store has sent the correct item(s) or not. They do make a basic inspection of the items, but because of the huge range of orders we get it is impossible to know if all items received are complete and correct. Because of this we are not able to guarantee that your order is complete and correct unless you choose the optional detailed inspection service. While we have offered the detailed inspection service for sometime now and it works very well, the problem seems to be that many people do not realise that it exists and so don't choose it.<br /><br />To solve this problem I have decided to make the inspection service an &quot;opt out&quot; rather than &quot;opt in&quot; service for orders that I think will be complex, expensive, and/or difficult for my US partners to detect problems when doing a basic inspection. You will still have the option to remove the detailed inspection service if you wish, but you will need to let me know that don't want it and that you want to take the risk that the store might make a mistake.]]></description>

It is still fine to order normal rebook shoes, just not the customised ones. We are sorry about this, but until Rebook decides to implement a service that can actually make the shoes ordered we all think this is for the best.]]></description>

<title>Late Consolidation</title><link>http://www.priceusa.com.au/forum/read.php?1,3256,3256#msg-3256</link><description><![CDATA[ One request we get a lot of is for people to add to an order that has already been placed by my US partner. Our policy has been to not allow this as my US partners only have very limited storage space and in the past allowing these late consolidations caused them a big problem with storage. After a lot of discussion they we decided that they will allow late consolidations, but for an extra $5 fee. They hope that this fee will balance the extra storage issues against our desire to be as helpful as possible. There is no extra fee if the orders are consolidated before the first order is placed.]]></description>

<title>Ordering from Zara</title><link>http://www.priceusa.com.au/forum/read.php?1,2866,2866#msg-2866</link><description><![CDATA[ My US partners can now order from Zara, but it is complicated. All payment processing is down out of Ireland so that this means that my US partners get charged an extra fee on their credit cards. Because of this they have have introduced a new fee of 5% for all Zara orders. This fee just applies to the item prices, not the shipping to Australia or elsewhere.<br /><br />I should mention that Zara does not do exchanges, only returns. This means if you want to swap something over you need to get it back to my US partner within 21 days of it being shipped from Zara so that my partners have time to return the item. In practice this means that unless you chose express shipping there will not be time to return items so choose carefully :)]]></description>

Here in the USA, Amazon has stated for a few weeks now that orders placed that day will be delivered the week of Christmas. At the time of ordering, Amazon stated a 4-6 or 6-8 week delay in delivery, depending on when the orders were placed. Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question since I don't work for Amazon. However, I can say that people and stores everywhere in the USA are frustrated with Amazon for the long delays and the fact that these paperwhites still are not available in stores here. The delay has been quite unfortunate, but completely out of my control.<br /><br />Lindsay<br />USA partner]]></description>
