You mean Pitnry Bowes. It's the company ebay use for the Global shipping program! >.< It's a disaster using the Global shipping program. Puts me off buying from US sellers when they have that on their listing! >.< I ordered a Zelda pocket watch off a seller. Item was sent via GSP and a few days later it was "delivered" according to my tracking. Needless to say I didn't have the item. I complained to ebay and expressed my dissatisfaction with the GSP service and they refunded me and the seller got to keep his money too. About a month later, Yodel delivered the item to me. It was in a jiffy bag in the courier's car for a while. Must have been under the seat or something. >.< Useless.

Also, Pitney Bowes unpack and repack the package before shipping it to you. Expect your Amiibo to come in a Jiffybag. >.< As Knight said, ask somebody from the forum if they could forward for you in future. >.< It avoids all kind of headache and there are plenty of approved members here.

No problem. I think there was a post on the forum about all this too. Lol I'll try find it.

I would recommend contacting Yodel CS and checking whether they have any packages for your address. They can soon inform you of whether they have any or are advised of any coming in. 3 weeks is an awfully long time for something to be coming via the GSP. The last item I had come through it was here within 7 days... I suggest giving them a call.

Here's the thread I mentioned before:
