FW16 Batch 10 Guild

I have the feeling either FedEx is trying to fool me, or their tracking system is total crap.
Regarding to tracking, my packet is back to china, again.

Route so far:
Taiwan
Philipines
China
France
China
Germany (200km/125mi away from destination)
France
China

destination would be Germany

Yup, I’m in the same boat - back in China…
Destination Belgium

Mine is also showing up in China. Destination is Belgium as well. I’m hoping / guessing this is just an issue with the FedEx tracker. However, since it’s the weekend I guess it will be stuck until Sunday night. Still hoping for a Monday delivery :grimacing:.

Must be an error with FedEx tracking.
FedEx would earn no money if they would ship a paket serval times between asia and europe.

I guess you can just ignore all entrys that would be some sort of flying back to where it came from.

Confusing, frustrating.

Maybe these are messages from customs controls to each other? However, the information about framework shipment tracking and fedex shipment tracking are the same. Has anyone checked Guild 9 to see if there was something like that there? My delivery date remains Tuesday, that would be fine with me (Germany).

Is there a Region in Belgium called China:-)

other options:

-red traffic light in the sky over Cologne (the traffic light is to blame)

-Framework recall

Sorry, I’m bored right now

We do have a China-town in Antwerp :sweat_smile:

If tracking would be true, my framework would have flown 4 times over my head, right now

I live verry close to a german university with a verry high percentage of chinese students

We have a Street that is called “England” (Nordstrand) and another one called “Kotzenbüll” (Eiderstedt) :slight_smile:

I was talking about your tracking logs in the batch 13 thread with Jan van Humbeek and I think, the additional positions may indeed be informations being sent between different hubs and customs.

or is this the message from the empty container on the way back?

I’ve heard from others that it could be something related to digital customs clearance, don’t quite remember where specifically it was said though, nor can confirm that this is the case here.

I don’t think so, nobody cares about the empty containers :laughing:

What I would have thought, that the package might have been damaged while being handled, so it got sent back. But if you look closely, the entries appear before the packets are leaving a place.

Talk about sustainable and ecofriendly shipping XD – most likely problem on the software side of fedex ig?

Estimated delivery date
04/23/24 before 6:00 p.m
Probably between:
08:10 - 12:10

If the container with the laptops flew on a Boeing, then the door may have collapsed over Cologne. I would check to see if there are a lot of FedEx packages lying around.

can you fly from Paris to Guangzhou by plane in 5 hours? :wink: :globe_with_meridians:

I had ordered an SSD (not from framework) for the FW16 and it was supposed to be delivered with DPD (deutscher Paket Dienst “German parcel service”). DPD was supposed to leave it at my carport and I received a message about a successful delivery. But there was nothing to see in the carport… Asked neighbors, there was nothing in the mailbox and then you get nervous: was the package stolen? Checked the delivery history again and the delivery was marked as successful. The shop also has tracking: delivered. Called the hotline from DPD and a machine asked for the tracking number and then said that no one was encountered and that a new attempt should be made the next day (what was successful).

It’s not funny, actually, but it’s something like this that happens every day. I assume FW16 delivery will be on Tuesday 04.23.2024 (as further stated by fedex).

Here’s my shipping progress as shown at Guangzhou time of Saturday 9:00 PM. I’d been glancing at the headline higher up the screen, that arrival time was Monday and starting to make plans to be home to receive it. Then I looked more closely and noticed that the “Scheduled Delivery Date” is “Monday 29/4/24 before 6:00 PM”, over a week away! I’m hoping that’s their worst case scenario rather than a likely date.

I’d initially assumed that it had been put on a flight from Guangzhou to it’s next point, but it now seems as though it’s still sitting there, as flight time from there all the way to Melbourne is less than 10 hours, but no movement has been recorded.

Laptop arrived for me yesterday. Super fast shipping! I live in Michigan, US.

Got Ubuntu 24.04 Beta running on it without a hitch.

Also applied my DBrand skin. Didn’t expect it to match the texture of the hinge, but the matte black skin does!

I used one of the stickers that came with the laptop to put on the logo area so that you can still easily identify the brand
