actually you CANT track the number - it will show up at yor house long before it ever gets into your local tracking database (thats just the way EMS works - the packages go faster than the paperwork for some reason)

you can TRY to check your local EMS tracking website (post office tracking page) - but in the last hundred shipments NOBODY has ever seen it online until AFTER it arrived!

you can also punch the number into the "ÎÒÑËÅÆÈÂÀÍÈÅ:" space on the front page of http://garantpost.ru - but that doesnt track it any further than the RUSSIAN border...

Are there any HOLIDAYS happening there? Thats a bit longer than our shipper says it should take (they guarantee delivery within SEVEN days!)...

Have you tried your local EMS tracker? I will ask Shamray to enquire about it at our end...

The latest entry says it left the Moscow sorting center November 1st!! (meaning, it went on the AIRPLANE...)

well, i just did a little checking and it seems the DELIVERY AGENT for Netherlands EMS is http://www.tntpost.com/ (formerly Royal TPG Post!)

see http://www.ems.coop/site/Main.php?Oid=273#delagent

Perhaps the fact that The Netherlands is now NOT a member of the EMS Cooperative is slowing things down a bit... (maybe its a recent change?)

Anyway, i suggest you contact TNTPOST directly:

Q.A.Nguyen



Thanks Michael, for being such a great help. Well I found out about TNTPOST too just like you did and the main problem is that they use different formats for tracking, they work by the 'barcode' system, also 13 digits but not similar to the ones EMS is using. Also, it seems, that they only have the trackingservice available if YOU are the one sending te package, so, just outgoing packages and not inbound packages. Well I've just emailed them about this whole issue and they're gonna email me back ASAP.
Well, in the meantime, I guess waiting is all we can do :)

well, Shamray managed to find out what FLIGHT it went out on... '555-CBV 7055 2473', November 2nd (an SU-257 cargo plane, to be exact!)

I think thats about as far as we can track it from here...

Q.A.Nguyen



Status Update: We'll I've called TNT-post, they did NOT have the tracking number in their system so they did never recieve it. Then they gave me a different phone number of the department that recieves all the packages. This department has also NOT recieved the package and gave me another phone number to the TNT main office. Those guys did not even know what I was talking about and gave me another number, the direct number to EMS.
They won't answer the phone right now so I'm gonna try and get ahold of them.

Damn bureaucracy:(

Q.A.Nguyen



Well, that's one thing we don't have to worry about anymore :) The eagle has landed at least. I'm trying to get ahold of the EMS service here but they're not answering the phone so that's not a lot of help at the moment. I hope Garantpost can clarify some things since they're the ones with contracts with the local services. Also, very peculiar that TNTPOST doesn't have anything on the package.

Well, we'll keep trying and I hope garantpost can be of any assistance soon.

Q.A.Nguyen



ok, update. I've tried all phone numbers of the EMS services here and there's no trace of my package to be found. They say as soon as the plane has landed and the package has been unloaded the next step is scanning of the package. Then the russian tracking number is transformed into a new tracking number which will be traceable. The problem is however. The package has never been scanned, meaning it's not in the Netherlands and even they cannot tell me where it is. They assured me that there is no way that IF the package has touched the ground it could be missed and therefor not scanned. So, according to the EMS service here, the package is NOT in the Netherlands. And they advised me to contact the sender to start an investigation.
