    I need help tracking dreambox via ems

    Hi, i hope someone can help me. I ordered a 500c from the guy who claims to sell them for 50 quid including delivery (not mentioning any names). I was charged 61 quid for DHL delivery, Sadly the guy decided he would lie and send it via ems anyway, im not happy about this at all.

    Anyway its been a week now but the tracking number given to me 2 days ago upon request isnt working, After confronting this man about the dhl issue he did not answer my e-mails

    Is it common for the ems tracking not to work?

    It could be he sent me the wrong tracking number?

    It could be he has decided to scam me?

    im using the ems china website, parcelforce dont work either

    Does anyone know whats up.

    it usually takes a few days to appear on ems.
    and on parcelforce it takes abit longer.

      my mate ordered one and it didnt show up on ems tracking at all. even after it was delivered to his door.

      i wouldnt worry just yet. give it another week and if its not there by then you can start to get worried.

        I hope this doesnt come back to bite me mate but hes never let me down. Tracking can be a bit hit and miss. Normally only takes 5-7 days with ems from delivery not date of order.

          If it is Peng you are on about I have found him reliable, just ordered an 600c to replace my 500c of him and my tracking number was supplied today but sometimes it does take a few days to come online. use this email addy [email protected] and add him as a messenger buddy.maybe you can get him that way.i see him on sometimes between 7 am - 12am

            Yeh, its a shame but everyone says nothing but positive things of him, he was fine and very friendy until i asked for a tracking number, once i got the ems number i told him we agreed it would be dhl, he bluntley responded saying its too expensive.

            What i dont understand is if it was too expensive what was the extra 11 quid for and why did he agree. I dont care about 11 quid but its a matter of principle. With him there are no guarantees

            I thought id use him cos hes cheaper but becauase he lied he works out the same price as dvbseller, but they have a guarantee.

            Now the childish way he is ignoring me really is p*ssi*g me off

            Is the tracking num u got today working?

            I want to get one thing straight, does he actually only charge 50 quid to most people with delivery.

            I just looked at my paypal and i actually was charged 63 quid (i paid in usd) , so thats 13 extra not 11 for the DHL, in my opinion he should refund that 13back if he only charges 50 for ems.

              yeah i guess its down to how the pound has fell against the dollar. I was a bit iffy about getting the 600c(especially as a guy from here got one fror ?100). anywayz i asked for a money request and it was sent in USD, which worked out nearly ?14 dearer than the ?125 i was quoted.Explained this to him and money request was sent for 125 GBP. If youre gonna buy from him my advice is to only do it GBP.

                He gave me some story about rates of sterling against chinese money and wanted it as usd he would not take gbp, so i had no choice.

                It looks like i have bad luck, but theres nothing much i can do, i just hope it actually arrives, my tracking num is still useless. I know i have been ripped off by 13 pounds now, but as long as i get it ill be happy.

                Thanks for everyones input

                  I got my DM500S from him last Crhistmas and that cost me about ?62 delievered. He will deliver so I wouldn't woory m8. I enquired about buying a dm600 from him but found him to be the same as the likes of dvbseller so didn't bother about buying from him.

                          Just to let everyone know the tracking number now works, good news at last, the package is still at QINGDAO wherever that may be.
