Hi HEP,

Please tell me step by step what you do because I have tried with the mail I received from Amazon, as well as their website and also SDA's but nothing comes up, only that it is was picked up on the 13th in Germany and is now in transit.

I go on the Amazon website , go to the ' Your account ' page and select ' open orders ' the order number is on the left hand side and if you click on that it will take you to the page with the latest information. I don't have any open orders at the moment - the last one turned up yesterday - or I'd send a screen dump . You'll probably find more info monday when the order should be local . Yesterady I definately saw ' out on van ' and the order was delivered after a few hours . Now I am worried about and order from marks and Spencers .. my first ever order got here in 3 days prompting me to order more things which haven't arrived and its over a week...
anything is better than last years performance from the Royal Mail ..20 days from Exeter to Parma ..

It's normal for the SDA (SAD) site to be a couple of days behind Amazon's online tracking because it's an Italian company, so they have a monkey who does the data input manually which then needs to be checked by an organ grinder before being passed onto the chubby Capo who signs it off so that the data can actually go online.

Have you also noticed, that unlike DHL or Fedex, when you enter the tracking number on SAD, instead of giving you the info you need straightaway, it launches another window in which you need to confirm that you want to see the info?! This gives enough time for chubby Capo's retarded cousin to press a button that accesses the data.

Anyway, I've ordered lots of stuff from the Amazon UK site and the SAD site appears to have the tracking info only when the parcel has entered Italy, for my parcels it's usually FRANCOLINO DI CARPIANO which I believe is in Milano. Then it's out for delivery the next day.

A good tip is to check the morning before the day Amazon says it's due to be delivered. They are pretty accurate with their estimates although recently the parcels have been out for delivery a day before the Amazon estimate.

Thanks Duffer for your valuable contribution, I was actually expecting some insults
Anyway I can confirm that Francolino di Carpiano is in Milano (it's near the barriere Sud where the motorway (is it the A1 or 14 or something) latches on to the tangenziale. I used to drive past there every day on my way to work at Zibido San Giacomo. It's on an infamous road called "La Binasca" where the prostitutes gather round lit oil drums and wear extremely skimpy clothing even at minus temperatures.....

Such happy days - when I was working
