I don’t recall ever seeing the destination when tracking a payment. I just see ‘ready for pickup’ or whatever it is. I probably just never noticed though.
How did you pay for it? In person? Do you have the actual paperwork? It should say where it’s “Available In” and show the country. Does it match where you were supposed to send it?

Hey Shadow,
Yes, I went in person since when I tried over the web it was subsequently refused by the agent the web advised me to call for final authorization. I was using a friend’s credit card (with permission) and I guess the agent felt something fishy was going on. That would have been way more convenient!! Instead I dragged my bud to a Western Union office in a Wal-Mart store where they took about 1/2 hour to figure out how to do it. The first girl was unable and then the supervisor “succeeded” after some difficulty.
I have a copy of the original transfer form which was completed by me and it had all the right information. When I called Western Union yesterday to confirm after being advised by the online source that they were unable to get funds due to wrong country designation, WU automated services advised me that $400 Cdn was awaiting pickup in Canada?? However when I talked to a live agent, he confirmed that the $400 US was awaiting pickup in the correct country I had selected.
I got up early this morning because I thought while lying in bed that maybe I had given my online source the wrong control number. So I checked right away this am and the number I gave them was correct. I would hate for a careless mistake on my end to be the cause of this delay. At least it is beyond my control for what that’s worth.
Meanwhile every time I call my local guy for the Proviron he promised me, he says “tomorrow”. It has been two weeks of “tomorrow”.
Better days ahead…
Local guy says come and see him at 1 pm tomorrow. Yeah, yeah…
Online source says they will make 2nd attempt to pick up Western Union funds.
Getting quality gear with little hassle at a fair rate ==> Priceless!!
Local guy said Proviron is very scarce. Now says “don’t call me. I’ll call you” when/if it becomes available.
Online source wrote back saying they were unable to pick up Western Union Money Transfer for the 2nd time and suggested I withdraw funds and try again.
I called Western Union in a rage and it turns out the receiver was under the impression that I was located in the U.S. The receiver must know three things about the transfer before being allowed to obtain transferred funds.
The receiver in this case always responded USA when asked to cite the sender’s country and thus was refused funds.
I gave clear information but the online source dropped the ball. In fairness it is confusing since I live in Canada, but requested delivery to the U.S. since the online source expressed better success rates with U.S. deliveries than Canadian ones.
I hope this is sorted out soon…
Now it makes sense with the payment. I was going to tell you to wait the 10 days for WU then get a refund and try again.
You should just get a different source for the Prov. Almost sounds like he’s a little pissed that you didn’t get everything from him so he’s sticking it to you.
I don’t understand why you sent it to the US. You STILL need to have it sent to Canada. You’re making the gear go through customs two times instead of one, unless the source is US, of course.
If it gets siezed by the Canadians you won’t have the benefit of a free resend, provided the source even offers it. In a sense it’s less risky but more risky…lol…

Hey Shadow,
No, I already bought Dbol from my local guy. I think he honestly has difficulty getting proviron. Granted if I bought his outrageously expensive test enanthate, he might be more motivated to find the proviron.
I hear you on the risk factor ordering to the U.S. only to subsequently cross the border again into Canada. I did it because the online source intimated that it was safer to deliver to the U.S.
My main goal is to obtain the shipment and avoid it being intercepted. It should be a simple matter to get it from the U.S. to Canada if delivery is successful from my source to the U.S. Hopefully I have experienced my last frustration with this order (fingers crossed).
Online source wrote me saying they will make a third attempt to retrieve Western Union funds using correct sender info today. Let’s hope this simple transaction can get completed today.
No email from my online source this morning. It will probably go to Monday before I know whether they successfully accessed western union funds. I wired them the money Thurs. Aug. 21. That’s well over a week.
Well, I can only hope their shipping is speedy and the quality of their gear amazing. Maybe they’ll send me the premium reserve for my troubles? I actually had the gall to ask them to throw in an extra 100 tabs of Proviron to compensate me for the delay seeing it was their mistake. I wonder how that will go over?
No email from my online source today. It’s “Labour Day” in Canada and “Labor Day” in the U.S. This transfer was sent to Poland so I would have expected it to be business as usual there.
I ran tracking on the western union site and the result for the MTCN indicated it is STILL awaiting pickup?? Either my online source has not made a third attempt with the correct sender name and address, or they have tried and failed and not sent word of that yet.
In any case this is taking forever…
my god.
i do know that many of them wait till they have a lot of pickups to make but still… that is a long time to wait to even pick up a payment.
:S
Progress!! I just checked my MTCN (money transfer control number) on the Western Union site and it has been picked up!!
Still haven’t heard back from my online source yet.
It’s a miracle…
More progress. My online source confirms picking up the money transfer.
Unfortunately, they haven’t indicated when they will ship, how many packages they will ship, expected ETA, nor if they will honour my request for 100 free Proviron tabs as compensation for my inconvenience due to their error on the first two attempts to pick up the funds I sent.
Online source responded to my email saying that they shipped my order on Sept 1st. The gave me a 13 character alpha-numeric tracking code. 2 letters, 9 digits, 2 more letters. They called it a “DC#” which I assume is a tracking number. Does anyone know which website I can track this code at??
Oh the joys overseas ordering. As I alluded to earlier this can and often is the reality, unfortuneately for you and most everyone else

Isn’t the human spirit truly amazing? When the level of desire to achieve a goal is high enough, we display a stunning level of tenacity.
This was a first time effort with many of the newbie pitfalls. We must learn from them and streamline the process for future purchases.
I am confident that after exploring local, online, and prescription avenues; that the process can be a lot less problematic. That said, I have more hurdles to cross:
One step at a time and let experience be our teacher…
Thats a very mature and refined outlook DH and yes live and learn. There will always be some minor bumps. Its not like ordering a hammer online from homedepot.com
Received another email from international source. They tell me the tracking number is USPS. I checked it out and it only confirms that the USPS was alerted that the sender intended to send the shipment. No update yet. I subscribed to email updates by USPS.
As for my freebie request to compensate for shoddy service, they say “we can’t add the 100 Proviron tabs because the order has already shipped”. Of course my request for them to do that was prior to the time they shipped. More crappy service. I asked if they could credit me the 100 tabs on a future order for the sake of goodwill. We’ll see what they say…
Don’t hold your breathe. The super good guys will actually sometimes try to do something to make amends for a bad situation like this, but even its limited
Home Depot in the States is the same company as B&Q in the UK… same branding, ads, colours, logo design, uniforms…

International online source replied to my request to throw in 100 tabs Proviron free with next order to make amens for dropping the ball on service with my current order (which is shipped and on its way).
They said “no problem”. Well if everything checks out and I order from them again, I’ll see if they honor that committment.
