binky_bass Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hi, I'm expecting a rather expensive delivery from a Reverb purchase and after reviewing the tracking details I can see that the status is showing as 'shortlanded'. Having Googled this term it appears it means either the parcel did not disembark the vessel at the port of arrival or that the parcel wasn't on the vessel or couldn't be found aboard the vessel to be disembarked. So not a good thing in any event... Does anyone have any experience with having had a parcel 'shortlanded'? If so, what was the resolution? I've contacted the seller and the courier, SkyNet (never heard of SkyNet apart from in reference to The Terminator!). So hopefully I'll hear something back soon, but if anyone has any advice/experience with 'Shortlanded' parcels, please let me know! Russ.

marC3l10 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Got that too, I have no idea... but google says that the parcel didn’t come together even though I only ordered one thing thinking that you got your parcel already, what happened?

MrHarvester Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I got the shortlanded message too. Would like to know if this is a euphemism for 'lost'. Or will i see it in another few weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexel Matador Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I know I'm not helping (beyond moral support, perhaps) but this kind of thing makes my blood boil. They know perfectly well that no-one outside of the logistics industry knows what it means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAlonBass Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Just use Yodel. They tell you straight away, that they've lost ANOTHER Parcel you were expecting. 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Well seeing as we've resurrected a 3 year old post, @binky_bass did it ever turn up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkie635 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 If it came via Skynet, you know it would be back. 🤭 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexel Matador Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Weird - no idea how this showed up on the front page for me if it's that old - sorry all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Yes it did! 😀 For anyone interested, this is what eventually arrived... Probably the finest guitar Alan of ACG has created. Would of been a tragedy if it got lost in the post.
