[ktmog6uk]

[SternG]

It´s all foreign to them :wink:

and how are they to know than murmeltieren do not hop about :albino:

It looks to me like someone is going to have to do some country renaming. Who? That's the problem. The country that's had its name the longest, or the country that is the biggest? Well, Australia wins on both counts (if one counts the discontinuity of the Anschluss). An alternative would be to have a special international mail name for Austria. I would recommend "Austria, not Australia, you silly buggers", or, perhaps "Österreich"

Best wishes,
Bob

They can't be serious! Or as George W. has put it "Reading is the basics for all learning."

I was thinking "Österreich" too, but they'd probably return it as "destination unknown", or similar. ;-)

As an aside, I remember when I worked in a factory in south Wales, our German business partners would send parcels over with the address written as:

Maesteg
Wales
England

This caused no end of protest amongst the Welsh staff! :evil:

Sorry to hear Mike!

My last order (Royal Mail) went from UK to New Zealand instead of being shipped to Germany. I am still trying to find out the similarity :roll: ...perhaps New Zermany? Anyway, it finally arrived after 4 weeks.

[Hermit]

I guess it's someone typing it in and the computer suggesting Australia to auto-complete after 'Aus' = fail :(

Rename Australia to Oztralia, they'd probably ike that :lol:

I wonder if their computer understands country codes... writing 'AT (Austria)' might help.

[Seamus]

Really weird, how hard can it be to at least get it to the right country in the right part of the world :roll:

Hope it returns to you soon.

[Seabadger]

I was thinking "Österreich" too, but they'd probably return it as "destination unknown", or similar.

Or send it to Africa

[boddah]

Oh bloody brilliant :roll:

[Shakir Khaja]

Sorry to hear about how you have got mucked about by UPS... :(

[swanbourne]

If it's any consolation, the postcode for Sheffield is "S" and the postcode for Southend-on-Sea is "SS". Because my postcode is "S5", this sometimes scans as "SS" and online tracking occasionally reports my shipments as having arrived in Southend and being "out for delivery" :( .

Well, UPS is not the problem, it's United States Postal Service, USPS ;-)

[GraniteQuarry]

Austria/Australia - no difference really APART FROM 10,000 MILES !!!

Feel for ya mate, this is just ridiculous :evil:

[mr1973]

I'll let the beer decide :lol:



Local brewery, founded 1492. :lol:

Cretins.

My sympathies, if only outlawing stupidity would work...

[PekkaM]

I've received a shipment from England three weeks late with "Mistakenly sent to Falkland Isles" written on it :roll:

This is the same clot who said "The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur". Cock.

[SIMONRP]

Damn yanks! :roll:

[Tomcat27]

Well it is not only UPS who can do this. I have sold a watch and sent it here from Denmark to United Staates, and on the track´n´trace information i can see that the parcel is now in United Kingdom
Called their service desk and told them, their answer was, let´s wait some days it ought to be forwarded to the United States, and if not we can make an service case then......

Now i´m looking like an idiot because i promised to ship the watch Express to the man in USA and the parcel is now in UK.....

[mr1973]

PHEW!
