Borderlinx Issues

[Telfs Card Park]

I have been using Borderlinx with no dramas for a few months now and havent had any problems up till now. The last 4 or so Ebay purchases I have made I have received messages from the seller stating that Ebay and USPS lists my address as invalid. I signed up for another US address service hoping it would rectify the problem but I really do like the Borderlinx set up as it allows you to buy from the UK as well. Anyone had this experience and know what to do? I have read up on it and tried changing the structure of the address but nothing worked. Help much appreciated...

Can you do a screen dump and show me how its set up on your ebay account.

I have been using borderlinx pretty heavily for over a year now and apart from the odd muppet that cant address and envelope properly i have had no problems.

I can just write it here as I don't have much time right now

0737-0110 Borderlinx/DHL
4505 Honeywell Court (Door 31)
Dayton OH 45424-5760

Here is exactly how i have my address set up on ebay. Have had 200+ items without this complaint from the seller. You might need to slightly change yours.

So I have the Borderlinx/DHL part as Address 1 and 4505 Honeywell Court part as address 2?

 

[ooneil]

Well based on how I did mine i would do yours like this.

Borderlinx/DHL 0737-0110
4505 Honeywell Court (Door 31)
Dayton OH 45424

Yep I just entered the Borderlinx and 4505 lines into the first address part as it wouldn't allow me to set them apart. Now to wait and see if it works, cmon Jennings gold from 2012-13 NFL Prizm land in my purchase history!

ive had this problem too, its mainly coz sellers use paypal to print a label directly and it doesnt say its a recognizable address u just have to tell the seller its all fine and write it exactly how u have it

Guys, if you don't mind me asking, how much is the borderlinx costing?. Have been looking at this recently especially as the US postal rates have gone up and it seems fewer sellers are willing to post here.

depends on how many items you have really..

As an estimate, what have you guys been paying and for how many packages? just to get an idea

You can have a maximum of 20 packages delivered at once so once you start getting into 10+ packages your paying around $4.5 to $5 per card to get delivered. Also comes down to how some of these donkey sellers package them. The larger the package the more your going to pay.

So could still work out fairly exxy then by the looks of it.

i bought an item and the address had a character cap , which means i couldnt add the full address so what i did was skipped the 5205-7234 boarderlinx/dhl part and just added the full address of the honeywell part..... There goes $400 because apparently u need to add the full thing and due to the site having an address charzcter cap i couldnt add it and this stupid site (supplement site) doesnt reply to emails so im screwed lol.

 

[ooneil]

So what the package did not show up at Borderlinx or you were unable to buy it??

 

[bomber5]

Borderlinx hasnt got it and i opened a chat with borderlinx and they told me the package did not arrive and because i didnt add the full address so i emailed the site 4 times and have npt had a reply and i dont know what to do it sucks

 

[ooneil]

Keep hassling them out on the live chat and have them lodge a search. It should show up to them.

Is there are tracking number?? If not lodge a paypal claim.

I had a similar thing happen with Tennis Warehouse they also had a character cap and when I hassled them about it I eventually won and they said we had your package but it didnt have your full suite address so it didnt go straight to your mailbox

 

[bomber5]

Well my problem is this site was a credit card payment and now im stuck, boardlinx told me to enail them, ive emailed them 4 times with no reply and now im lost of what to do next

As Owen mentioned it works out around $5 per package of a single/few cards.
Given the rather steep and dramatic postage increases to Aus recently, and the fact a lot of US
sellers have free postage I still think its pretty good alternative. I usually get upto my 20 packages,
or a month and then ship the lot (after 30 days of storage you have to pay to continue them to hold it).

Ive had 2 packages go awol out of over 100 so not too bad, the ones that went amiss were easily replaceable
and not expensive luckily.

Have you been on one of the live chat windows?
