With the huge strike in UK ... don't know how Zavvi will deal with shipment.
don't know if I have to cancel the preorder as we don't know how long the strike will be !!!
Any advice please ???
Thanks.
As you based in France you order would not be shipped using Royal Mail so that does not affect you in regards to when your order is dispatched
Your order would be shippped using a courier
Zavvi International orders when dispatched using Tracked Shipping
Most Zavvi pre orders are now shipped from HUT/Zavvi warehouse based in Warrington with tracked shipping
It's Fedex Cross Border International Connect who then send your parcel to your country and delivered by a local courier or your postal service in your country (Who the local courier will be can vary depending on destination country)
In regards to France it can be a local france courier or just your local france postal service La Poste)
When your order is dispatched you would have 2 different tracking numbers
This info will be seen in your account order history when you click track my order or by clicking track my order in the dispatch email
1) FIC tracking number (Starts with HUT) this is Fedex Cross Border International Connect (Note previously known as P2P Mailing and is not the same company as Fedex the Courier)
2) Local tracking number this only active when parcel arrives in destination country and parcel scanned by local courier or postal service
The various transport strikes though can affect as to when Zavvi warehouses gets delivery of stock from supplier and that affects other retailers not just Zavvi
Resulting delay in dispatching of orders and delay in taking payment for orders
Some orders can take longer than usual to be delivered after been dispatched due to various air and rail strikes that's happening in UK/Belgium/Spain/France/Portugal during christmas period and new year
If your order gets shipped from Zavvi warehouse in Guernsey it's sent by
non tracked standard guernsey post
That happens less often now be shipped from guernsey in regards to pre order releases
It's mostly now older back catalog stock that is shipped from Zavvi warehouse in Guernsey
