I shipped a package from the US to Ukraine on July 5th, since their website advertises "4 - 5 weeks delivery time."
Meest claims they did not even receive my parcel until July 18th (when they finally created a tracking number for it). Their office assured me they'd comp it to air freight because of the mistake. They then shipped it by FedEx GROUND (the slowest shipper available) to a hub in New Jersey. After four days it got there, and then waited three more days before the website started to read "shipped from New Jersey."
No update for a week.
After repeated unanswered inquiries I was told it had been placed on a ship (so much for the promised upgrade) and that it would be arriving in Europe in 4 - 6 weeks FROM THE TIME IT WAS SHIPPED, and then would arrive in Ukraine 2 - 4 weeks later.
Assuming Meest does not screw up even further, this will result in a parcel that was shipped on July 5th, reaching Ukraine some time in early October.
I have informed the United States Department of Commerce that Meest is a smuggling operation with ties to a foreign government, illegally operating in the US under falsely advertised premises and will be following up with appropriate federal investigative bodies.
