We will do our best to assist but we do not guarantee a payment currency change will be done.

The reason we use the US Dollar Currency is because we sell worldwide and because currency values change on a daily basis, making it extremely difficult to have set amounts for all global currencies.

720 Order Tracking

721 Spot98 uses a Global Tracking Number System.

The reason for this is that Spot98 Distributes and Ships-Out it's products from various Global Locations as an effort to better serve clients, and to reduce energy consumption and waste to help protect our environment. 

When Spot98 provides the client with a "Global Air Mail Tracking Number" ( NOT from UPS or FEDEX ), it may NOT look like your Country's Mail Service Tracking Number.

However, this Tracking Number can be used to track your parcel when the destination is to the United States of America, Canada, Australia and the UK.

722

We are adding new countries to the list as they become available. For example:


723

If the parcel destination is to the United States of America (USA).

The client would visit the USPS SITE (United States Postal Service) and track the parcel there by typing in the "Global Tracking Number" provided. Note:

Because this is a new Global Linking of Mail Services between nations and their operating systems, it is not yet perfect in some situations but it is improving towards it.

The most common small problem factor here is that the Information Posted on the Various County Sites is NOT always up to the minute as the Client tracks a parcel.

This is due to International Linking of Information and other issues.

But the full information about the parcel does get displayed a short time later...and this varies depending on the Country's Postal Service System.

 

724

Tracking number information can NOT be provide by phone or fax for safety and privacy reasons.
