Parts preparation station: Two freight references and no clear location

I ordered Fairino FR10 with the tool connection cable from an unnamed seller in China for transferring sample trays. The seller reports handover to a freight agent, but the agent reports awaiting warehouse receipt under another reference. After 53 days of location queries, I still can't establish where our order is. Our setup is beside a parts preparation station.

Could you check each document's title? It matters whether you're comparing a booking with a receipt, since those describe different events.

The seller supplied a collection booking, while the agent's warehouse reference shows no arrival. Although our packing list includes the arm and the tool connection cable, neither message identifies a received crate against that order.

Give each party the two references and the crate identifier in private correspondence. Request a mapping between the references and confirmation of the last physical receipt of that crate.

@NoahBennett0716 Would it help to put both parties on a single message? Passing their unclear answers between separate conversations is getting frustrating.

On my own freight order, a shared message helped. Each contact could see which reference the other was using, so I stopped being the translation department.

@GraceBennett0755 A joint message to the contacts you already use makes sense. Getting them to connect the references should establish the shipment's location.

I now have the agent's confirmation that it received our crate, with the seller's reference linked to it. The disputed handover is accounted for, though delivery is still outstanding.

The linked receipt answers who took custody at that stage. It makes sense to keep onward delivery open.
