shipping time

Im really starting to get ticked off at the slowness Im receiving my ebay auctions. If the package is mailed in the US it should only take 5 or 6 days top to receive the item. If its within a state or 2 it shouldnt be longer than a day. I wouldnt mind if the seller states in the auction they only ship on certian days but when they let the package sit around for a week then mail it ticks me off.

  • I have had a few problems with this lately as well, but I also live in Alaska so it usually takes a little longer.

  • Try living in Canada... Haven't seen ANY non-priority packages get here in less than 3 weeks... Haven't seen the package Ross sent out at the start of July... Haven't seen a package Erik sent mid July... Waiting on a couple other eBay items as well...
  • I bought a US SNES on the 22nd June from games_palace on ebay and it was shipped on the 15th July! It was just sat there for the best part of a month. It took them 11 days to ship out a 72 pin connector I won of them, and its still not arrived. Absolute joke of a service they provide.
    So I'm not buying anything else from them ever again, just take your money and forget what they've taken it for.

    I was just going to send you a message about that. I can't believe you still haven't gotten that yet. Let me know when you do.

    I'm sure it's on its way... Canada Post sucks... If it's not sent priority I don't even worry until a month to 5 weeks has passed.
  • ok man, keep me posted.
  • Yeah it is crappy... all 3 of the packages I've sent Batty Priority got there in 5-10 days but his birthday present package is long overdue... guess that means you probably don't deserve it anyways Chris... LOL!!



    And as far as Games_Palace... I agree, I don't think I will ever buy from them again either, very slow, and item quality has sucked on the couple things I bought from them.

    Worst birthday ever! I can't compete with Aerosmith coming to town, and all my friends ditched me! I was hoping to hell that package got here to see what kind of goodies the wife got me... but alas... that was two weeks ago!
  • So that you guys don't feel alone ... in the past few months I had to file 2 different Paypal claims on two different people who thought it was a "GOOD IDEA" not to ship the item until they would be punished "FINANCIALLY" for not doing so.

    The worst part about these things is if I post negative feedback they will hose mine.
  • I won an auction from games-_palace before I saw this thread.  It got here today, 8/3, and I just won it on 7/30.  That was really quick.  It was two giant boxes too!

    Also, that only gets the *honest* buyers from backing off a claim, dishonest ones can still maintain the claim on the grounds that the item was not shipped in a timely fashion. I don't know if the policy has changed, but there used to be a 7-day window, after which even if they produce proof of shipment, the proof cannot be used. Even though by Paypal contract I guess they're entitled to their money back, they shouldn't get to keep the merchandise too.



    Happened to me once, I sold a big lot of Magic cards to someone, they claimed nonreceipt, so we shipped another with D.C. (before we started confirming standard with every order) and submitted the D.C. as proof we sent another out...Paypal refused it, so we were out TWO big boxes of Magic cards, and the money they spent, and the shipping costs for both.



    C'est la Paypal.
  • well been a week and no package.
  • Coming up on 6 or 7 weeks... no package from Ross.... Coming up on a solid 5 weeks.... no package from Erik... damn I hate Canada Post... Yet everything that I've ordered since has come through... including another package from Erik...
  • If you would have gave Erik a little more lovin then he would have sent you your stuff. You know what to do, time for a ride on the dirty brown highway of love.

    That`s weird,I also live in Canada and I always get my stuff within the 5-10 business days.

    I usually check when it was shipped and I often get my stuff after 4-5 days.

    I think it makes a big difference if it get`s held up at customs wich is why I always ask the sender to put the value at 15$.
  • But I already did!!! And I tried to butter up Ross, but he was having none of that!



    Maybe it's time I seduce the mailman...
  • Hilarious... got home and my package from Erik was there... Customs form says 10 bucks!
