economy mail from overseas
What we had was simply a failure to communicate :-)
Dale "Dale Hallmark" dalehall"AT"cableone.net wrote in message m... I am familiar with trading overseas and if he had said he sent it ground or economy I wouldn't have gotten worried until after 8 weeks. We talked about that before I bid and he said it was the 7-10 day mail service. It didn't really matter to me, I was in no hurry but when it didn't show up weeks after the promised delivery date, I began to worry and eventually gave up. We talked several times and he was surprised I hadn't already gotten it and he filed a complaint with the post after 30 days. The postage on the package is 8.48 euros and I paid $13 US. That is close enough because the container cost too. It is clearly marked economy. Alls well that ends well and I left positive feedback. Dale "Ian" wrote in message . uk... airmail can take anywhere between 3 -22 days (usually just 4 from UK) surface mail can take between 6 - 12 weeks (usually just 6 from UK) Ian Dale Hallmark wrote: I won a reference book from a French seller on eBay and I paid $13 for shipping. I was emailed when the item was sent and told that it would arrive in 7-10 days. I gave up on ever getting that item a LONG time ago but believed the seller really did send it so I left no feedback good or bad. That depresses me as near $40 purchases are not something I can easily lose and feel good about or forget. Well it arrived today!!! 47 days after it was shipped!!! I feel like celebrating. :-) Dale |
