Ok, i admit, I should of known better especially in this current covid-19 situation, but I purchased an art & craft item a few weeks back now for my daughter to complete while we were self isolating. The item was "supposedly" in Australia, something I was specifically wanting at the time for obvious reasons. I did notice the estimated delivery date was more lengthy than normal, but thought that due to Australia Post at the time of purchase already experiencing delays here, that the sellers was just covering their own interests by giving a generous delivery date. The item wasn't cheap (compared to if I was to purchase a simialr item that acutally stated it was coming from China) & the postage amount was inline with Austrlai Post rates, so again, I thought I was safe in assuming it WAS actually coming from the stated QLD location. Now the estimated delivery time has passed and when I enquired with the seller, they inform me it will be delayed as coming from China and there is a delay with International postage.....and to be patient.
So apart from leaving appropriate feedback if/when my item arrives (which will no doubt be removed as they won't want negative comments) is there anything else I can do? I am best to contact Ebay as well to inform them, or is it a case of so many sellers do the same thing they don't or can't care? Do I open an "item not received case" now or wait a bit longer?
