how can you tell if someone is drop shipping and not delivering from your location. sick of sellers saying Australia and finding out it is being sent from china and taking weeks to get

I don't think you always can, but the estimated due date should give you a bit of an indication.

If it is several weeks away instead of the more usual 7-10 days, then be wary.

And if you buy something that is taking a long time to get to you, well over the ETA, then don't mess around, open an item not received claim. That should see you with a full refund.

Click on the seller's feedback number and see where they are registered. If it says China (or some other Asian country), you can be pretty sure it's being sent from overseas. Sure, some do have warehouses in Australia, but most will be sent from OS. Ignore where they say the item is, always go by where they are registered.

1) Look to see where the seller is registered, not where the item is located

2) Check their feedback. If they are sending from China, but claim to be in Australia, you will pick that up from the negative feedback they receive.

3) There are some sellers who are actually located in Aus, but do drop ship from China - again, just check the feedback.
