Is 2 days too soon?

leighbriggs — Fri, 01 Nov 2013 07:14:21 GMT

Is two days past the estimated delivery time too soon to start worrying? I've had problems with this seller before and now I;m worried. Any feedback and suggestions will be considered.

Is 2 days too soon? YES

At this time of year you always have to add a couple of extra days to the usual Aus Post guesstimation. If your item is a parcel check in your My eBay to see if the seller has uploaded any tracking details.

do you have a tracking number?

these days with aust post snail mail no 2 days past due date is not a worry

for aust to aust give it around 10 to 14 days once you know the date it was posted

if not received email seller

for overseas to aust dont let it go past the 45 days with paypal

allow 40 days if not arrived do item not recieved with paypal

The estimated delivery times are not at all accurate and yes, 2 days is way too soon to be worried.

Where are the items coming from (local or overseas) and how long since you paid?

I can only find those 2 paid for on that date, (23/10) could you send me the item number through the PM system?

one from gray****

and one from quisty****

DO NOT put any identifying details on the forum, it is against policy to post item numbers or sellers and even listing names here now

Thank you for everyone's help with this. Only just found the posted icon in the summary and the item hasn't been posted yet. I am really happy that there is a large amount of support from the community. Have a good day people.

ok, and gatecrash in the title as well?

Re: Is 2 days too soon?

leighbriggs — Fri, 01 Nov 2013 08:29:48 GMT

indeed, it's okay though, found out it's not even been posted

Re: Is 2 days too soon?

*crikey*mate* — Fri, 01 Nov 2013 08:37:10 GMT

Ok, it is showing me as you paid on the 26th October

and that the seller says, "will usually post within 3 business days of receiving CLEARED payment"

ignore the eBay handling times, they can't predict how many times the posty will stop to feed and water his horse or change the wheels on the wagon....

so he may not have posted until the 29th

and then there is every possibility that Aus Post sent it via china, they're doing some really strabge things lately

just remember you have until day 45 to open up a dispute with paypal for item not received.

DONT GO OVER THAT TIME

saw the not posted above - ok, he might have posted it and not marked it though

best of luck

How did you find out it isn't even posted?

Did the seller tell you that in a message or did you look at the account summary and see the little 'posted' icon next to the purchase has not been marked off yet?

If it is the latter, some sellers are slack and never bother to mark that at all and others, I suspect, mark it before they actually post it, so it is not always the best indicator.

The stimated arrival/delivery ebay quote is nonsense
