How long does it take for a parcel to arrive from Korea to Australia?

I'm new to ebay and I recently purchased something from a Korean seller off ebay on the 17th of December and they shipped it on the 19th. I still have not received the package. How long does it usually take to receive a package from Korea to Australia?

I have not had experience with parcels from Korea but in general mail from most Asian countries seems to take at least 3-4 weeks.

I would not be worrying just yet. You have 45 days from the date you paid for the item in which to open a dispute. I would wait another couple of weeks before even thinking of opening a dispute.

Does the dog have something to wear in the meantime? 😄

I am not sure how you managed to buy items 3 weeks ago when you only opened this account on the 1st June.

Both your purchases were from sellers in China so you still have quite a wait ahead of you. If you used the usual Free Postage option they will be coming by economy post and will take from 2-6 weeks with the average being 4-5 weeks.

Why did you post here? It appears that you don't need any help....you just want to bad mouth ebay and your sellers?

Ebay does not read here....but other buyers and sellers do. We can all see when you bought your items and it is not very nice to tell porkies.

You may find yourself on many blocked buyer lists as sellers tend to be wary of buyers who make things up just to get some attention.

OP posted 3.5 years ago. Maybe they decided eBay wasn't for them.

Seriously??

You ordered it on the 5th - that was a Friday.

It's only the 11th....with a weekend in there as well.

Or are sellers expected to be working 24/ 7 ?

Oh, and let's not forget COVID worldwide affecting shipping times - heard of that at all?

Is it coming from Korea too?

Seriously, what is the estimated date range of arrival that was listed in the ad?

Most things, even within the same state, can take a week. You've started the panic a bit early.
