Funny thing dvd.horder, I have had similar recently from a US seller I have dealt with for a few years. I bought something last month but tracking said it was delivered in March. Well, there's an error within the system if tracking shows delivery before the purchase date.

From memory I think that you said you've had stuff via Economy before. I have too, and it can take anywhere from 3 to 9 weeks. Sometimes for reasons unexplained Economy from the US can arrive before that Pitney Bowes GSP and even my trusted favorite, USPS First Class.

I know that you said the tracking shows item delivered. Perhaps an incorrect number was given. Check to see what you paid for postage as well. If it's really low then it may be economy.

Hopefully mate your package will arrive  soon.

What a coincidence.

It must have something to do with you both obsessively buying DVDs from the US.

They do, or rather a lot of their contractors do - I had a packaged delivered on Easter Sunday this year, that was a first, but I've received packages on Saturdays and Sundays plenty.

OK, that's not too bad.  Things could be getting better. It depends though. Something from the US could be arriving in a reasonable time on day and then on another day for whatever reason, it takes a long time.

Economy is cool and I have had a few more things sent to me via economy. Great saving on postage costs but the tracking info isn't very informative. I have seen some hi-fi items with cheap postage from Euro countries set-to-go with Economy. As I've post elsewhere, I probably wouldn't use it for a very expensive or truly rare item.

I think I still have one more item coming from US via economy.

Hi padi, can you please post the link to “tell us what you think”? I’ve looked everywhere but I can’t find it. Thanks 😊

Go to the top of your purchase history or watchlist and it's there on the RHS.

Yes, I agree with you, how do we leave feedback after waiting an unreasonable time? 

My parcel took 10 WEEKS to arrive!! I paid for it on 20 April 2021 and it finally arrived 25 June. BTW, it arrived by “Air mail” - slow plane? Covid shouldn’t be blamed, every other thing I purchased in late April arrived within 1 - 4 weeks.

Also, I would think feedback would still be allowed 4 days after the parcel arrived, but feedback time is so short that I’ve been excluded from leaving it.

One “good” thing - the seller was able to leave EXCELLENT feedback for me. They only waited 10 minutes (seconds?) for me to pay, not 10 weeks, but I was able to reply and let them know how I feel.

WHY is there a limit on time to leave feedback? While Covid is often a valid excuse and given that it took nearly 3 months for an item to arrive, I think 6 months is more reasonable timeframe for feedback.

I have tried to use the “tell us what you think” link, but ...me thinks someone has hidden it!
