@tyrantcrimson-17wrote:So last month I ordered an item. $130+ AUD. The seller was from the Philippines and had an all-round completely positive feedback history. He is a helpful guy, and even informed me it'd take up to 4 weeks to receive my parcel. However, a whole month/4 weeks has nearly elapsed now and I have nothing in my mailbox. I live in Australia, and the postage carrier is Philpost. I don't want to be the sourpuss and drop the first negative feedback on his profile as I know it's not his fault.
Could the parcel be delayed? Could have it been sent to my post office instead of my mailbox? It's not a massive item, so I don't know why one would hesitate to pop it somewhere I can notice it. Any advice or help about this issue? Should I obtain a refund/cancel the order? Get in touch with the carrier or my post office?
You have 2 months from date or purchase to leave feedback, so there's still time to leave feedback I guess. How much time out of 60 days do you have left?
You can always open a PayPal case now and then stay in negotiation with seller via that process. Then if and when the item arrives, just cancel it.
The seller has probably done the right thing. Sometimes things get delivered to wrong addresses or have an unexplained hold up.
Best to just wait until the last 5 days of feedback time, then decide what you want to do.
I have never had an item go lost on it's way to me. A couple of sellers didn't send the items. One, I believe may have had a drug or booze problem and had a cluster of negatives for similar things. The other also had a cluster of negatives at the same time of my ransation and who knows what happened there. I have dealt with that seller on Gemm when it was going and have had some bad experiences with him. Didn't know it was the same seller when I purchased it from him on ebay until later.
Anyway, if you have a P.O. box then it's a good chance your item will arrive eventually. I hope so. Lety us know how you get on.
Oh, and by the way, I did have one item that similarly to you, I was wondering what may have happened. Did the seller send it to the wrong address?? It did eventually arrive. It took nearly 2 to 3 times longer than usual. Checking the parcel, the post mark on the stamp showed it was posted within 3 days from when I bought it. So seller did right thing and the addressing was very clear. So where it was from when it left the UK till it arrived in my PO box, I can only wonder.
