lengthy wait for shipping of item

I brought an item from a UK seller on the 3rd March, I just enquired when they would ship it and they said 19th March. This a long time to wait? But possibly its an estimate.Man Frustrated

The item was 6 x 10ml concentrated vitamin drops for small animals. They are usually about $AU16.00 just for one bottle. I paid just over AU$15.00 for them which is very very cheap. I had bought from this seller over a year ago but got tired of waiting for them to respond to my emails and cancelled the order. They are a very large seller with around 400 thousand items or so.. But thats no excuse for waiting over 2 weeks to post something. Their have quite a lot of negative feedback. I'll be lucky if its posted. Really lucky.

If what you say is accurate, don't cancel the sale, just wait it out.You'd be mad to cancel a purchase where you're getting 6 bottles for less than the price you'd pay for one.

The wait time is an inconvenience perhaps but it's not going to affect your life. Just wait it out.

Look at the handling time for the seller.

If the date they gave is within that time frame there is not a lot you can do

If they say less handling time than the postage date they gave you then have a right too kick up about it.

I have come across sellers especially in the UK who are selling items they don't have in stock, and then they quote a long handling time, while they go and get the item from a supplier.

And as you know, not all sellers mark something as sent as soon as they send it
