Question; How long does it take to receive an item from Japan??

[buttercumorale_0]

Hi all, I have been waiting 14 days now for an item I had purchased for someone in US, and it's been taking extremely long for the tracking information to update from transit 😕 I already contacted the seller but they told me to wait, and I do not know when exactly do I have to wait because supposedly the item I bought for said person is gonna be coming from the 16th to the 31st, and we're near the darn 31st..so any help would be nice here.

You are posting on the forum for eBay Australia

Not sure how long postage takes from Japan to USA at the best of times, let along in this climate , sorry

Might be better to ask on the forum for eBay US as that is where you are

In the meantime , what is the seller's feedback like ?

What was the estimated delivery date for the item?

This is what they told me "Hello. The product has already been shipped from the factory. It may take some time to update the tracking information again, so please wait a little longer. If the Japan Post tracking number does not work, you can track the item from the eBay item detail page or contact the USPS. Japan Post tracking #UN018220903JP" - which I understood but it has been like 14 days and the thing is still stuck in transit. The estimated delivery is the 16th of the month to the 31st. It just shipped on the 8th of this month but it's on transit mode 😞 I don't know what is going on

What is going on is that it's in transit. Somewhere between Japan and the USA. Maybe even on a ship. What you do now is wait until the 31st, which is over a week away.
