Off topic but you seem quick to fire off those red dots for slow delivery, yet reluctant to leave positive feedback. All about you by the looks
I think that may not be entirely fair. I can only see 6 feedback left for others so i would say the poster's tendency is more along the lines of usually not leaving feedback at all, (considering they have a a score of 159).
And the negs they did give were all to the same seller. That seller has other negs and neutrals for the same issue-being slow to post.
I think where Joel has come unstuck though is feeling that buying something 2 weeks away from his deadline was enough time to allow for the item to arrive. Normally for a local item it probably would be enough, but given he bought on the Friday of a long weekend plus the seller had a handling time of 2 business days, it is quite possible the item wasn't going to be posted out till Wed afternoon/Thursday morning the following week, which meant the delivery time was actually down to about a week.
Even the ebay estimate stated the delivery might not be till 16/6, which was only yesterday. It's a bit too early to be opening cases, I feel. Unfortunately things are sometimes running a few days late and I suspect this parcel will arrive, although it could be touch & go if it is there by friday. Just tell the recipient that their present is on order but still coming.
I suspect the seller may not have sent it with tracking or didn't keep a record and that is why they have ignored your last message. They don't want to tell you that. All the same, I hate it when sellers ignore messages, it doesn't help their cause as buyers suspect the worst.
Personally, I'd do what others have suggested and give it a bit more time, maybe another week, but if there is no sign of it by then, just open an item not received claim. No need to message the seller again.
