Defects Galore......

[designers*n*more]

So, I lodge an item for posting on 14 Dec the day after payment is received (payment received on the evening of 13 Dec so impossible to lodge until the next day).  Parcel going from Victoria to Northern Territory

Ebays esitmated delivery - 6-11 Days

AP's estimated delivery 13- 14 days

Now if/when the buyer leaves feedback and the question comes up "did this item arrive within the estimated delivery time?" - BAM - a defect if the buyer states no.

Now if the buyer doesn't leave feedback - BAM - eBay slap a defect for Carrier late delivery!

eBay need to get in sync with Australia Post's estimated delivery times. 

This is is going to cause a lot of defects for late posting!

Just sold an item melb>WA today. POs are shut now until monday, so can't lodge until monday. Delivery estimate is shown as to be between fri 8 and mon11th.

With one day handling that will mean 4 workings days until friday for delivery, then it has all weekend to be delivered (as if) with last day for arrival being monday (5 working days). Given I have no chance to get a lodgement scan within 1 day and average shipping time for that delivery is 7-10 days..This is a dead set late shipment slap coming.

My local PO is the newsagent, so luckily I can get scans any day of the week. After that I don't care if they sit there waiting for the truck at 3.30pm the next working day.
