Shipping Time
How long should a buyer expect to wait for the seller to ship an item? I ordered two items from the same seller three days apart and neither has been marked as shipped. This first item was ordered almost a month ago. I realize that with postal service delays I need to be patient, so I would think that a seller would want to ship as soon as possible.

A couple of exceptions to that:
1) If the seller clearly states that they ship on certain days. If they ship on Friday, and I order on Saturday, I realize that it’s going to be a week.
2) If my order is going to take some work. If I order 250 inexpensive stamps, spread across a variety of countries and years, I realize that it may take a non-trivial amount of time to gather things. I’ll sometimes even let the seller know that there is no rush.
