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.

    Why not ask the seller if the items have been shipped?

    There is no reason for a seller to "hold" shipping an item. I ship the same day the order is received unless its very large which can take an extra day or two. Covid is a poor excuse unless the seller got it! As for shipping times, things are pretty normal, A shipment to the USA takes anywhere between 3 to 5 days. Australia still takes more or less a month. My latest Europe are all within 7/10 days. Mail is slow if the seller is slow....

    In guess I normally expect something to be shipped in about three business days? That’s just a gut feel based on experience, thought.

    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.

    Glenn hasn't replied to Carol's Inquiry about asking the seller. Communication is the key. So many things can happen in a person's life. If you want to know, then ask the seller when you should be expecting the order.
