Mail delivery times
Just a thought as we enter the month of December... it is likely that mail deliveries may be slower than many of us would like. I remind myself this when I wait 4 weeks to get a letter, as has recently happened to me. But I don't write a "bordering on the rude" letter to the sender telling them how unhappy I am with them, because I know the sender has no control over the mail once it is in the hands of the Postal services around the world. Let's all be tolerant over the coming months please. I am sure the Postal services are doing their very best, even if it is not quite as fast as we might like. Enjoy the excitement when you get the mail :-) Michael cddstamps

M Dodd, email is where the action is. And it is a miracle; I am continually amazed.
This past week I acknowledged an order from another Hip seller and told him it had arrived torn open and undated. He had addressed it perfectly and all the goods were still there so the only complaint I had was that the postage used on the envelope had been damaged by whoever opened it and before that the stamps had been pen cancelled. By the way I think you are no doubt well aware of E-Mail. All shippers should appreciate your call for tolerance in the time it takes to get the goods there at this time of year. Thank you.
What does his feedback look like? Did you look at any terms and conditions ? Many dealers only ship items one or two days a week due to the cost and time associated with going to the post office.
Hopefully others will chime in, but three days is too early to panic.

Unfortunately somehow perhaps the language barrier has prevented the "repayment invoice" being paid. He said I shouldn't be out the money but his response to the repayment note was confusing and he hasn't answered any of my reminder questions and of course the PAYPAL payment hasn't been completed.
Probably another one for the "cookie jar insurance" fund.....
My post office says tracking requires that it be a "first class package" which means it has to be at least 1/4 inch thick and the minimum charge is now around $3.00 but that does include tracking at no extra cost.
As near as I can tell that is also what the USPS site says. Hope to hear from others for some service I don't know about.
There is a FedEx and UPS usually near most of us; closer for me than post office with its often surly government employees. I suppose stamp collectors want the PO with its stamps and connection to the hobby.
I have found that some UPS folks can be just as offensive as some Post Office people.
