How would you feel about this if it were you?

blingbrian · 02-16-2011, 12:50 PM

So I purchased a box off of ebay right, and the seller charges $8.95 USPS Priority Mail. He gives me tracking and it takes a about a day and a half to update. im expecting to get it tomorrow BUT it says estimated delivery is Feb 22! That is not priority mail!

so my question is how would you feel? it's only a few dollars difference assuming he used parcel post but still! if you advertise something you should fulfill it and not cut corners or lie or do some bad ethics crap.

I purchased something last week and got 2 messages that it shipped on the 13th, no tracking # though. the next day I received another message it shipped. Then yesterday I received a 3rd message it shipped and this time it had a DC# which was printed that day! So needless to say, their shipping time dsr will get a ding if I even put anything in for it. I feel your pain. Mine also went from 2/14-2/18 delivery to 2/16 to 2/22 (also usps priority)

wait till you get the card, and your feedback, then slam them with a zero shipping stars.

yeah the DSR hit sounds like the perfect idea. i know the sellers are just trying to save every penny but cmon man might as well just make it free shipping

I bought a card off ebay last week & it gave estimated time of arrival as Feb 21-23. Needless to say I got it on the 10th. They give a cushion of time for shipping & handling so the seller don't get dinged for some stupid reason like the USPS running slow or bad weather!!! The $8.95 is average I think for any box purchased of ebay.

If seller advertises USPS Priority shipping and does not ship that way I would ask for a partial shipping refund. ($2-$3 max refund)

If seller refuses I would inform Ebay of the issue.

A Neutral FB whould be the best he got from me and his DSR's would be rated accordingly.

the seller apologized and refunded me the total shipping fee so im satisfied now. he made it right.

Just a heads up here, for some reason USPS tracking numbers have NOT been updating properly.

Case in point, I sold some cards on here and sent them the day I said I would, 3 days later USPS has zero information on the DC, next day the guy receives the card and then the information populates back into the field......

Just an FYI is all.

Between post offices shut down and less postal workers expect delays from here on out. Just because we drop it off on Monday to ship the post office seems to have taken anywhere from 2 to4 days to scan said package, at least here where i live and thats using paypal shipping which might be why it is taking longer then usual.

Civil conversation usually gets the results wanted.
