  1. Whether the seller actually used Priority or not I don't know, but I think $20 is enough to cover one slab shipped to the UK.

     

    There's no tracking info? (shrug)

     

    I've mailed and asked for it. Hopefully there is :wishluck:

     

    Is this the 'mail' that you sent to him six days ago, Gav?

     

    If so, any idea why it's taken him so long to respond with such a straight-forward piece of information? hm

     

    The mail last week was just letting him know I still hadn't received the book. He replied and said he'd see what he could find out. I've still heard nothing so PMd (no apostrophe) him back this morning asking for shipping confirmation.

  2. So I've finally got round to starting on these. Read #1 and #2 of the first run late last night and I loved it. Great idea and the artwork is really nice, just feels fresh compared to what I've been reading lately.

     

    Thankfully I've got all the issues through to Head Games #3 so I'll sit down with those for an hour this afternoon and get through them. If the kids will leave me alone long enough that is :insane:

  3. I sent one to Garry/gaz973 in January. A month later, he still hadn't gotten. One day, he walks into his shed and finds the postman had delivered it a couple of weeks early but just left it in the shed when Garry wasn't there. No note, nothing.

     

    Maybe you should check your shed.

     

    If I had one I would. I live in an apartment so I don't have a shed :gossip:

     

     

    I once shipped a book to a boardie in Australia by surface mail. It was over two months before it arrived. I think I was in more of a panic about it than he was, though... It can certainly take a LONG time for overseas surface mail packages.

     

    I paid enough for the book to be shipped Priority International, in fact it was me who quoted the shipping cost. I've had one package delivered surface mail which was form Canada, and that took around 6/7 weeks. Nowhere near three months though.

  4. You're right Brian your boxes get here in around a week. It never takes more than two normally, even from sellers on eBay.

     

    I did buy once before from this user and the books did take a while to come through, maybe 3/4 weeks or so, but this one just doesn't look like it's going to turn up. I don't particularly want to out a seller over something that may not be their fault - I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. But the payment was made on 12th January and last contact was 6 days ago when the seller said he'd try to find out what he could.

  5. I bought and paid for a book in January which still hasn't arrived yet. I've mailed the seller and he says to wait it out - it will turn up. I've bought from him once before and I can't see him screwing me.

     

    But 3 months delivery time? I've written it off to lost in the post, any advice people? (shrug)
