Two weeks .. that's nothing... I'm been waiting over a month for 2 members to get me books... one has been good... and responds to PM's ...the other ..nothing...

I have deadlines of 45 days to file claim with Paypal... but I think they'll still show up.. US postal service must be the most useless group around. foreheadslap.gif

 

If this happened to me on ebay I would have already filed. I’ve yet to have a package take more than 1 week to reach Canada, usually it’s 4-5 days. Are you certain its the post office and not lazy shipping? And to have a month go by with no response on the other is inexcusable. I don’t want a witch-hunt, but probation without any teeth is not going to do any good. If for some reason you don’t wish to out these people, I would truly appreciate a PM because they are not folks I would want to do business with.

 

10 days is the quickest I've ever recieved something from the States. Usually 2 weeks plus.

 

Same goes for when I send to the US.

Got a package in 3 days from NYC once. Couldn't believe it. gossip.gif

I am one of the transactions with Paul. I have actually mailed his package 2 times now, the first time it was returned to me. And if his never does show, I'll put it in writing right here. I will give him a full refund. I wouldn't want my reputation soiled over one transaction gone array.

 

Joe .. you didn't need to speak out...you're one of the most cordial guys I've dealt with via PM... I actually believe you amongst much of the BS I've gotten from sellers in the past.

The other is either away doing shows...or overloaded.. but I haven't seen him post here in a while.. confused-smiley-013.gif

I had my first disappointing experience of buying from a board member recently - across two separate transactions.

 

In the first transaction, the books were shipped surface (takes two months) rather than airmail (takes two weeks). Whilst no shipping method had been positively agreed upon, I assumed that the books would be shipped airmail, since my previous purchases from the same seller had been shipped airmail. I felt that the seller should at least have contacted me to give me the option of paying more for airmail.

 

When the books did arrive, one, which had been graded at NM-, turned out to have water-damage throughout the bottom half of the book.

 

I entered into a second transaction with the same seller, and the price was discounted to take into account the water-damaged book. The price for this deal was to include airmail shipping. When I contacted the seller seeking confirmation of shipping, he advised that he had shipped surface, offering no explanation.

 

My follow-up email, expressing my disappointment that the books have been shipped surface, even though I paid for airmail, has been ignored.

 

Up until this point, my buying experiences on the board had been 100% positive.

That is some dismal service all right. mad.gif Very sorry to hear. Can I ask who the seller is?

You need your own thread where everyone can file through with a hi.gif and then you can pizz on them. At least it would all be confined one area. poke2.gif

Define forever,

 

Pretty sure 1 week to 10 days is the norm makepoint.gif

Yes, but it's forever in my mind. Send out the books yet?

Screw me once, shame on you, screw me twice shame on me. Wouldn't have been a second transaction. Overseas shouldn't count as a package could show up 10 years later out of the blue.
