Title: How long is too long?
Post by: 00Oo0o0oOo0Oo0oO on May 10, 2013, 02:36 am
I placed an order two weeks ago, and then the site started getting attacked.  The seller said that they were shipping it out last Wednesday or Thursday.  It's just shipping within the US so I feel like it should be here by tomorrow or saturday at the latest.   How long do you guys wait before you start asking the vendor about it?

depends how it was shipped... from within the US at least, it shouldn't be more than 2 business days for express, 3 business days for priority, or 7 business days for standard mail, (mon-fri) but the usps does fuck up now and again. if its been longer than the appropriate time for your shipping method, from the day that your order was actually marked 'in transit,' nothing wrong with letting the seller know you still haven't received it. i usually pay for priority so i dont have to wait around wondering for very long. i'd give it another few days beyond the average shipping time before starting to worry or anything.

Okay, yea im pretty sure it was sent the slowest possible through usps.  I will be doing priority from now on.  It sucks waiting around.

2 weeks is TOO long for something within the US .......contact your vendor and get him to confirm shipment. If no answer it's likely you are waiting on something that isn't coming. Don't panic it's possible there has been some kind of mix up .... I would definitely send him a message .

Sorry I did not see ( saw it did not read it) where you had communication with the vendor and last Wed or Thurs was part of the trouble time frame for SRr's DOS attack. Be patient but I would think even a week is a bit long and I don't know of too many vendors doing snail mail.
