Title: shipping times from the UK
Post by: pyrodarknessanny on April 27, 2013, 10:15:46 PM
so brought some stuff on evil bay recently
waiting on most of it to arive too,

but getting worried about one item in particular  (non pony,  its an old LP record)
its comming from Kent ,UK  and was apparently shipped  3 weeks ago.

normaly im getting stuff sent in from the US and China  *i am in asutralia*   that stuff usualy arives within the 20 days mark.

i havent gotten anything from the uk in a long while now so  im not sure what avrage shipping times are.
ive sent the seller an email letting them know it hasent arived yet, but apparently as pr UK postal rules they have to wait  for 28 days to pass before  chasing it up with the postal service.  (its not quite been that lond yet, but its getting close)


any ways ... should i give this thing another week  before i start freaking out?  * the item in question was not cheap* 

or what .. i dont know.   :huh:

Oh, it might take some time, yes. Give it a couple more weeks and it should be fine :)

I was told it's 6 weeks before you can report something as missing unless it was sent express :(. I think some things just take a bit longer for whatever reason. It could just be that the shipment it was in had a suspicious parcel in it so it's been delayed by your country's customs.

I'd say give it time. Talking from experience, it can take over a month- you're a long way away! :P

Stick in there, and it should arrive soon :)

No tracking number, hey?  That can be super frustrating!

:hug:  I know its easier said than done but please dont worry yet - 3 weeks is normal - and as the others mentioned it can take 4 or more weeks . Hopefully it should be arriving soon :) did the seller give you the date they shipped?
