Expecting a card from Canada

mjsch · Mar 19, 2011

Just want to know if I should be concerned about this transaction. I purchased a card on Feb 25 on eBay, and paid on the 26th. The item's location is Ottawa, Canada and I am located in Kansas. The seller left feedback for me on the 27th, but never marked the card shipped. Here it is March 19th and I am still waiting for it. I know I've heard about customs holding things up, but is this typical? I don't want to be a pest and end up on some blocked bidders list, but also I don't want to let too much time pass and have my rights go down the drain. Should I contact the seller or wait a while?

Thanks for your help! :mrgreen:

Nothing to worry about yet, especially with the seller leaving feedback. You are covered by Paypal for 45 days or whatever it is so just watch the date and open the dispute if needed but I would give it at least three weeks before thinking twice about it

I just made a thread similar to this. It's been three weeks for me sending a package up there and the buyer hasn't received the card yet. After about four weeks I'll begin to worry some more.

Customs have been slow lately on packages sent standard flat rate. Registered mail cards take about 6-8 business days, give or take a few, but if sent regularly I have been waiting about 3 1/2 - 4 weeks for packages recently.

Cross border mail has been slow as of late... I've also been waiting 3-4 weeks for packages to arrive from the US (I'm in Toronto).

It was very quick to get thru at the start of the year but most of my US buyers are getting their stuff 5-10 days later than usual for the last month or so.

And don't forget it's US customs fault
