Guest NASHEE Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 I was telling folk last week that a record I'd ordered at the beginning of Jan had obviously gone missing.....then Friday...out of the blue it dropped onto the door mat

Overheard a guy in the post office today asking the same question... JM
JOE TORQUAY Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 have you tried emiling him, he might have forgot to post it, i've had that happen before now, i think the best i had was two days the worst was about nine months, or not atall ( of which i've had a few ) joe.

Christmas Time 2007 Records posted from the States 24-12-07 Arrived 31-12-07 Amazing, considering the time of year, but about right any other time. Christmas Time 2006/2007 Records posted from the States 12-12-06 Arrived 20-02-07 (Postmarked 12-12-06) Both times the same seller, and Definitely NOT their fault The records were assumed to be lost, I have always trusted the seller and from first contact the money was refunded. At no time did I ever think that the seller had not sent them. I looked towards the post/customs, or one of those things. This thought process proved to be right, when they finally arrived (Postmarked 12-12-06), I re-paid the monies in full. Mutual trust. Couldn't fault the seller, I have bought from them for years now, problem was completely out of their hands. Where those records had been from 12-12-06 to 20-02-07 is anyones guess, they didn't appear to have any Customs activity and were clearly addressed. This is were ebays period of dispute doesn't help, hence the refund and re-pay in my case. Edited February 5, 2008 by 45cellar
45cellar Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Anyone, still waiting. I had some Posted 22-01-08. Not too concerned, as mentioned previous Post. Just wondering how others are doing regarding U.S. Post. to UK. To compare current WAITING TIME, my records were posted from the East Coast.

Guest moggy Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I've had records take up to 2 months but also had them arrive in a few days Same here
45cellar Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) Same here Thanks, Strange how all of a sudden records are taking longer to arrive. In 2008 you would expect progress, rather than the opposite. U.S. Postage Prices have Increased too. Edited February 9, 2008 by 45cellar
