Overseas shipping Times
Rooonga:
I bought a set of flights from the states, they were posted on 7th December and still haven't arrived.
He told me that he sent them airmail, but they sat in the depot until 8th January so I am certain they went by boat.
The seller gave me a 50% refund as a good will gesture, and I have no idea whether they will arrive or not. I wonder if it might be going around the world via Japan etc, as it was sent from the west coast of the states. (Maybe that's why it's taking so long?)
I have bought loads of stuff since then from America, but this has all arrived within a couple of weeks. (Bought some stuff from darren chan (DCBMX) on ebay - and it was with me in about 4 days!)
I'll let you all know if they ever arrive.
Oh - 1 word of warning - don't leave it too long to complain to ebay/paypal. My time limit ran out ages ago as I gave him more time due to the "surface mail" delivery so I now have absolutely no protection at all - he can rip me off for the extra money, and I can do NOTHING about it!

I would only use Airmail now.
Zippy:
What's the time limit for complaints via paypal then. If it was bought through ebay do you complain to them as well.
Also what Happens when they've sent it but it hasn't arrived. Is it their fault or just tough luck.

I think if they have proof of postage, its bad luck.
I sent a Golf club to South Africa it never got there, I did claim off the post office only £32 & I gave the buyer all his money back, but wish I had not bothered as the To$$er did not even email to say thankyou >:( so if I send stuff oversea's again I only use UPS & let them pay the costs.
oberonspacefruit:
i dont know the time limit zippy.
phone them
i know they have threatened to refund the money that people have payed to me, when an item i have posted has not turned up, so they CAN do it. fortunately for me, my posted items turned up a fee weeks later.
