As if the ebay and other selling forums dont make it hard enough anymore, USPS has found a way to make ol' reliable not so reliable anymore.
Just an FYI for the general poster buying world, when you check your tracking and you see this line :
USPS in possession of item (the SAME day or next DAY after you buy it normally). That means all control of when you get the item.. I have absolutely no control over. I , like you, will be pissed at any delays that happen from that point on, but your fury directed upon me the seller at this point is misguided. All I can do is apologize, a second shipment will simply mean one will need to be sent back when they both arrive.
The instant gratification of todays society and the mail order business model sometimes clash. Sellers normally due everything they can to expedite an order, but unfortunately shit does happen, and the shipping model of 150 years ago still works the same, with just some automation thrown in to additionally screw things up from time to time. So when you are pissed your item has not arrived, I am right there with you because whatever money you feel you may be out, I am out the same amount of money. Please take a breath, give it some time and trust us sellers to make it right for you even though the time line may deviate from what the original plan and intention was.
