<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 7810676, member: 25270"]I have to disagree with almost everyone here. I've been in exactly the same place as the seller. This has happened to me multiple times. You drop the package in the blue collection box and then it doesn't get scanned in. Sometimes it never does appear. Sometimes it suddenly shows up at some regional sorting facility in Indianapolis three weeks later, even though you're sending it from Illinois to Minnesota. Give the seller a break. The USPS is all messed up right now and even though 95% of mailings go just as they should, some of them go disastrously wrong. Not every seller has time to go to the post office every day to get their packages scanned. I've started doing this on higher value items after getting burned in cases like this a few times, but it's just annoying to have people accuse you of not shipping when you know you did the right thing and the post office dropped the ball again. You're protected as the buyer no matter what so just give it a chance and see what happens. Two or three weeks to arrive is not out of the question during these times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
