<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 7812978, member: 103207"]Over the last few years I've had the same issue many are describing. The shipper generates the postal label and puts it on his package then it sits there until it's either picked up by the post office or dropped off at the post office or collection box. I've where it could take a few days before it's actually checked. BTW this doesn't only happen with coins. The US Mint is great for doing this. The first time it happed to me was about four years ago. I was notified my coin was shipped. Label generated and given a tracking number. The post office didn't actually get my package for about a week. The mint has gotten better but, one time it took close to 3 weeks from the time the told me it was shipped until I got it. So it's not always the seller that's the problem. I've had it happen with coins I won in a Heritage auction. I've seen them sit at Heritage 3 or 4 days before the post office actually got it. So don't assume the eBay seller is screwing you. Notify the seller your concern and see how they respond. Give them the benefit of the doubt before hitting with a bad review. You will learn fast what type of person your dealing with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
