I 'won' a Duck Special#1 on April 17th and haven't seen it yet. Nazo says that he mailed it registered on April 19th. Anyone had to wait as long as that to receive their razor from this seller? He still has 100% feedback. :confused: That is going from Turkey to the USA .
I think it took about 4 1/2 weeks to get my Filarmonica from him.You're about a week past that so you should certainly expect it anytime.
I have be patient it will come. takes a lot longer then we get used to it .
think I heard complaints about transit time from Turkey before
4-6 weeks IIRC
Just to protect yourself, I'd still put in an "item not received" notification in ebay. That way you are protected if it doesn't show. If it does, then you just cancel it.
I did that once with a razor box. The guy swore he sent it but after a month passed for a shipment between Illinois and Iowa, I was pretty suspicious. I put in the report, ebay/Paypal "reserved" my payment, and when the box showed up two weeks later (six total) I canceled my complaint so he got his money back. BTW, the shipping label showed he sent it four days before I received it.
Your razor likely is in transit, but you want to do the notification before it's too late to file it. When/if it shows up, you can cancel it with no harm done.

does a complaint that's pending affect the sellers rating? if it does affect it then does it go back to normal if you then subsequently cancel the complaint?
Thanks Ron, that is exactly what I did. Paypal allows 45 days to file a dispute and once it is made another 30 to either accelerate it to a claim or cancel it.It won't affect the seller's rating. Only my leaving a negative feedback on ebay will do that.
When I bought from him, I got my razor in 2 weeks, the second was 3-4. I haven't bought anything from him since basically because he hasn't had what I have been looking for.
(Don't ask me what I have been looking for. I'd have to go all metaphysical on you. Too much work for me, too little return for you)
that's all well and good but you have no location sir
Thanks for calling that to my attention.
I am in Wisconsin.
My profile is edited to reflect that.
I don't know about Turkey, but I'm in the region, and I've had packages I sent to the US take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks to arrive.
Come to think of it, one may have taken closer to 8 weeks.
That's the thing, it does not affect the seller in any way other than to put a hold on his payment. There is no feedback/reputation issue at all. A shipment may genuinely be delayed or lost in transit through no fault of the seller but if you wait 45 days before complaining, you're out of luck. If the item shows up, you notify ebay and the seller gets his money. If it does not show up, you get your money back and the seller deals with the shipping recovery and/or monetary loss, not you.Quote:

I think I may just need to do that. I bought a Morley Chopper and got 2 Durham Duplex.:confused:
I picked up 5 or 6 razors from Nazo in the past - all earlier this year. I'd buy from him again. I've gotten my stuff in relatively short timeframes considering it's shipping from Turkey. If it hits over 3 weeks though I'd start to be concerned.
He's been reputable for me so far though. Sounds like the postal system but if I recall, he ships via registered mail so there should be good tracking internally to the Turkish and US systems as all those guys have to sign and acknowledge the package moving through their buildings.
Paypal ruled in my favor this morning and said they would put the funds in my account within 5 days. I feel bad for the seller as I don't doubt that he mailed it but after 1 week shy of 2 months and no sign of the tracking # in the USA system I am glad that Paypal backed me up. If it should miraculously show up I will pay the seller once it does but I think it is probably lost or pilfered.
Since you brought up the thread again. Even though I did receive my razor from Nazo, after getting it to shave ready condition, I cannot recommend him. At least for razors that are under $100 or not NOS. It took forever to hone and a while to get to me. In the end it was not worth the money I paid. At least to me. It would probably be fine if I were a collector.
6/8 Dorko $70
7/8 Elosef $35
5/8 Iberia $40
All showed up in good shape and are in my rotation. FWIW, my luck has been OK. I think he isn't going to accept my offer on his Dovo, but he has another 24 hours to go.
I too am still batting a thousand with Nazo. He's so far taken all of my offers an sent exactly what I expected to get.
Jimmy I'm sure glad to hear you got refunded. Unfortunately no razors - but it's good to hear you'll send the cash to him should they arrive. I hope we're all as stand-up about things like that! I like to think that as a community here that we're setting the example of honesty an integrity for those to follow. Good show man!
I have bought three razors from this seller. One arrived within a week, nice Filarmonica at a good price. The other two, however, have not yet arrived and it has been almost 2 months. Seller has said he filed papers with USPS claiming lost item. It makes resolving things a little more difficult that this seller is not fluent in english. I waited over 45 days to bring up the problem with eBay or Paypal, thinking it is just taking a while to come from so far; don't make this mistake, you will not have an easy time gettting your money back from them unless you file within 45 days, as other posts in this thread point out. Possibly, the items are stuck in customs? I've bought a lot of razors from international sellers on eBay, and this has never happened to me before. I will update this post if I receive these items.
Well, as posted above I received my refund but so far , over two months later, the razor has never shown up. Just one of those things. I too have ordered from international sellers, either through the internet or ebay, many times with no problems until this one went awry.
My most recent purchase (Dovo Fritz Bracht 6/8 $30 + shipping) came yesterday - 10 days after mailing.
Now to clean and hone it up.
Well, i just bought a Dixie from Nazo...should be interesting to see what the shipping time is.
