    Default What Would You Do...

    If you had won an auction for a Hen & Rooster Razor on 23 December 2009 and immediately paid $35.50 plus $5.00 shipping through PayPal (funds received);With the understanding "Will usually ship within 4 business days of receiving cleared payment". And, after leaving 2 messages with no response from the seller "bruinarms" with 100% feedback who has been on 'dbay since 2000; And, Today is 28 December 2009.

    What would you do?

    Be patient. It's the holidays. Maybe they shouldn't have listed it when they did, if they weren't prepared to be there to answer replies, but don't panic yet.

    I usually throw the flag after a month.

    With the holidays and such, I wouldn't sweat until mid January.

    I know that my post office was closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas, and on Saturday after Christmas. If his was similarly managed, that means he'd have to get it out the same day in order to have shipped it this soon. As was mentioned, I doubt that you have much to worry about.

    He might actually have shipped it - even if he shipped immediately it wouldn't have reached you yet. But as said by others, he's probably busy with holidays and might be out of town dealing with family and not seen your messages yet.

    I ordered a new str8 on Dec. 6 and received it today, Dec 28. The seller said due to the holidays it may take 3 -4 weeks to get here......from China! I wasn't really expecting it until after New Years. Things are always slow during the holidays except bills, for some reason they are never late. Hang in there.

    If the seller is in the midwest they have been getting hammered with winter storms too. Might have lost his internet for the time being. Five years ago I was without electric for 12 days once and 10 days another time due to storms.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I know we had internet difficulty during this recent snowstorm.

    Agreed, give the seller some time.. like mentioned before there are so many vairiables that could be the reason for the delay.
