    Consider that he does seem to have lots of good feedback... I've had a German shipment take two months.

    Thanks again gentlemen. I will give it until the end of the week and then , as I said previously, get into action. Not in today's mail either.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Jimmy, I had a poor experience buying from a seller in Bulgaria a couple of years ago, and have never bid on an item from that country since. I finally got the razor, but it took more than 2 months and I ended up dealing with someone in the US who got me the razor, about a week after my most "get tough" e-mail. I think that the US person was partners with the seller in Sofia. It was a very fine WW2 German surgical prep straight razor, with medical markings, and which I badly wanted, but I don't want to go through that kind of experience again.

    Send the seller a message asking when it shipped and if there was a tracking number.
    A polite question but inside the Ebay system.

    I just received a package from the UK that had been posted Apr 20 so the
    volcano did cause some backups. Of interest a different package
    from the UK posted a week later got here quicker so it might matter
    what type of alternate transport was used when and where they had to reroute
    things. It is not a first in first out thing for the most part.

    I have no answer to you as to how long it takes from Bulgaria to the U.S, but I can tell you that packages crossing the pond really varies in time, for some reason.
    Right now I'm expecting a packet from the U.S. that shipped on the 23 of April.
    Still nowhere to be seen
    (and the so called track and confirm thing from USPS is kinda.. well B*****t)

    The products I ordered from another vendor in the U.S.on the 29th however is already here, shipped via the same carrier.
    Living where I live tend to make you rather patient, I guess, as most of the products I buy come from the "New World".
    Thankfully Paypal (or AmEX) takes care of these things when they go sour.

    My advice to you would be to contact the seller ASAP. If you do not get satisfactory answers abruptly, I would open a case with eBay or your credit-card company.

    Ashes is ashes and all, but almost a month? I've never even been close to that long in shipping time across the pond. And my country isn't even a member of the EU, which slows things down even further..

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    Hi

    If not shipped via Fedex/DHL it will take forever (well, cca. 30-45 days), and I belive it's not, because shipping is only $12. I'm in the same boat as you, only diff. my item is from China (shipment is confirmed via track-trace.com).
    If the seller is not responding to your questions via ebay messaging system in 3-4 working days you should fill in the dispute, but only if you ask him via ebay system.

    The razor was waiting for me when I got home from work a little while ago. Thanks for all the suggestions and reassurances guys.
