Thread: Did I get burned?

A month to ship from Canada isn't unusual. Regardless of the class of shipping.
Not sure how American Customs works, but I've had Canada Customs hold onto things for weeks.

Just tried to find that razor in current or completed listings, and couldn't find it...maybe he's biding his time before posting it again, but having sold a few razors on eBay myself, I don't know if I'd find it worth the hassle--I'm usually happy to see them go for the fair market price by the time the bidding ends.

I think it's more likely that it took him a while to get around to putting it in the mail...not that I would be familiar with such a thing, since I always promptly ship

Right! Be patient remain cool and calm. I swear this feeling is similar to waiting in a delivery room. By the way that's a nice razor. That tiny chip in the toe will be easy to fix. Nice find, that seller has some real goodies. I refuse to look at his store this month because the RAD and his items are too much of a bad formula for me.

Thanks, especially those of you who have bought from him. I'll breathe slowly and be patient. I know it's only $26, but I just dont' like the idea of getting taking for a ride. Plus, I know this should be a good deal in the end....if it ever arrives. I've gotten stuff from China faster than this.

Exactly 2 weeks from the date of purchase I finally received my well packaged $36 Boker today from that seller. Again you will be okay it's just the courier he uses. He's a good seller I'll give him a chance to work this aspect of the deal out. Now i have to figure out a way to clean up the stains on top of that beautiful gold wash on the blade. NO MAAS this time!

Nice, don't forget to post when your done. I would like to see that cleaned up.

I've shipped many things in and out of Canada and the mail is very slow. I always expect a month minimum. Once it reaches the U.S it's fast.

I hope you didn't get burned - because I just won an auction from him on a DD on the 28th and I received notification today that it has shipped. I'd hate to think this could become a pattern.

One of the posters mentioned this seller sends signature required - Stop by the local Post Office and see if they do have the package.

I've had a few packages "delivered" when no one home to sign for. No card left behind with advisement to pick up at the Post Office. I never knew it was sitting at the Post Office waiting for me.

For me, generally 2 to 3 weeks from Canada. For what it's worth, I get packages from the UK generally less than half the time than I do from Canada when sent to me in Aizona.

That has a damaged toe and is rescaled, so that probably is market price, so I really doubt he'd hold out for a better price. I've had to wait weeks for razor from Canada too.
