Thread: Solid washers from Romainia

I ordered these washers about 8 weeks ago. Found them on ebay with some help from members here on this site. I still havent got them. If you ordered these before, how long did it take for them to show up? I dont want to give the guy a hard time knowing they are coming from around the world on regular post but, id like to have an idea of when to call it quits and request a refund. They were the solid cone shaped washers that a few guys have tried.

Anyone?

I would send him an email at this point. 2 months is a long time for an envelope. What was the delivery time estimated to be?

FWIW, I bought a brush (Morris & Forndran) from Romania a year ago and delivery took about 2 weeks.

I'm in a different country from you, so my circumstances are a little different.
Mail from Europe, unless it is an expedited parcel, is a wide range of normal. It can be anywhere form a couple of weeks to three months. That is a very wide window and I have no idea on the how and why of it all. It does not seem to me to be peak season, but recently a razor from Spain was about 10 weeks.

I did contact him a couple weeks ago but he said it could take a bit longer. Ill contact him again for a refund. The date exspected has past by a couple weeks. I guess i should quit being cheep or nice.

Double checked. The date for delivery is past and its been 6 weeks. Ill give him another 2 weeks but then that it. Ill contact him and let him know this too.

If I recall he ships for next to nothing. That would be slow-boat in an envelope.
Seems mine took a long while to get to Texas. Worth the wait, though!

Seems a good guy.

While I haven't ordered from him as you've seen the shipping from various countries overseas varies quite a bit. Hell a package from Canada can take 10 days to 2 weeks.

Have patience and give it quite awhile more. As has been pointed out he ships for very little funds so it's not coming 2 day USPS Priority Shipping.

And on the plastic washers/no I haven't tried them so I'm no help there.

And longer depending on where in Canada you ship to or from!

Its took about a month to get bone blanks for Rez. But i think he was holding out on me. You know how those Canadians can be.
Kidding aside. Im happy i now got them. I have one razor in the works that will need them. I havent got far on it and with my work, its hard to find time. Or should i say the wifes list gets in the way. Ha.
