MA-Shops Time To Wait for Your Tracking Number?

ELuisELuis Posts: 1,063 ✭✭✭✭✭

Maybe someone here has bought it on their site.

First time after many years that I found this site, did my first purchase, went the route as a Guest, did not open an account.

Question: How many days can you wait or give to them to make the shipping of your coins and get a tracking number?

I think 2 or 3 days after you do the purchase, unless you end up doing it on a weekend.

Thanks.

    I'm still waiting for an order from a shop listed on MA-Shops from nearly 2 weeks ago. Reached out to the seller but haven't heard back yet.

    VCoins seems to be for the Americans and MA Shops for the Europeans. Many of the same coins listed on both sides but postage can be saved if bought from the correct shop.

    Yikes, 2 weeks is too much.

    Have bought coins from VCoins, just a few 3 or 4, but that was some years ago.

    Okay, I went and asked, the response was "You will get the tracking number once the package it is sent" That is obvious, but did not get when it will be sent. Anyway, so far now 3 days, I just hope to get some news by next Monday. will see.

    I order from MA Shops vendors on a regular basis. The providing of a tracking number seems to depend upon the diligence of the individual vendor. At most, sometimes I wait a week or so. I suspect that some vendors ship on a once per week basis, accounting for the delay. Two weeks seems an awfully long time, though.

    I’ve ordered there a bunch of times, some people don’t use the Mail systems for tracking and stuff. They just Mail it and it gets there when it gets there.

    I'm BACK!!! Used to be Billet7 on the old forum.

    Two months ago I saw a coin at Dirk Loebbers store. Hit the checkout
    using PayPal. This was at 10:30 am EST on a Tuesday. At 11:15, 45 minutes
    later, I had a thank you, invoice showing paid and a tracking number.
    The following Monday , 6 days later I had coin in hand. Pleased as punch.
    This type of service is the norm with MA Shops dealers.

    Still nothing, so I will see if by Monday I end up getting something.

    An update, just got today on Sunday a DHL shipment tracking number, so looks like all good.

    I got an update today, Sunday, as well. They asked me how I made payment so hopefully they just overlooked my payment.

    Peace

    I got good news today. There was an automatic error connecting my payment to the coin.
    Coin will be shipped tomorrow with tracking number. Phew!!

    Peace

    So, in my case it took 5 days to get a tracking number, now the package is on their way, hope that all end up good.

    Interesting my coins package was on a DHL shipment, when arrived to the USA changed to USPS, did not knew that, good:

    Your item arrived at our USPS facility in QUEENS NY DISTRIBUTION CENTER on June 12, 2024 at 10:34 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

    13 days - The package was delivered today.

    Just to compare, coins I have bought in Europe normally have taken between 6-8 days, so 13 days is alright. This was delivered from Germany.
