When you win on teletrade

Do you pay right away? Does it make a difference in how soon they ship?

How about combined shipping? If you have something that you are watching/bidding on in an upcoming (next auction or two) auction, do you wait and do they allow you to combine shipping?

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • I don't know for sure, but I would assume that if you waited a week to pay, they would wait a week to ship.

    Also, I don't know if they would combine shipping. You would probably get charged a separate shipping charge for each auction win.

    I always pay right away, but it still takes them a while (couple days) to ship.

    Same here, so far, Paul. I usually pay within a day, but am not a frequent buyer. This time, I am right here and saw the close....won all 3 so I must have overpaid image
    (Toned Roosies for my son...not all are even FB image ) so I was thinking of paying right now but am too lazy to go downstairs for my wallet/CC.
    I would if I knew they would ship immediately though image

    They do not combine shipping and send reminder emails if you have not paid within 48 hours.

    I never really asked about combined shipping so I really do not know for sure. Perhaps an email to Irma is in order so you can set us all straight.

    Or at least me.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Hi Ron -

    I can't answer your question directly, but I have noticed that when I pay using PayPal (vs a regular credit card trans), it seems like it takes longer to get the "your coins have shipped email", and longer to get the coins. I think I've paid using PayPal five or six times, and each time there seemed to be a delay of 2 or 3 days.

    There may be other factors at work here, but I'm paranoid to the point where I'll only now pay using a credit card. The extra few days kill me!

    Maybe they have a line of code in their website like this:

    If chUser = 'Dave99' and chPayMethod = "PP"
    BEGIN
    Set dtShipDate = dtShipDate + 3
    SET chChumpFlag = 'True"
    END

    ?

    Dave

    Heh...they do the same to me, Dave.
    I did paypal once or twice, for no reason other than it was there, and it delayed it by an extra 2-3 days it seems. So, I have just done CC after that.

    My personal experience has always been that TT ships coins to me quicker than any other auction house. I usually pay within 24 hours.

    I get my coins from Teletrade by stagecoach, I pay right away and it seems I get my coins about 4/7days later. I wonder when someone will invent something that flies like a bird. Maybe a Hot air balloon to deliver mail faster.image

    My experiences with Teletrade have nearly always been extremely fast. I can win a coin on a Sunday auction, paypal it, and have it show up on Wednesday or Thursday. With most other major auction companies, it might be Thursday or Friday before I even hear from them that it will ship the following week.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.
