Anyone noticed Teletrade shipping slower?

Tiny

Use to get auctions fairly quick from them but for a while now it has been slow.
I called today about if some lots I won Sunday the 15th and she said they had
several thousand lots to ship and they got backed up and where shipped today.
Is this me or has anyone else had the same thing happen?

I've also won a coin on the 15th and got it today. Overall I thought their shipping has improved in the recent months.

It took them over two months to process a raw coin lot thru PCGS for grading and get it into auction (Teletrade Raw Coin Service). This was to take advantage of a zero percent sellers fee agreement they gave me. I put max bids on all the coins (to get the zero percent sellers fee deal) and only 30% sold. I then found on the unsold lots they will run thru future auctions three more times so if they don't sell I get charged $5 (max buy back fee) on each coin and this can add up. The question is will I have to choose between giving away the coins to sell them or keep on getting hit with buy back fees. In future bidding at TTR I certainly won't bid more than what it will take to get the coin at CDN bid after the juice bc if I have to bid higher its more likely I am bidding against a seller who put a buy back fee on it. I did win a coin there last week for 77% of CDN bid after the juice tackon of 15%. Four others I bid (paying no higher than CDN bid after the juice) on I did not win so the sellers can just take them back LOL.

Their shipments to me for purchases have seemed timely but my purchases have slacked off. I have been doing a lot of buying from David Lawrence Auctions lately as they have no buyers fee and free shipping. However their bidding is different than TTR - I put in a 150 bid on a coin that CDN is 150 (which they are currently reflecting with a bid of 60) and it told me it was too low and that a bid of 160 was required. Well if thats true why did it only show a bid of 60 to begin with. I did not like that - I did end up purchasing the coin at 160. Once I got used to their process then It went smoothly. They must have had some consignor who wanted 150 for the coin and that made me kick up the bid to 160 to buy as it was really nice. Some others I put in a bid of 10% back of CDN and it told I would have to bid higher and I simply passed on them. Let the consignor eat them then.

Mine have got here within a week and as long as they stay free I am happy.

Is the TeleTrade site working OK? I keep getting a message about cookies but can't seem to get it fixed

The TTR site works smoothly for me and runs better than GC or DL. I don't like the DL auction site at all either bc I am inexperienced or it just does not run as smoothly as TTR. It does not seem to have a smooth browse auction feature like TTR or works differently. Each site takes some experience and then one can develop the right strategy to deal with it. I have the most experience with TTR.

I won a coin on the 16th they shipped on the 20th and it was in my PO box on the 23rd. Not bad they are in CA I'm in PA.

Yep. Seems to be shipping a day or so later than they used to. Doesn't really effect me so I guess I didn't think much about it. They get here when they get here.

My latest purchase from them arrived yesterday. I had expected it sometime last week.

That huge "Stars & Stripes" auction they ran a week or two ago probably set them back a bit on shipping.
