You ever get impatient waiting for your shipment of PMs?

Only to realize your seller was in the middle of the horrible east coast snow storm. LOL image

I hope other his other eBay customers don't slam him on stars. Sometimes patience is needed in events out of the seller's control. image

    When I checked my shipping status UPS had a message that my package will be late delivering my ebay 10 oz bars due to "severe weather". Not a big deal since I pretty much know what to expect.

    The supplier cashed my check long before the snow job.

    Mail hasn't been delivered since Friday. Although my PO was open for walk in business today, it did not deliver any mail. The snow emergency roads are plowed, but most of the residential areas are not. It might be Wednesday before regular mail service resumes. Compliments of the East Coast blizzard of 2016. 25"+ of snow is a b-tch to clear. I advised all of my buyers to expect postal delays, however, I'm not sure if ebay will take that into account when the item is not scanned on the shipping date.

    I'm always buying something, whether PM's, Numi's, motorcycle and guitar parts.

    I usually follow tracking numbers, however, I have received a few things that I 'almost' forgot purchasing.

    Makes it like Christmas Day.

    I'd only get nervous if I needed to get stuff sold before spot price went south OR if I ship something and it's not insured.

    Bullion is not USPS insurable unless you use registered mail. Even private insurance like that from www.shipandinsure.com is not cost effective for a casual shipper.

    Trying to maintain patience. Been 7 days and still not even printed a shipping label. Of course not all sellers print shipping labels, but this person is high volume and I can't see high volume sellers hand-writing on envelopes. Not sure, but I'll inquire if no sign of anything by Saturday.

    Maybe they don't have it on hand to ship. They might be waiting for more from the RCM.

    Oh, this isn't the RCMs. It's a different seller in southeastern Penn. I'll fire them a message on Saturday. Considering they were in the middle of that mess there's no telling what they're dealing with.
