How long should it take....

...for a forum user to send cards he sold on the BST board? I think 2 weeks is sufficient. I could handle waiting a little longer if he would reply to PM's or emails. I could even handle not receiving a response if he hadn't logged in about 5 times a day every day since I paid. Not to mention, posted more items for sale on the BST board.

I hope he reads this and knows I paid with a CC.

please allow 16-20 weeks for your redemptions

Well, Myself personally I pride myself in shipping within 24 hours of being paid by the buyer. I have found myself looking for postage in foreign cities while travelling, but make sure I get my items out in a timely manner. I can live with slow shipping, if the seller would at the very least communicate.

I ship everything within 24-48 hours of payment.

I don't ship Sats and Suns.

Death and hospitalization are the TWO explanations for delayed shipping
that I find reasonable.

Yeah, death would make it hard to get to the post office. I could accept that one.

I usually don't mind the seller waiting a week or so to send something and I tell them as much when I buy it. Most items I buy on the board are under $50 and I don't really feel the need to make the seller make a special trip to the PO for my item. That being said I have been buying/trading on these boards for over 6 years and I have never been ripped off (fingers crossed).

Sometimes weird things happen at the post office, but I'd like to think that anything would get shipped out (and psotmarked) within 3 business days of the payment, maybe 4 max . The not replying to emails and pm's would really bug me though. That makes it seem far worse than it may actually be.

Broadcast his user name in the thread title, that should get his attention.

I ALWAYS try to ship within 24 hrs. I know when I buy something I want it as quick as possible and I try to do the same for the customer.

2 weeks is way overboard. My goal is within 48 hours and I don't always meet that but it's within the same week. On a bigger item, I like to make sure the packaging is top notch which means a trip to my local packing store. I pay extra for it but they do a great job and I like the peace of mind of knowing it's secure.

He logged in again this morning. BTW, if I didn't mention it, I am one of three now that has not received the items we paid for.

i generally end auctions on sundays and ship the following wed/thursday for all that have paid. if they pay after my ship date, i'll get them the following week. it seems to work for the most part. i've had a couple of hiccups but they have normally been due to my shipping delays.

good luck.
