Anyone ever bought from colonialacrescoins on eBay?

If so, is their shipping always so slow? I bought and paid for a coin on 12/24 On 1/6 I sent them a message to see if the coin was shipped yet. On 1/7 I get a reply that it is scheduled to be shipped on 1/7. How convenient, scheduled to be shipped the day after I sent the inquiry.

This means they are shipping the coin 2 weeks after I paid for it. Is this typical for them? I know they are located in Canada but they are only about 40 miles from me. I probably should have asked to pick it up in person. Geez!

    Just once, 6 years ago. The coin arrived 10 days after payment according to my records.

  • I have found shipping to and from Canada to be unbelievably slow. Shipping time between the USA and China is usually faster.

    I realize the shipping time between Canada/US is slow. It's the taking 2 weeks to mail the coin out that bothers me.

    Don,

    They may be slow, but they are reputable IMO. The coin will show or they will make it right.

    Name rings a bell, though I can't recall any transactions offhand.

    Three weeks to a month overall is my itchy point. If it took them two weeks to process it, that's slow, but not unforgiveable.

    I've done worse to some folks here in the past. image

    The past two weeks also included two major holidays.

    As long as you get it soon, I wouldn't be too upset with them in the long run, I guess.

    On another topic entirely, I see you're feeling blonde again. image
