How long should it take to get a check snail mail?

bestclser1 · April 22, 2011 6:49AM

Has to do with BST thread.Thanks for any and all feedback.

A week maybe ? I made the mistake of walking out to the mailbox twice this morning before i realised its a holiday.

TWQG · April 22, 2011 6:54AM

I like it in my hand within five business days and state that in my terms.
Most first class mail gets across the good ol USA within 2-3 days.
I've been strung along for weeks too many times.

That has generally been the case, but I shipped two groups of coins on Sat, one to TX, one to CA, and as of last night neither
received their coins (from FL) yet. I did get one check last night, from a party that mailed it Sat....so, maybe things are a bit slow at the
PO this week?

questor54 · April 22, 2011 7:14AM

It varies.

JamesMurray · April 22, 2011 7:17AM

YaY

I can add that i recieved an item (coin) from a fellow member here all the way from the edge of the west coast and i'm near the shore of the east coast. 4 days is pretty good going , a big thank you to the member in question who'll i'll pm to thank personally.Mailed the 18th,in hand the 22nd.

bestclser1 · April 22, 2011 7:35AM

My checks seem to get to folks when i say they will,and i make other arrangements if neccesary BEFORE i make a deal.This guy also had no references as well.

TWQG · April 22, 2011 7:37AM

I hope you haven't sent product yet.

This is a not a Holiday, so, therefore, you should get mail if mail is due you.

JamesMurray · April 22, 2011 7:56AM

Yeah , thanks , the mail was there ..just a bit late was all. Id asked young'uns why no school and was told a holiday so wrongfully assumed there would be no mail.

16DMERC · April 22, 2011 8:09AM

First class is usually 4 days max anywhere in lower 48....but I'm expecting 2 that were sent on Monday that still aren't here...and these are regular customers that I know sent on Monday, and they usually get here in 3.....so it might be something to do with this week, even though there has been no closings....go figure

bestclser1 · April 22, 2011 8:28AM

Well this is 3 days,and no i havent sent product,but first time it has taken that long from metro east coast area,and my folks live 10 minutes from the new customer and it takes 2-3 days even in bad weather.No i havent sent product.

Monstarcoins · April 22, 2011 8:31AM

I am sure its just a miss understanding

ColonialCoinUnion · April 22, 2011 8:33AM

<< Well this is 3 days >>

And you think it is overdue? 3 days does not seem like a very long time to me.

bestclser1 · April 22, 2011 8:41AM

I am just getting feedback,and there seem to be alot of misunderstandings lately,but i always hold up my end.

Monstarcoins · April 22, 2011 8:45AM

The good news is PM's never disappear so if you absolutely have to you can use them to fall back on.

LindeDad · April 22, 2011 8:59AM

Back when checks were the preferred way to do eBay the rule was to wait ten days before doing any thing. I know for a fact that if I put a check or anything else in the pick up box at the end of the road right now it's not going anywhere until tomorrow afternoon a day lost just to get it to my local post office that is ten miles away.

Bochiman · April 22, 2011 9:23AM

I have had checks take 10-14 days using USPS before.
The postmark showed the actual day I mailed it and the recipient didn't get it until 10-14 days AFTER that.

thisnamztaken · April 22, 2011 9:30AM

In my experience, a letter mailed from coast to coast in the US normally takes 3 days minimum and up to 5-6 working days maximum.

ambro51 · April 22, 2011 9:36AM

it usually always takes about three days after the procrastinating liar actully drops it in the mailbox.

Monstarcoins · April 22, 2011 9:48AM

<< it usually always takes about three days after the procrastinating liar actully drops it in the mailbox. >>

Ouch! I have had nothing but good deals here on the BST. I am going to assume others havent been as lucky

ambro51 · April 22, 2011 10:02AM

not meant to be a reference to anyone on this forum; simply a knee jerk reaction thinking about the fellow that owes me $1250 for a camera who "dropped it in the mail last week". Uh huh. that after a long drawn out explanation of why he didnt use paypal etc etc...

AUandAG · April 22, 2011 10:09AM

<< A week maybe ? I made the mistake of walking out to the mailbox twice this morning before i realised its a holiday. >>

I agree with the week part, but it was not a postal holiday and we got and sent mail from our home today!

Happy Easter weekend everyone!!

pontiacinf · April 22, 2011 11:16AM

this should be on the bst

you did not sell it here and the obvious heat you are trying to put on whomever doesnt belong here
either. PERIOD

bestclser1 · April 22, 2011 11:48AM

Sorry,but i will honor my end as always.

BigE · April 22, 2011 11:48AM

Earlier this month, a check that was mailed to me from Dallas (sent First Class) took 11 days to get to South Carolina - mailed April 1st, arrived April 12th.

blu62vette · April 22, 2011 11:57AM

3 days is nothing to worry about. Give it time.

Coinlearner · April 22, 2011 12:31PM

...."3 Days"......After a week PM the buyer to inquire.....Packages move faster than envelopes, I have experienced......Dozens of times I get a BST sellers' coins 2-3 days before my personal check arrives............Maybe consider Paypal only if do not like the wait.

ProofArtworkonCircs · April 22, 2011 2:39PM

I once had a check from a brokerage house take months to reach me. They claim it was in a lost mail bag. The check was replaced before I got the original.
