Whats a reasonable time to wait for bits?

[Pickle]

I brought some XT bits for my current build last weekend (so 23/24 Aug) and still not sign of them, with the seller not picking up my 'where is my stuff' PM :x

Am I being impatient....... :? Is it just me wanting to get the bike ready for the weekend?

How long should I give it before I say 'bugger it, give me my money back'.

 

[Err]

If if i need something quickly i ask if they can post it promptly.

But yeah, that's pushing it. I think within the uk i'd expect stuff to be posted within 3-4 days, so you should receive it within a week, ten days max. Beyond that i start to think where's my stuff.

I generally work on the it gets here when it gets here system. No rush, No stress, No hassle that's the way i live nowadays

I like to think a week max, then PM the seller

If the seller has already posted it - start worrying its lost in post .

I always like to think if I sell something, get it out the same or next day cos I don't own it anymore and someone is waiting for it.

saying that I have a PO over the road unlike most folk :?

I try and get stuff out in next day or two. Sometimes two or three days for post :roll: so week is reasonable.
10 days not excessive, but keep the mails nice. After all, they hold all the cards

There are times when I have been really crap posting something out for various reasons. With work/family and crappy PO hours its easy for a few days to go by where things just overtake you. I do try and communicate though and always answer questions as soon as poss.

whomever buys off me - be prepared to wait...

it'll be worth it, just be patient


however - If I buy anything, it has to be here YESTERDAY!!!

I've been spoilt on here up till now.

The first few bits arrived really quick, and now I'm waiting on a couple of bits that have been a week or so.

I'm getting good seller communication though, so not worried.

Would that be because you havn't found it in a skip yet :?: :roll:

Only kidding of course fella

Some people are quick and some are slow, i personally like to post the items i sell next day (keep everyone happy) . . . . Bought some XTR hubs from a fellow Retrobiker in Portugal and they arrived in 4 days (Great Service) and some fellow local retrobikers might aswell strap the gear i buy on the back of a Donkey with a dodgy GPS it takes that long! But most are great Swings and roundabouts!

Beginning to think I may have been had......

PM still not picked up, and I've sent an email via their site Profile tab and personal email.

Nothing.

I may be throwing my dummy out of the pram too early, but its the lack of communication that worries me. Every other seller I have dealt with has been ace on the communication front.

I think I'm also worried because I spent a fair amount on money on the gear :roll:

Anyone have any experience of dealing with PayPal to get money back if the seller goes AWOL and the goods dont show?
