minifan Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I ordered something off of Ebay, (from a pretty reputable seller in the U.K.)...on Jan 22. It was marked shipped on Jan. 24th...it's now Feb. 8th...does it normally take this long to ship internationally? I contacted the seller, and she said that she doesn't have the tracking number, but she will email proof of postage...it went standard 2nd class... Is this normal shipping times and I'm panicking or should I panic for the right reason??? This is shipping from Warrington, United Kingdom to Massachusetts... all Ebay says is that it takes additional time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 It can take weeks. I'd give it at least through next week -- that would be 3 weeks -- before I'd start to panic. Then another week before I REALLY got upset! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was doing good...it's a Valentine's present for my little one...so I ordered it super early...but I guess at 2yearsold she won't really know the difference!!! :spoton: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The only things I've ordered have been sent Royal Air Mail, and came in about a week which I though was pretty good. I had expected longer. But, standard 2nd class, sounds slow. Good luck, Hope it comes soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Considering what the weather has been like at the major Eastern ports of entry, I think I'd try to be patient for a few more days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatter Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I ship out alot and the mail has been slow as of late. I always depends on how the item was shipped, ground is always going to be slower. I shipped an item to Italy from Canada and it took 2 months, that was through the christmas season though. I would try and be patient, i know its hard when your waiting for something. In my experience of sending out items, i have only ever had one go missing. Best of luck and hope it arrives in time!!!
