I'm getting sick with worry, I had a package shipped 3 weeks ago today from France and it's not here yet. I did pay for insurance and tracking and all that stuff, cuz I bought 5 htf G2 babies and I wanted to make sure I didn't lose any money. I trust the seller as I've bought from her several times in the past, and I am not upset with her in any way... I'm just so ticked that in this day and age it takes so long to get a package! It was a bigger box shipping express... she mailed another package in a bubble mailer a week after shipping the first one, and I got that bubble packed one the middle of last week.

Oh, I was told by my postmaster that now when you ship an ebay package internationally that you need to bring your transaction sheet to put with your customs form as proof of value.

Put my mind at ease please, how long have you waited before recieving a package?

Oh..I am so sorry for you. I know this. I am still waiting for a package from the US. It was shipped on the 7th January and it´s still not here.
I´ve paid for insurance too because it´s a rare one and I´ve made so many bad experiences in the past without insurance.

Last year a package from Canada took 6 weeks.

I know that the customs sometimes take them for a while before sending it to the new owner.

Anyway I HATE it to wait so long for a package. This makes me always nervous.

I had to wait 6 weeks for a package from the US once. I don't know why it took so long. I think it depends a lot on how pissy customs is. Right now in Canada they are apparently doing a lot more random checks than usual.

Hopefully your ponies will arrive soon.

I think the longest I had to wait was 2 weeks from Canada. It is hard waiting sometimes. I really hope it gets there soon for you.

I've had parcels take an extremely long time to come from overseas before, and when they have arrived they've been shipped surface mail by mistake, even though they have a big airmail sticker on the front! Huh

Ditto! And what sucks worse is that you paid for the airmail shipping. If you want cheap shipping, then you know you will be waiting forever. But when you pay for speed.......

Speed. Does that worst even exist in the postal system?

I've waited 4-6 weeks for a package to arrive from the UK. I think customs holds things up. You'll get the ponies, don't worry.

Yeah, I ve waited a month sometimes almost 2 months for packages from the USA. It always had something to do with customs holding it up. I hope you get your ponies soon.

I had this happen as a seller. I had shipped to MOC G3 ponies to Brazil from the US. It took nearly 4 months to get to my buyer. Luckily my buyer was willing to work with me and we kept in constant communication. I was about ready to do a partial refund for the ponies when the ponies finally arrived to their destination. All we can figure is that they got caught in some customs loop and took forever.
