I asked this in another thread but rather than hijack that I figured i'd ask this here. I purchased a Rapunzel PTN pin off ebay from a seller in Luxembourg at the end of January and I was told they were shipping it out on the 31st. Seeing as there's no way to track the package, i'm wondering when I should start worrying and what, if anything, should I do?

This is my first oversea purchase not from a DPF member so I have no idea what to expect. The seller had 100% positive feedback, so if anything i'm worried about it possibly getting lost :anxious:

Although, a trade from Florida took about a week to get here...the postal system here is so screwed up right now I have no idea what's normal! :lol:

Thanks!
 
We have done trades with people from Hong Kong, France, Belgium, the UK and Germany, and have purchased items on ebay from the UK. Shipping times have varied from 1 week to 6 weeks, so I would not worry just yet. :)
 
Thanks! :) I've heard there's a large range for delivery times, I think i'm just anxious to add another Tangled pin to my collection lol!
 
Yeah, I'm also waiting on the Rapunzel booster set I bought and the PTN's I traded for that were shipped around the 31st as well. I wouldn't worry just yet. I'm also waiting on a POH pin that was supposed to ship three weeks ago and still isn't here!!! That one I'm losing patience with.....mail is definitely clogged up right now....
 
Hi Brittany - don't panic just yet!! Some of the packages I sent at the end of last year took anything up to 5 weeks to reach their new owners - in fact I'm still waiting for confirmation that packages have arrived to a few members from December & January. Typically it should take just over a week UK - US, Luxembourg is a new one on me! Don't forget your purchase is covered if you used Paypal!

Paypal is still new to me so I didn't know that, thanks! That makes me feel a lot better :) I remember thinking that I got my pin from you way sooner than I thought I would (which is still one of my favorite pins - thanks again!)

erudolf, i'm also waiting on the Tangled booster set - I check my mail obsessively, it's driving my family crazy! I'm finding that the packages I thought would arrive first are more often than not the ones that arrive last. My FL trade for example - The pins I sent out arrived within 3-4 days while the pins that were coming to me took a week. I give up trying to figure out the mail :lol:
 
I am still waiting for a trade that was mailed January 9. I know mine got there (going the other way) and I am more than a little antsy! It is going on 6 weeks now. When do quit waiting and decide it's not coming? Also, is there an equivalent of Delivery Confirmation, or some number that shows a package was mailed?
 
My tangled booster set came today so now I'm just waiting on my PTN trade! :) I bet you get your booster set soon! ;)
 
Hahaha brittany, your tangled booster set was posted on Thursday so hope it will turn up next week, average postage from ireland is about 1-2 weeks or so I have found lol

Thanks Danny! :) That means it's time to find another board because my Tangled pins won't fit in the frame I made anymore lol
 
She's here! She's here! :chip:

Apparently all I needed to do was post for her to come :lol:

Don't worry yet - I am still waiting on a pin from the UK that was shipped 2 weeks ago, but after reading all the recent posts on slow overseas mail delivery, I'm not going to worry about it too much until after the 4 week mark.
 
hehehe happy she came and its always the way when you post about a pin not turning up they turn up the same day or the next day XD

very nice pin I kept one of her myself haha
