How long from China?

Post by bag69 »

Ordered something off ebay. Been told it shipped on the 1st. Any idea when i might get it? It is coming by sea as far as i know. Only asking as ebay have sent an email saying listing has been withdrawn & do i want to make a claim. No idea if i need to yet or not. I know i deliver loads of stuff fron china each day, but never looked at any posting dates as to how long they take. Thanx in advance.

Most of mine takes about 2-3 weeks.

If its been withdrawn and they are offering a refund i would take it. I had this on something i ordered and the seller had his account removed. I got a full refund via Paypal and to my surprise the item turned up a week later :shock: I could not send the money back as he was removed :crazy: .
