RA365881174RU

Hello there, im sender of this item RA365881174RU
which is undelivered for total 3 weeks, ebay buyer opened a claim against me and i can understand him. I made dozens of shippments to UK all of them were delivered from 10 to 14 days, exept this one. Should i count it as lost? Thank you for any advise.

I would check with your local postal operator: if it was going in the other direction, Royal Mail would consider it lost if it hadn't been delivered 5 weeks after sending. The postal service in Russia will probably have a similar policy. This means that if it doesn't show up there will probably be some process for claiming a refund from the Russian postal service.

On the eBay front, I would look very carefully at the local terms and conditions. You might have to offer a refund to the buyer after 3 weeks, but make sure. You sent it by a scanned service, which puts you in a stronger position than if you used normal airmail.

It might be worth checking that you have the buyer's address recorded correctly: it looks like it has got stuck on the way, so it could be that they supplied an incomplete or incorrect address to you.
