Next thread is going to be a question as to why it took 5 days for his ground shipment to arrive from Idaho...

They could, but it isn't moving anywhere until Sunday night...

And you purchased an item that the seller clarified it would take up to 3 business days to ship.

right, because like any normal logical thinking person, i thought it would be perfectly reasonable to expect a package to start the delivery process a day after payment was cleared. On a day where postal offices are open



My bad

A normal, logical thinking person is aware Business days means Monday-Friday. Your bad indeed.

Why should i pay for a frick up on the sellers side?



You know there's a handling time too right? It's probably 3 business days to take it to the post office and ship it. I blame the impatient buyer. I blame YOU.

He doesn't have to. The seller has a certain time frame to mail the item. It's not always as soon as they receive payment. You need to learn what a BUSINESS day is too.

You realize the eBay seller is probably just a regular person and not an actual business? I always do two day shipping on my items but I sell a pretty decent volume. 3 business days is reasonable.

Did you really not know what a business day is?

I would have expected it to ship by Wed if purchased on Friday.

It's not the seller's fault you think you're a normal logical thinking person when you are unable to fricking grasp the commonly accepted notion of business days.

In my experience some sellers are reluctant to pay for overnight but always relent when you give tem a bad rating

unless it says it will ship in 3 business days. then most normal logical people would think Wednesday.

You suck! I sell on Ebay and I HATE when some douche like you wins an item. It says very clearly in the auction when I will ship. Why should you get special treatment for your inability to read what is posted?

That's pretty shitty to hold someone hostage because you want overnight shipping that they didn't even offer.
