How long after purchase of item should you expect item to be shipped? Not items that need special shipping ( crate or oversized boxes) Smalls that would fit in oversized envelope.

I try to ship all of my stuff out that day or the next day. I would say anything faster than 3 days is acceptable.

I ship everything with 48 hrs...most within 24 hrs. and provide tracking number immediately upon shipping. Dave

I ship the next day after payment. Most go priority , so the buyer usually receives the item within 4 days of payment.
Unless there is a holiday or Sunday involved.
I would say a week is plenty of time unless it takes special packing.

I usually try to ship the next day or so, but you also have to face the fact that some people sell so much that they only ship one day a week. Or they may live in a place where they actually have to go to the post office to even mail a letter. I know that seems out there but it still happens.

Same or next day always

I think, it depends on who you are dealing with. Most businesses and e-Bay sellers clearly stipulate their shipping times. Most private sellers, that sell regularly are set up to ship everyday and are more efficient and have a system in place.

On the other hand there are those like me. I don't like packing or shipping items simply because I'm not set up for it and don't do enough of it. Therefore it is always a chore and takes me a while to get it done. For me packaging and shipping is very time consuming and is one of the reasons why I don't sell on e-Bay or the web.

Being aware of this; when I buy items, I'm a lot more lenient with sellers. Most of the items I buy are collectibles and I buy them for my pleasure/fun and try not to allow them to create stress in my life. For me that would defeat the purpose of collecting.

So two weeks is a little much even if you're a little busy for small items? I paid PP gift like asked not much $27 All I want is item a least shipped and I will wait for Post office to deliver.

where is it coming from

i sent a money order to someone 2 day proirty and it took 4 days from what i heard in my area they are trying to stop usps on sat and all my mail goes to the main post office 2 towns away then dispatched out of there and anything big they deliver in a different truck not a usps truck and it comes at different times all the time

soon as its paid for, next day unless stated..

Marky if its first class or priority they have to move it no matter what. I don't think USPS will stop Sat. delivery it will cost to much in OT.on Monday. Piece is coming from Indiana.
