Hello, quick question- I bought a bra on the 11 october and realised after that it was coming from china, was just wondering how long should i expect to wait for. It was only £2.50 p&p

    anything up to two weeks really depending on whether by air or land/ sea/
  • Could even take longer than 2 weeks. Let's hope it hasn't been sent via surface mail...that takes up to 2 months. :eek:

    I would email the seller and ask them how it was sent. (remember you only have up to 45 days to do a chargeback through Paypal.)

    We regularly order from China and airmail can be very fast especially with a carrier. Do you know who it is being sent by?

    no not a clue who it is being sent by, i paid by paypal, i shall email them and ask them when and how it was sent. I only noticed after auction ended that it was from china ( i have it set so i only recive auctions from within the u.k) I am a bit dubious about buying from ebay after a few bad expiriences, so now i'm just feeling wary. His feedback is good though so i guess ill just hang on.

    hang in there, oddly enough, as sellers, the chinese seem outstandingly up front and honest, you do only get 45 days with paypal to start an item not received process though

    I've spent 10x as much as I would if I had never discovered this website :-)
