Amazon feedback for slowish dispatch

I ordered a CD through amazon UK from the US. It was ordered on a Saturday and not shipped until the next Friday. Not a problem but my inclination is to leave feedback of 4 (out of 5) and comment:

"New product as advertised, well packaged, 5 working days to dispatch".

Does that seem fair?

    That seems reasonable to me.

    A 4 out of 5 doesn't affect their percentage rating but is an accurate reflection of the service you received. :)
  • Seeing as Amazon tells sellers that they have to despatch within 2 days, you're being more than fair!

    Ive had 4 out of 5 and comments said, "great item, speedy delivery"

    so if the seller has taken that long to despatch i would give 3 out of 5, as stated above if are told to despatch in 1-2 working days,

  • 4/5 sounds reasonable to me.

    Amazon Feedback - I wish.

    Sold 2 items, and neither have left me with feedback. Thus, I am still listed as a new seller competing in a market with lots of big players.

    Needless to say, my sales aren't exactly rocketting on Amazon ...

    I didn't find my low initial feedback did me any harm.

    I have sold about 50 items, and now have just 11 5/5s. If sales have beenm slow lately I'm putting it down to the summer slump and the fact that all my good stuff is taken :)
