where are my jeans?

i bought a pair of jeans for charlie BIN on 19 august. i wouldnt normally worry about waiting for delivery but it states on the item that items will be posted within one day of the money clearing. i know its only the 23rd but there was monday and tuesday passed since then and ive got nowt. no feedback either though thats up to the seller if they leave it first.

so, if they never turn up how long should i leave it until taking the next step and what is the next step?

also would it be wrong of me to contact a buyer of the same item (though not sure if purchase was made the same day) to see if they have theirs?

    19th was Saturday so the first chance to post them would be Monday......it's only Wednesday now, give them a chance to get there lol

    If you haven't received anything by Friday, then I'd mail the seller and ask when they were sent.

    Wouldn't mail any buyers though, it's way too early to even think of that.

    You can that again! LOL

    Seriously, just hang on until Friday and if nothing has arrived by then, mail the seller to see when they have posted the item.

    With all the fuss on Monday because of the postal price changes, they might not have been able to have posted them until yesterday or even this morning.

    I posted an item out to someone (not jeans btw lol) on Friday, mailed them to say item had been posted by standard parcel post so should be 3-5days as advised by the post office, they mailed me monday to say they hadn't received it!! advised them again of above, they contact me yesterday (3rd working day) to say it had arrived, I'm pleased ob.,, but what it has done is effected the feedback, whereas I normally give really glowing fb, afraid this one just has prompt payment rec'd,smooth tranx. Don't hassle sellers within a couple of days of something being posted, as prev.stated, they couldn't post it until Monday at the earliest and then it has to get to you! I always put the boot on the other foot when I am waiting for something - still, at least you've admitted you're an impatient whatever so saves us telling you lol.I'm sure in the morning you'll be posting a "just arrived" post!

    still no sign of them.

    i looked at the auction and it ends on 27 august. ive a feeling there may be some kind of cokcup on this.

    a pair of used baby jeans. 3 available.

    on a BIN. one pair has gone to someone else who judging by feedback on the buyer and seller they havent been sent/received yet.

    sorry if im confusing anyone.

    ive mailed the seller asking if my paypal payment was received.

    sorry they've still not arrived, it does seem a bit confusing though, do you want to post the item number and someonce could take a look and maybe offer a better opinion?

    item number

    170020020431

    not a dicky bird from the seller yet. maybe he/she is on holiday.

    looking at their feedback recently left its for items won at the end of july. unless im missing something thats an awful long time between receipt of a item and the declared posting time.

    ps. my bad. they are listed as new.
