Did they get as far as posting tracking numbers on the purchases?

I used to avoid sellers that quoted long processing times in favour of ones with only a few days, but lately I have been going on their feedback more -looking for 'fast shipping' comments.

I have a pair of trainers on the way (amongst many other things, can't help it!) that quoted a 30 day processing window but they actually shipped quickly within 3 days as their feedback suggested likely to happen.

Have you tried messaging them on the item sale page? the china sellers always seem to respond well to a "Hello friend, I hope you can ship this item soon as I really need it and I look forward to doing plenty good business with you again, regards" or such, nearly always ships shortly after.

The items were all shipped late I have the same tracking number for two of the items that shows items were collected on the (from memory) 15 th November which is later than their stated shipping time . Tracking has not updated since then.

One of the claims (not the one with tracking )was closed in my favour this afternoon as apparently the seller has not responded.

In all cases I emailed the seller as soon as I got close to the buyer protection time running out, they either told me to wait or merely extended the shipping time.

I see, 15th Nov.. too long. When I have had things stall after initial tracking it turned out the items were returned to seller for some reason such as containing Lithium batteries that China Post won't carry or other restrictions. Perhaps the seller then just gave up! - your not trying to buy Uranium are you Soolin? :rotfl:

You do seem to have had bad luck, maybe its the nature of what your buying and the related sellers? I currently have 1 trainers, 2 clothing and 7 wrist watch items all on route nicely tracking and sent within a few days of ordering and thats just for fun...

Hope you get good outcomes.

I actually buy a lot, partly business, partly personal and mainly small bits for a charity I donate to. Overall I have no issues, but when it goes wrong it is a real pain as the buyer protection is nowhere near as good as they suggest

I got all my items delivered in time for Christmas and one I ordered on the 10/12/2014 came in time I did pay for ems shipping which was $15 but I found it worth it as the item I brought would normally be a lot more and that took 6 days

I am an idiot! Yesterday several very cheap watches arrived together (only cost £1 - £2 each so no big deal really) but its easy to be swayed by the big clear pictures on the listings and not check the dimensions!

The quality of them as daily wears are fine but they have huge faces, too big for my wifes small wrists. It was all clearly stated in the listings but I suffered 'Poundland fever' and was impetuous.

Anyone want to buy some small wall clocks? pretty designs.. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

For some reason they overtook the clothing on its way, and the trainers.

My items all arrived for christmas and a bag i ordered on the 17th for myself even arrived yesterday (29th) and it was the usual free shipping so i was very impressed considering the time of year. I've used the seller several times now for bags and every time they arrive within 2 weeks and the one time i had a problem, they refunded straight away

i ordered 2 very cheap watches which looked great in the photos but were like something out of a cracker with huge faces on them and the plastic front looked like it would break if it knocked against anything.
