Again, so sorry. If I could have even remotely predicted this I would have suggested you throw a couple more bucks at postage and sent it with a premium carrier service.

It's absolutely not your fault. I'm glad you haven't been offended with me asking about it. I was starting to get worried that I'd bought from a "suspect" seller, but you've been awesome in alleviating my fears. Thanks.
I'm guessing some of the delay was shipping during holiday season.
Hindsight is 20/20, if I'd thought about it I would have gone ahead and tossed a little more for premium.

Not a problem. I'm terribly disappointed in USPS in this respect. I won't use Parcel Select again for listings on eBay. My bad. I thought I was saving my buyer some money offering it for just a few more days of shipping time. Never in a million years did I imagine it would be from January 4 till now and you wouldn't already have it.

Using USPS to ship anywhere other than the continental US is never recommended because once it leaves the country, it then has to transfer to that particular countries postal service and that's where the delay happens. (Unlike FedEx or UPS which remains the same worldwide)

Agreed, except that @javajoe1982 is maybe half a day away by car. I could have hand delivered it to him 8 times over by now! [emoji15]

Wow. Guess I should've checked back in here. I missed all of the fun.
I usually skip notifications that someone has replied to an intro thread because it's usually just now people saying hello.
I learned a valuable lesson today.
Also, for my money, USPS taking is the worst out of all carriers I've had deliver things to me.

I've been buying & selling on Ebay, Amazon etc regularly for more years than I can count, and I've always had a good experience with USPS. I much prefer them over FedEx & UPS because their priority delivery (guaranteed two day) delivery is less than 6 bucks, next day is $18 depending on weight of course. (MUCH cheaper than the alternative)
I use USPS "priority" because living in a small town they can't do "next day" to/from my location, but they've always been on time with "priority" packages. That and they provide tracking numbers.
FedEx & UPS are simply too expensive for the same weight/delivery times.
Hopefully his pkg will arrive soon!

I'm honestly very surprised by this. I've ordered and sold many item through eBay or social media and have rarely had a problem with USPS. Every now and then there might be a slight delay, but this time it was just absurd.
