The current trades I'm involved with (9) are all taking an extremely long time to arrive on my partners end. In most cases, I mail first and I'm still recieving mine many days before they get thiers. I've had 6 that were mailed over a week ago and still no sign. The only trades that have been completed in a normal time frame have been package trades. I wonder if PWEs take that much longer. I'm getting a bit concerned.

I have a couple that are taking some time to arrive at my end. But not the first time; most likely not the last. But I do hope to have 4 trades waiting for me when I get home from holidays.

I've only completed one trade to Canada. My package came in 4-5 days. Theirs took 11-12 days to arrive! That person only lives about an 8 hour drive from where I live.

I've had a few eBay purchases lately come in very slowly. Usually once it arrives in Phoenix the cards are usually delivered the next day. The last card I received a day late because it took two days after being in Phoenix to be delivered. There was a package that made me chuckle with being late. Was sent on the February 12th, on the 13th through 15th the tracking said it was on it's way to Tempe. On the 17th, the tracking said it arrived at a Detroit, Mi Distribution Center. The eBay seller was from Brighton, Michigan.

I mailed two 2 PWE to EBAY customers on the same day. I live in NJ. The one to San Diego took 3 days. The one to a small town in Pennsylvania, around 10 miles from me across the Delaware River took 20 days. The buyer contacted me after 17 days and asked "where's my cards, did you mail them"? I told him to give it 3 full weeks and then I would give him a full refund. Who knows where that envelope was in the interim, only the post office knows. Actually, they didn't even know.

I've seen on other sports card forums where people have been having problems with the mail service.

We will never know why things happen.
Trade one: same state 1 hour drive: deal done early in the morning and he put it in the mail 1/2 hour later. I recieved it the next day at 7:00 PM.
Trade 2: Same guy It toke 2 weeks and went though 4 states. I wish I had save the posting of it travels. Both of us watched it go around.

I think USPS is cracking down recently on letters/packages to ensure that correct postage is paid. I've read multiple instances lately of people having postage owed and delayed packages.

You never know what is going on...normally the mail is really good...last month I got a package from a Database member that was mailed in November! (I had forgotten about it, actually, it was a gift) Yet I've also had stuff get to Canada in three days and Shannon in Phoenix in 2. There's no rhyme or reason to it, other than the fact that the USPS is contantly harried and forced to jump through hoops that they shouldn't...but that's another topic I don't want to start ranting about. (My family worked for the USPS from at least the 1950s to currently, in capacaties ranging from mail carrying to post master and everything in between, so it's a bit of a sore subject for me)

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

I'm waiting on a big package of cards I ordered last month. It took a week to process and they were shipped on the 17th or 18th (around Presidents Day). Its a site that I won't name because they usually have seemed to take a while for the cards to arrive, but I'm getting impatient since its the largest order I've ever placed with them. I figured I'd wait until this Tuesday before I actually file a report with them since it could be weather related. The worst part is the fact there is no tracking number, just a "your order has been shipped".
