| My parcel arrived in Dallas on Monday but since then just been sat there awaiting delivery with the message delivery exception delivery may be delayed. Has anyone have any idea how much delay is expected? Is the post really bad over there at the minute ? | ||

| Between the civil unrest and COVID, all the delivery services have suffered a setback. Hopefully, we will be back to normal soon... | ||

| There are definitely issues in the circulation; I’ve had some packages arrive late. I had a package arrive in Chicago from China in March and was delivered to me In Texas in May! | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| It's an issue with USPS. I shipped priority mail 2 day on a Monday and it didn't arrive until Saturday. | ||

| I shipped some books to CA by Priority Mail (from RI) on Monday. The receipt said that the expected delivery date was Friday, but they were delivered today. I did have at least one package that I shipped Priority arrive about a week late last month, and several were a few days late. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Studley_Dudley Has MCS confirmed your shipment arrival yet? Mine was received Monday and had to sit around a couple days for the virus protocols but still nothing yet. I know it can take a couple weeks to upload anything Im just talking about the confirmation it was received. |

| @flanders they acknowledged receipt today. Just waiting for them to scan everything so maybe 2 weeks more. This is my first time consigning items with them so this is my learning experience. | ||

| I sell stuff on ebay and use USPS. Shipping times have been all over the place and are not consistent. I've had something go from Texas to NY First Class in just a few days and I've had something go across state and take almost two weeks. | ||

| There is a bit of a slow-down especially with media mail - why do people ship comic books this way? (except to be cheap) | ||

| My weekly check from MyComicShop has been getting slower and slower. Now it takes (1st class letter) 9 days. Also, MCS is behind on scanning in new books for consignments. They've had a couple boxes from me for three+ weeks now. So, a lot of things are slowing down, due to the pandemic. | ||

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| My USPS/MCS story is that they use "UPS Innovations" for the cheapest shipping method. Basically UPS gets it from Texas to some place near you then hands it off to USPS for the final leg. I've always had a small delay at that handoff stage but my current order from MCS was estimated to have been delivered on Tuesday, and instead is in USPS limbo since then. UPS tracking says they gave it to USPS, USPS tracking says they're still waiting for it. | ||

| Since this mess started, I’ve sent everything with media mail. Doesn’t matter if it’s priority or not, it’s still gonna take a while to get where it’s goin, so why spend the extra $? One package only took 2 days to get to its destination | ||

| Mine finally got scanned... in North Carolina. Not quite New Jersey. But at least it's in the USPS system now, and hopefully it's a mis-scan. That's happened before. | ||

| I have ordered three things in the last 2 weeks. The one that was supposed to be delivered this past Saturday was sent Media Mail on June 5th (bags and boards, not comics). It has not arrived yet. The other two packages were sent Priority Mail (shipped last Wednesday and Thursday) and both were delivered today. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk Yeah, I've used it before. Of course, it's very convenient, and you get paid immediately. But PayPal takes a fee, which I really don't like: 3%. It doesn't sound like much, but if you sell, say, an ASM #129 9.4 for $3000, then the fee is $90.00. I'd rather wait a week and get the extra 90 bucks. So it's just a pain, with an extra week thrown in there. But once you adjust to it, it's just waiting a little longer, to get all your money. |
