Glad you got your package. I got my ebay purchase yesterday, that one was important because it is hubby’s maiin gift and since it is used (had to be used, it’s an ot of production camera) I can’t just run out and buy another.
Thank godness for that “buy it now”, I don’t use ebay hardly ever and I forgot about that. I had already lost one auction and then I looked again and said: hooray, let’s buy it now!
Glad they’re arriving quickly; I was surprised at first, but everything is coming quickly. Maybe the last week or so gets intense (if people waiting for their final pre-Christmas paychecks are waiting until the last minute). I’ve noticed that during the course of the year anything I ordered online has been arriving quickly, and warned others not to bother with the expedited shipping.
I honestly just believe that many people are still reeling from the Greater Depression; it seems the few jobs available in my area are minimum wage-type stuff. The people who are still making money aren’t the type to deal with our local Wal-Mart crowd; they’re much more likely to shop online.
“...not to bother with the expedited shipping.”
You and hubby think alike!
They don’t get payed until it ships so they ship fast. Why pay more for them to do their job.
He must have a great mind!
I guess as Christmas approaches it would be more critical, but during most of the year my packages arrive in less than a week.
That’s a great point; it is motivation for them to get it out quickly.
