I got a bag on ebay that I had been DYING to get. I paid right away and the seller sent on Tuesday the 9th with parcel post. The seller lives in MD where the weather has been pretty bad. Its the 18th and I still don't have the bag. I usually don't send packages or get packages by parcel post but how long does it usually take? I asked the seller for a DC number, but they are out of town and don't have any of the paper work with them at the moment. I hope it shows up soon, I was SO excited!
Is it too soon to worry?

Some one more knowledgeable can correct me, but IME parcel post is like THE SLOWEST OPTION, i think a turtle could get it there faster. It says on USPS 5-8 days, but with the weather, I'd wait 14 mail-delivering business days before worrying, so you have at least 7 days left.
I shipped an itemparcel post Feb 8 from Philly to DC and it took until Thursday the 18 to get there. Remember Monday was a holiday too.
I hope so too! I was SOO excited about it because I got such a good deal. The seller has been great with everything. Communication has been solid and they responded to my question yesterday about a DC number within a few hours. I trust the seller, just not the P.O. LOL.
Too soon to worry! Monday was a holiday and there have been a lot of snow storms thus delaying the mail. Don't worry. I'm sure it will get to you. I know it's hard not to be excited

I buy and sell all the time. I have bought things lately that are really slow getting here especially because of the weather and holidays (as others have said). No worries. However I know what it is like to wait-bummer.
