Yep
Still use it though to buy as I have no choice.
Edit ...as a buyer. ....I dont sell over ebay.
Same. I don’t even bother asking US sellers to sell to me without using GSP because they either respond rudely thinking Im trying to do something shady or they remove GSP from the listing making it unavailable for me to purchase
I used GSP to ship a bag to @Narnanz. They shipped the bag to Germany instead of NZ. It took over a month to get eBay to refund us both. I have no faith in GSP after that happened. However, I shipped a bag to Singapore recently and it was delivered there with no problem.
I dont blame the seller of course...its was GSP that screwed up.
My seller is cool!
Edit....and DHL
Double Edit...corrected my spelling...not that it hides it

Are you sure you didn’t send it to @MaraudingMagpie by accident? Haha jk! Yea that sounds like the worst possible scenario! Since they slap a label over the usps label, they probably slapped another person’s label on your package. Well hopefully both my bags arrive without a hitch. I am admittedly a bit anxious as Ive never had to wait this long for the tracking to update
We followed it to somewhere in Germany...its was like WHAT!!
I have a package I'm shipping to Canada that has been sitting at the GSP for nearly a week too. It's never taken this long.
I'm usually OK with sellers using GSP because it is supposed to be fast and to take the hassle out of an international package. My most recent experiences haven't been great though, it just takes too long. I'm thinking it might be due to Covid (I remember reading somewhere that carriers use passenger planes instead of cargo planes, and there's fewer of those these days), so I'm not too mad. But yes, it sucks to have your bag held up in the global shipping center for weeks when you pay a premium for GSP. Snail mail and paying duties at the post office is cheaper and doesn't even take that much longer these days.
If I ever visit the US I'll make sure to visit Erlanger, Kentucky! Just to see where my bags have been detained for weeks.
I've seen quite a few Lauries pop up in fun colors, and many of them seem to be pristine. I think they are adorable, but also one of the few vintage Coach styles that don't look timeless. The looooong double handles really make them look like something from the past. I don't mind that per se, but wouldn't really know how to deal with the handles as I dislike shoulder carry unless it's a tote or hobo with relatively short handles.
If anybody has a mod shot, I'd be curious!
Where in Germany? There's a big DHL hub just 20 minutes down the highway from where I live, maybe I can break in and rescue your bag for you, lol!
I think all mail is suffering right now, I've even had regular packages take an extra week to get here and they will only be coming from a few states over.
