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.

I completely agree. The interesting and ironic is that several items coming from the west were delivered in 4-5 business days to NJ, since March. 2 items coming from FL tooks 10 business days! They tracked coming up to Phila Pa, then one tracked out to MO and the other TN. And then back to Philly.

I missed out on a cheap mahogany Ranch bag yesterday because I set my alarm for the wrong day and I completely forgot about the auction. What a bummer! I'm trying to replace my ruined BT Ranch.

I hate that! I set multiple alarms for the auction for my rust Saddle.

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 usually have no issues with it either. Once it arrives at the gsp warehouse, I get the item 2 to 3 days later. I do however have other issues with it that make me hate using it aside from the duties. They like to use 3rd party carriers to do deliveries that are really small and its usually just some person with their car. The problem is the delivery person always displays my packages on my driveway instead of my porch and never rings the bell or knocks. I literally have to sit by the front window all morning until I see the car pull into my driveway. My worst fear is someone stealing my package and Ebay telling me Im out of luck because its been marked “delivered- safe dropped” despite being thrown out it the open for anyone to see or take! It sucks but if its the only option to get vintage coach- gotta do what you gotta do lol

On the topic of international shipping--I sold a bag to a buyer in Canada on July 1. I live out side of Philadelphia and international shipments to Canada usually would go to JFK for international dispatch--just 90 miles up the road from me. I guess that hub was closed or somehow altered due to Covid. So, I watched the package go to Georgia, Florida (maybe the new international hub) Michigan and, finally, Canada. With customs clearance, it was delivered on July 16. Overall this seems better than the Global shipping program but about twice the time it used to take to mail to Canada.

I feel you! I waited too long to accept an offer on a Bonnie Cashin Mini Shopper because I was trying to be responsible. Someone else got it and I was bummed all day!

Upsetting day today. I work in a school office, who the 2 principals are greatly impacts my day. After 6 years with a jerk and 4 years with one who held me to a different standard than my coworker until I thought I would be crushed under the weight of it all, we got 2 wonderful one exactly 3 years ago. They are on top of everything. Today we learned they are both being transferred. My coworker is retiring at the end of September so in 3 months that leaves me the last one standing. Plus my current principal wanted to promote me to her job so I have gone from being assured of a raise and having bosses I like Amdist the covid craziness, to not knowing if I will be promoted or if I will the new guys and knowing, if I hate them, that the woman I have worked with for years will soon leave and I will have a stranger next to me too. None of this was done at my bosses’ will, they were told they were being moved. It is just awful to do when everything to do with a school is so uncertain right now.

Be very careful of that seller's items. The seller has a long history of mixing fakes and authentic items.
