FWIW, I sell some stuff on eBay, as I get older, I fear I will drop dead, and my wife will have no idea what things are or what they are worth. I would say on average, one item out of five, temporarily disappears in the tracking process , you see “in transit to next facility” and no updates. Then all of a sudden, it pops up and is delivered. In the near 60 things we’ve sold, I’d say this happens again once in five, but if the 60 items, all have made it there eventually.
Pretty much my exact experience. Of late, when shipping guns, I used USPS overnight service, truly expensive, but, the service comes with a money back guarantee and the damn thing gets there. They have ended up giving me my money back on several occasions when it took two days for the package to get where it was going. But, the package always gets there. Not much wiggle room in a 24 hour period, it would seem.
Best,
Ted
