Before anyone gets up in arms, I am joking....

I couldn't help myself it seems buyers do so many things wrong... but it is funny that just as I'm about to go out the door to the post office on a Friday, "ping" goes my email and here's a buyer, or on the day I have a dentist appointment or something "ping, ping, ping" everyone decides to buy, and of course the days I have lots of time "no pings"!

I am thankful that there are "pings", could always use more though!

Hope you got a chuckle and have a great day.....

Nothing better than a "ping" 🙂

And I've been getting a quite few lately

But your right about them coming when you have other things too do. LOL

Wishing you many more!!!!

I totally understand what you mean! Many times, I wake up Saturday morning with a new purchase in my selling history (made during the night or late on Friday). And it often happen during a 3 day weekend. Since I don't ship anything during the weekend, I always send a note to the buyer hoping he will not dinged my DSR for that. Most of the times, buyers are understanding. But it happened a few times where the buyer was not.

The ones I worry about are the Canadian long weekends that Americans (and others) may know nothing about, such as our Thanksgiving, Canada Day, or the provincial holidays. Getting a sale late on a Friday in those situations means I immediately contact my buyer to let them know there will likely be a longer than usual shipping time -- in my area, even if I get the parcel to the P.O. on Saturday a.m. before they close, it goes nowhere until Tuesday a.m. on long weekends.

When I lived in Victoria, BC, I once had to explain to a US buyer that it was the British Columbia long weekend, and her parcel would be mailed out first thing Tuesday. Her reply: Oh, Tuesday is fine, but is British Columbia part of Canada? (OK, all you Easterners and Westerners, don't get started now....!!!)
