I am a longstanding ebay member so I am familiar with the current buyers tracking and waiting times. For example since I live in Canada if I buy something originating in the USA, - on recent buys it took 30 days to receive my purchase. I frequently use Amazon and in Canada I can have my purchase within a week, - for example I recently bought an ink cartridge and I had it in less than a week. Ebay has tightened up the lag time for north and south of the border but maybe members on this community board can explain why when tracking a purchase say from Seattle the tracking details shows it has over 15 different stops on the way to Canada and that is only to get the mail out of the USA, then the Canadian bureaucracy takes over and that can easily be another two weeks What is the need for literally going from Seattle right across the country to Chicago? Seattle is very close to Vancouver but my tiny little package seems to be for ever going to depots, and sorting facilities. and yes it seems endlessly. Now I know when you buy on Ebay they always use the longest possible time for delivery because it has to make all the endless stops on the way. Are these all necessary? I I buy on Amazon it does not seem to be a problem. I bought an Acer laptop recently and I got it from the USA in about a week. Any thoughts?
