Hi,Has anyone else noticed much shorter estimated delivery windows on Canadian Economy shipments recently?EBay's delivery estimates seemed to allow reasonable time for normal postal delays, ie around a 10 day or so window for economy shipping.Recently I've had several orders with very aggressive estimates, I have a 2 day handling time on my listings. For example:1)Markham ON to Woodstock ON - Purchased June 01, Shipped June 03, Estimated delivery window June 03 to 05.2)Ontario to Calgary - Purchased June 06 Shipped June 08, Estimated June 10 to 12.3)Ontario to Ottawa - Purchased June 13, Shipped June 15, Estimated June 17 to 19.4)Ontario to Quebec - Purchased June 13, Shipped June 15, Estimated June 17 to 19.The problem is that buyers are opening INR cases immediately after these short windows expire, even though the items were shipped on time and may only be a few days delayed in transit.Has eBay changed how estimated delivery dates are calculated for Canadian Economy shipments, or are other sellers seeing the same thing?I ship most items untracked so in these situations I'm refunding these INR claims and they seem to be increasing in frequency. I had two additional INR claims this morning. It's getting to the point of where I might have to ship same day or might have to increase my handling time to 3 or 4 days to account for the shorter estimated delivery date window.
