How long does the global shipping program take too ship out of there hub

[grooviest]

Two of my purchases have had the delivery date modified - lengthened - three times now.  It is going on 21 days and still I have not received either of the two purchases.  The tracking #s provided on Ebay through this nuts and slow Global Shipping Program are never usable on either USPS or Canada Post sites and trying to get an answer from ebay is difficult.  On top of that, even with NAFTA that I believe is still in effect, ebay is charging import duties on items sold between Canada and the USA.  This is totally unacceptable.

I agree with this statement just another layer of unaccetable charges.

You may be able to get more information on your item's movement and status on this PitneyBowes subsite:

If your item is being held more than three business days, your item may be in a "restricted" category and those working at the Global Shipping Center in Kentucky may need to inspect your item further for required information that the seller didn't provide on the listing page.

I recently purchased a piece of petrified wood from a seller in California. Of course it had to go all the way to Kentucky to Global Shipping and there in languished for 2 weeks.

I will finish what I was saying. My cat walked across the keyboard and somehow posted my comment before I finished. As I was saying, the petrified wood seemed to be lost in the postal system. I received no message that the wood was at Global Shipping. I was contacting the seller to let him know that it appeared to be lost. Finally, after 2 weeks I received a message that the delay was because the inspectors at GS had to find out whether it was a restricted item or not. It was finally sent along. Global Shipping should contact buyers when there items are held up for additional inspections so buyers and sellers are not freaking out thinking their items are lost in the mail.
