Items stuck in the US.

Now that the Canada Post strike is dragging its first week (with no resolution in the horizon), I have four orders coming from the US that, unfortunately, didn't make it on time. And they have been left without any updates, over one week now.

 

Not sure if they are going to leave them there sitting, waiting for things to get back to normal here. But...if they are still in the US, why isn't eBay trying to find alternative carriers for the last mile leg of the delivery? Is it just to save money?

 

Any other Canadian buyers in the same boat?

The eIS Hub is part of a Seller Protection program.

Once the shipment reaches the Hub, the seller is no longer responsible for delivery.

EIS takes the responsibility.

 

As a buyer, mark the last estimated date for delivery on your calendar.

Either it will arrive or not.

If it doesn't, you as a buyer are covered by eBay's Money Back Guarantee.

If you open a Claim, it would be paid by eBay/eIS, and not by your seller.

It looks like, if the item is delivered later, eIS does not want it returned. You keep it.
