Mine was paid Jul 29, delivered July 31. Here you can see, how accurate Ebay's delivery estimate is 😄

Paid on 29 th as soon as I discovered coupon was available.
Processed on 30th.
SHIPPED TO YOU on 31st.
Arrives Wed, Aug 7 - Tue, Aug 20
(Eerily similar to yours even when they are being shipped to 2 different cities at different regions of the country.)
Most likely will see Tues/Wed of next week in Calgary. That windows have always been little baffling even if you factor in handling time. But very similar to eIS's inflated window. When you compare to Small Packet Air or Intl CP no longer provides estimates for those services where as when you check eBay labels they they mirror tracked. Doesn't matter if you are shipping Urban to Urban. Rural to Rural. Outback to Outback. The ETA rarely adjusts. VERY longstanding built in eBay glitch.
Like when a tree falls in the forest, is a parcel really late when the ETA is whimsical? Hmmmm

As a side eBay still hasn't posted for Canada regarding delivery delays due to fires in ALL parts of the country. They do that promptly in the USA.

So for fun I contacted back today, low and behold I still dont have it. BUT they can see its being processed and I will have it by the end of July, RIGHT lol
They have no clue what they are doing or saying there. Not even sur ethey know Canada exists
Also why is Devon MIA and we have no one else on this board we can even ask to look into things, even though we usually never get any kind of resolution either way
Strangely or I guess expectedly if you go to the same version of sellers hub on dot com under the Store tab (also under marketing tab) there is a dropdown called SUBSCRIBER DISCOUNTS. Same dropdown is missing on ca. It leads you directly to any current available offers. Easy peasy!! If you test on dot com it is not available to Canadian subscribers.

Seems to be a pattern of tools that when they are released/issued on dot com they rarely get the same attention on dot ca. Regarding it being a mail vs no mail thing. They may have heard about postage increases with canadapost and are trying to pinch pennies wherever possible when it comes to sending mail.😆

For smiles, chuckles and what the hecks for anyone that uses eBay ca exclusively a good idea to check out all the other MIA tools available to com sellers vs ca from time to time.

If they're trying to pinch pennies they could try a bit harder.
This was my most recent shipping supplies order. A box containing 25 of the 4" cube shipping boxes (the smallest ones on offer, so it's not a very big box). Whoever printed the label for it indicated the weight was 27 kilograms (actual weight is less than 2 kg, even when factoring in VE) and therefore they paid to ship this at a 27 kg rate.
I'm sure they get a volume discount from Canada Post, but still the cost difference between the actual size/weight of the box and one that weighs 27 kg is nearly 3x.

I passed on to Labels inc when the Expedited lite arrived on the scene that they could be used with eBay labels. (Looking closely at the label you provided they do appear to be shipped on their own account vs ebay labels). They would be under the 200 grams even in a cb mailer(could get away with smaller cb env) . They still arrive as standard expedited and as I recall 500 grams??? The majority of the coupon is lost to shipping from a Canadian perspective. And most likely as you noted the do qualify for a good discount with CP. They seem to have no plans to give sellers or any buyers value for the small selection of items they make available to Canadians. I too have observed inaccurate weights on shipments for as long as I've had a store. I guess they are too open to suggestions or the possibility of savings.

PS. As a side, I guess CP does not do any kind of audit for obviously incorrect weights on package when it is to their (CP's) favour?
