If someone pays me per paypal, I ship it that day or the next A.M., no exception. Sorry Jabber. I think Monday to Thursday is too long too.
Mike, I don't call it HS, I call it good business.
I know what you are getting at, Shirl, but I always tell people when their goods will be despatched and again when I have done it; this is normal business practice to me.
Quite often there is no way I can get to the nearest post office ( a mile away) during working hours, so it has to be so.
Many goods I buy (not from ebay) will categorically state that the lead time is 10 days, 3 weeks, whatever.
The HS bit is my protest against everyone wanting to speed everything up in life - this causes stress to people if they succumb to it, and actually damages their health. I refuse to join the rat race - nothing can justify it!
I also decry this thing about hurling insults at people when they make one human mistake, like failing to post an item on a particular day - glass houses and stuff?
