How long does shipping usually take?

topic posted Mon, April 7, 2008 - 11:08 AM by  Carrie
I ordered a pair of Melodia's on March 20 and havent received them yet. I ordered them off the ebay store. Is it typical for them to take this long to get mto me? They were supposed to have been shipped on the 25th of March according to the USPS.

Thanks for any information.

    Uh-oh.

    I ordered a pair from the eBay store on the 31st, and received an email message from PayPal Shipping that my order went out on April 1, via Priority Mail, and should be here in 2-3 days. But the USPS tracking number that was included in the email says nothing: only "Electronic Shipping Information Received" on March 31. So far the USPS has no record of actually receiving the package for shipping. But PayPal says my order was shipped. (I've certainly been charged.)

    I emailed the girls at the customer service address given by PayPal, melodiadesigns01@hotmail.com, this morning. Maybe it's a problem at the Post Office?

      some items are back ordered please check this link to find out if you ordered something on the list, if that is the case, expect another 2 week delay. so so sorry about any delay what so ever.

      I am going to be out of the office MONDAY< TUESDAY > WEDNESDAY of next week, April 14-16th, and will be back in the office on the 17th, to do shipping and check on missing orders.... so send me an email @ melodia@melodiadesigns.com

      and then please give me a week to get back to you. we are currently working on streamlining our process to make things easier on all of us....

      our new website is almost done!!!! YAY!!!!

        Well, the pants I ordered are *not* on the backordered list. Yet if they *were* backordered, why would I have been charged for the pants, and then notified that they had been shipped???? Isn't that an eBay no-no??

        Yes, streamlining the process seems to be a very good idea... I'm totally confused now....

        The pants I ordered (M32" black mini) are not listed as being on back order and like a previous poster, I got an email with a tracking number. That was one 4-1 and I haven't heard anything since then.

    I've found USPS tracking numbers to be fairly worthless. Whenever I have one, it normally doesn't seem to get updated past "info received" until after the package arrives. If they're not going to update their system, I don't know why they offer the feature.

    However, I did get an email stating mine had been shipped and I would receive them in two to three days, I got them two days later. Did you get a PayPal email stating they had been shipped?

    please contact danielle at melodia@melodiadesigns.com and include your ebay id and order info.

    she is one gal monitoring hundreds of emails so it does take time, but she will research and get back to you. please do not send multiple emails. it will only make her task harder.

      Will do.

      I've made 3 other eBay purchases the last month that shipped with PayPal shipping, via Priority mail. They all arrived pronto. Ditto two used book purchases via Amazon.com that shipped Priority: both arrived within 4 days. Something is up with Melodias' shipping, or their local post office; Priority mail should not be a black hole from which not even light escapes. :-(

      not to frustrate you, but I ordered a pair friday 4/4, they shipped monday and arrived yesterday, friday 4/11. And the usps tracking actually was updated every night (which almost never happens when I get things shipped usps). Have you tried calling usps to have them check the tracking #?

        Will-do first thing Monday morning, just in case.

        They event I ordered the pants for in the first place is this weekend, so if they're not here by then, I'm SOL.

        On the other hand, I'll be making the trip out for Tribal Fest, so I can at least peruse the pants in person, and maybe get a pair without having the post office losing them. (Although I suppose the airline could always lose my luggage on my trip home... maybe melodias are just not in the stars for me.)

            I ordered from the "clearance" post at the beginning of the month and just got my invoice yesterday... I thought I was forgotten with my ivory crackles. If I recall correctly, there are certain shipping days so don't sweat it... =)

            Poor Danielle must be recovering from the sale and now getting ready for Tribal Caravan in 2 weeks.

    I was just logging in to eBay report my order "not received" when I decided to check the USPS tracking info, one last time.

    And, lo and behold, the USPS says they received my package at the San Diego facility on April 17th.

    So yes, the USPS updates their tracking info.

    And no, my order was not shipped on April 1, as the PayPal message stated.

    I'm more than a little PO'd. The pants don't get shipped for three weeks after the shipping label is printed, I get a misleading message from PayPal, NO communication from Melodias. And my pants won't be here for the event tonight.
