Cracking down on late shippers

[gladdyontherise]

Thats not what i'm saying, but if the majority are in favor, that should put some emphasis, but i mean seriously, only a neutral feedback on shipping that is shipped 19 days after being comfirmed?

This can't be a joke now, neutral it for sending 8 days-14 days after, 19 is just ridiculous. i dont know what my whole point is, maybe it can't be generalized, because the way it seems it goes it you can take 6 months to ship it and because it got there you only get a neutral?

I am kind of on the fence on this issue. I mean, I want to get my cards in a timely manner. I also typically send in a timely manner. But, everyone messes up. I mean, I just found a package I had all set up that I wanted to send last week, and thought I had. Then I found it and was like, whoops! So, I sent a PM to the guy I was trading with, and told him I didn't do it intentionally and that I would mail today. I mean, I know I have messed up before and not sent within three days, and not by choice, but usually by accident. Maybe I had too many trades, or got the MSF's mixed up on traders. But, honestly, it does happen. I don't want to get negatives for messing up once in a while.

And, with me, honesty works best. If you send me a PM, and you say, hey I have your stuff here and haven't had time to pack it up, I will get it out by weeks end. To me, that is good enough. I mean, I want the stuff, but I just want people to be open and honest about stuff, as I try to be with the people I trade with. Sometimes it gets hard to get to the PO. I work late usually and can't get there some nights. I do my best to do it in a timely manner. I would hope people would be understanding.

I guess in my eyes, 3 days may be a little short of time. A week is about the limit in my eyes. But it should be agreed upon by the two traders when the trade is made. And maybe it should be stated in the trade manager. is there anywhere in there to have a not associated with the trade to say if special agreement was made on when to ship or other notes possibly?

I would agree to this, I have had trades that take 2 weeks plus to complete when they received my end 3 days after I shipped.

Very interesting. I can only send out cards on Saturday morning due to my work schedule, but I try my best to let the traders know that before we make the trade. I guess I'll have to mark it in the trade manager when new trades are created.
