Okay I bought a card (1 card) on eBay on July 28 and the seller shipped it the next day. I knew they were shipping it parcel post which obviously takes longer than first class so I'm not surprised by the delay. My question is why do sellers use parcel post on smaller items like this when it's usually more expensive and takes longer? I sell items on eBay occasionally and have always used first class mail unless it was something big and heavy then I used whichever service got it there quickly and cheap.
Waiting two weeks for a card (expected delivery of 8/11) is ridiculous when I've already received 3 or 4 cards ordered 3-4 days after that one. So to anyone who ships cards via parcel post, what is your reasoning behind it? I'm not saying you're wrong for doing it but I'm just trying to get a better understanding as to why someone would ship it like that.
