Ebay shipping reliability?

Question

is there any chance that the product i bought on ebay might not come (like it might get lost or messed up or something)?

Answer 1

Of course there is, if it's something valuable I'd insure it. Case in point; about 6 months ago I shipped 4 boxes from myself to myself halfway across the country. Three arrived fine, the 4th has never been heard from. All packed carefully and labeled clearly and securely. Even if a major shipping service (UPS, FedEx,whoever) have a 99% record of correct deliveries that still means they lose thousands of packages. If it matters to you or you can't afford to gamble, play it safe. As the others have said you should also check the feedback on the seller but even at 100% people and shipping services can make mistakes.

Answer 2

ive never had any problem at all with my order's not showing up, make sure you check the sellers ratings and that will give you a better idea of who your dealing with. dont forget to check the sellers ratings, people who bought from him or her will tell you how the transaction went !!!

Answer 3

I've never had a problem. My last order was slow to arrive but it turned out that the seller found one of my parts to be defective and had to wait on a replacement which I don't mind since I want parts that work cheap not parts that arrive on time but don't work.
