Hey everyone. I have bought some things off ebay, and I was wondering how long it takes for a parcel to come from the uk and the usa once the seller has posted the item. Thanks for your help.

Last thing I got from the states took between a week- week and a half. 2 tops
But it was from an online store so I don't know about ebay sellers. No reason it shouldn't be about the same though

Depends on the shipping method.. but usually stuff off eBay from the US takes 2 weeks from the time they post it as a maximum.

As for the UK, I often find stuff gets here quicker... about 7-10 days max.

Depends on which postage method.

I have used:
i) USPS Global Express - 3 days
ii) USPS Express Mail - 5 days
iii) USPS Priority Mail - 10 days
iv) USPS First Class Mail - 12 days

Tracking has been unreliable for Priority Mail but very good for Global Express and Express Mail options.

Most things first class from the states take under a week. I suppose it depends on multible factors including holidays and individual post office efficiancy. Can be quite a bit longer than that.
Not sure about the UK... probably about 2 weeks. Haven't ordered much from there for quite a while.
Canada is probably the slowest of them all... It is also the more expensive of the 3.

USA also varies by location. East Coast (New York, Boston etc) can be up to a week longer for first class air than West Coast (LA, Seattle).
