I Sell on Bonanza and other sites. I try to ship my orders same day. To make sure they get to my customers fast. The post office is much slower with delivers. Now First class and USPS Priority are taking about 9 days for delivery.
I had a customer that was upset that it took 8 days to get her order. Because Bonanza is showing 2-3 days for delivery for first class mail.
Is Bonanza going to fix this. eBay i sell on also. Has updated their shipping times to match how long their orders are taking. Now I might have to email every customer. To let them know about their shipping times.

Since November when I sell anything on any of my sites I send the customer a message telling them that the post office is taking longer then normal to deliver and that First Class is taking up to 15+ days and priority is taking up to 10+ days at times.
And that once the package leaves our hands, we do not have any more control over it.
They can go to the post office website and it states that they are having mail delays.

Since COVID, and especially during holidays, I started sending messages with tracking and warnings with delays of normal delivery time. every purchase I have made on any site, the seller has sent COVID delay messages.

Set up a handling/processing time for your items (do that in the shipping options of your booth settings). Specify the number of days before you get the item into the postal system. That way, the buyers gets an expected delivery time that INCLUDES those handling days.

You shouldn’t wait for the buyer to be disappointed in the delivery time. Tell them right away that delivery dates are set by other entities, NOT YOU, and you have no control over the many factors that could hold up the mail.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
