The Official and ONLY Place to Discuss Negative Trade Experiences + Trade Blacklist

well, a month is usually my time frame as well, however, with this trade I got a pm from the trader on Jan 22nd saying they have not received my envie or heard from me (i don't know what other traders do, but i don't really communicate with any traders after my trades have been finalized until a month & that's only if i don't receive their envie - usually the feedback i leave for them is my way of saying "i got your envie" - and then i got a pm on jan 28th and jan 29th - so i just wanted to make sure i wasn't being unfair with the timeframe of "waiting for a month" before worrying.

Guys I am getting a lot of complaints about envies not being sent for ages again. I know sometimes CP doesn't postmark them but there are too many complaints of postmarks as much as 2weeks after the trade.

Users who are repeatedly reported for this will be listed on the redlist

Just a comment. I have received numerous envelopes over the last year that were postmarked much later than the person indicated they were mailed. Invariably when I checked the postal code it would be for a large postal sorting station in a major center. The person mailing would be in a smaller community and a long way from this location. The first couple of times I wondered, but then it happened with something my mother sent. My conclusion is that CP is not postmarking until it gets to the large sorting station and it would appear that things can often spend a long, long time getting that far. I have made a mental note this year to try to as much as possible mail in person at the outlet and to remember to ask when mailing to have the person postmark the envelope. They know me well and are usually happy to oblige.

But to give CP a pat on the back as well. During the Christmas season my mother mailed a parcel to me after noon local time in the Maritimes. She did pay extra for the few day delivery, but not the next day delivery. The parcel was delivered to my doorstep the next day before noon on the West Coast. About 20 hours in transit.

As another data point...

I've posted birthday cards to the UK on a Friday @ 5 pm and my family have recieved them Tuesday morning which means I hit a sweet spot in the transit schedule..

I hosted 3 traditional trains back in October. Envelopes dissapeared for weeks at a time, eventually got to the other riders. All three were supposed to be making their way back to me mid December, however I have not received any of them.

Yes, my local mail isn't usually postmarked until Mississauga so I am aware of that, but with my mail some gets there in days and others weeks. When the postmark is reported as being a day later than they leave feedback for the other trader and a local postmark it is more obvious

OK I am pretty sure I have Pm'd everyone I am in hot water with. If you haven't heard from me, please please PLEASE send me a message.

I'm still waiting on a trade from Jan 15th, pmd her and she said she'd 'look around to see she had anymore of the same coupons'. hmm, and then messaged me again the other day to do another trade. She has 3 ratings but I wouldn't be surprised if more people are waiting like me, seems like she's trading pretty actively

[momof5boys]

Anyone else waiting for trades from "IRefuse_2_PayFullPrice" and "quebecqueen"???

Just gave 'quebecqueen' a negative - very frustrated because this was a very large trade which I never received. Any pms and messages are being ignored.

IRefuse_2_PayFullPrice got back to me but I have yet to see her envelope.....hopefully soon.

I got the exact same message from her. This is the second time I got the same message.

Final update on Nephora: I just rec'd my envie from her yesterday, Feb 7, 2013. I mailed my envie to her on Dec 9, 2012.
She did update the coupons she sent as the original ones had expired. That trade took 2 months and a few pm's to complete.
Not sure how to rate her. She did sent her end of the trade, it just took a long time.

I asked for the negative I gave her to be changed to a neutral. She "lost" all the coupons I requested (on two seperated occasions - different coupons both time) and when I asked for an assortment of food coupons, she sent me all crappy coupons. Yah, she sent it, but I was pretty unhappy about the whole thing. I don't think that deserves a positive.

[SassyAshley]

From what I have seen others do I would suggest a neutral, you did get your coupons but they were late and were "make-up" coupons as you never received the original ones agreed to in the trade.

Yes, I'll give her a neutral. At least it gives a warning to any that might trade with her. Thanks for your imput.

I am really glad I have cut down massively on my trading this year. Just spent about a week back and forth with someone. Sent her a reply yesterday and she said she had traded the coupons to someone else because she had "never heard back"

Except I replied in 36 hours. So now it seems anything more than 24 hours is not enough??! Seriously? Not everyone is attached to their computer at all hours. I hate wasting my time
