Discogs purchases have typically been delivered on average within 10 to 14 days for me. Though there have been some pleasant exceptions (often from foreign sellers). I’m never sure if the delay is the seller, or the discogs system.
Tower records is slower as well.
Acoustic sounds also seem to take longer than usual and they use FedEx.
My main issue with usps recently, has been damaged packages. Most recently, last week an ultra disc of Bridge of Sighs arrived with a broken case. It wasn’t shipped that way. The packaging was gouged and noted by the post office. Luckily, the disc itself was unharmed, but when I pay that much for something I expect to receive it in the same condition it left the seller.
I’ve had an album delivered that looked like it had tire tracks that appeared to be from a hand truck on the packaging.
I made some discogs purchases last night (while dinking bourbon) and woke up to a message from a seller in Canada stating he only goes to his warehouse when he has enough orders to cover the shipping economics and asked for my patience and says he has a seven day deadline requirement for shipping.
So…..I wait.
carry on
