But maybe when it's your own stuff, time is of the essence.
Buying a card on ebay and submitting it for grading, to me, carry different expectations. And 19 days for shipping with no delivery in sight seems a bit long in the purchase category. But carry on.

If memory serves, the earlier discussion was about fast shipping from AH winnings.

And those can routinely take a few weeks.

As you wish. A few weeks, really? I don't recall having that experience.

And I know we all want ultra fast shipping, but,,,

Isn't the legal requirement still something like 30 business days.

Just curious

Probably depends on how you pay.

But it's not uncommon for some platforms to wait to make sure your payment clears. And then maybe a little longer just for good measure. At length, they ship, because they have lots of stuff to ship, and it takes a little time to get to your turn. Obviously some are zippier than others, but with the slowcoaches of the AH world, it's not uncommon to have to wait a few weeks from payment before you get your stuff.

OK. When I apparently said I didn't think immediate shipping by an AH was the biggest thing since sliced bread, I guess my point of comparison was 10 days maybe 2 weeks at the outset between payment and receipt. Three weeks or more does seem a bit long to wait.

Hopefully your stuff comes through soon. If PSA knocks off for a couple of weeks of vacation before getting to your piece, you might get to wait until January...

Another factor people aren't considering here is Santa Claus and his demanding workload as the world's population continues to increase. We have four times as many people on earth than we did a century ago and he's still mostly a one-man show.
