I have bought bricks for MOC here and there and tried a couple of times using bricklink ordering some big chunks of pieces. In general, the sellers are quick in their shipping and handling and I do not seem to have any issue with any. Lately I order two $30-$40 lots and have found something interesting. This seller indicates the shipping/handling takes 5-10 days on the store page. I was okay with it. Given that the pieces I ordered are for some MOC I planned doing for Christmas gift, I placed my order in Oct. Then, I waited 3 weeks before contacting the seller that I did not receive anything yet and finally I received my package sent with a priority 2-day mail. I paid on Oct 22 and the package got to mine on Nov 18 with several pieces missing. I placed one more order in so that I could get those missing ones coming alone with the new order. Again, the package did not go out of the seller 2 or 3 days after I contacted and arrived 3 weeks and 2 days after my payment. I left a positive and neutral feedback for the seller (which I considered not too bad and more than generous) and got such a fuss from her about changing/taking off my comment ever since. The purpose of my comment is to give a heads-up to whoever considering buying the bricks from the seller that the delay could be way~~~way~~~ longer than what he or she may think. Was I wrong doing so? Can a seller keep bothering/harassing their buyers this way until people give in and change the comments? Can I or should I let bricklink know that a seller has done this to me? Have you ever experienced this sort of thing? Thanks!
