I bought a bunch of stuff from a seller on Mercari on the 12th, it is now the 23rd. USPS says "A shipping label has been prepared for your item, etc." and it has still not arrived. I buy a lot of things on Mercari, so I know that it should have taken no more than 7 days.

I am trying to hold out to the bitter end because these items are rare/out of print, and the seller really doesn't deserve to lose money on an item they once loved so much. I feel so guilty that I am going to have to get a refund if it is never delivered.

That said, reading through reddit posts about this issue, I see that many people get their packages eventually, one person even said it took 28 days! Most people don't post their conclusions though, or don't include how long it took, hence why I am making this post. I just want a general idea of how this usually goes for people.

Please share below if this has happened to you, and say how long it took, if it never showed up, or even feel free to share stories if you have proof a seller scammed you and never dropped it off in the first place.
