question!
Back in March, I ordered three bracelets off of eBay, one from one seller and two from a different seller. The estimated delivery date from both sellers gave a window that ended April 27th.
Two(ish) weeks after April 27th came and went, I contacted both sellers to say the bracelets hadn't arrived (it seemed better to open a ticket and have it on record and be wrong then to not say anything and the orders never arrived). Three(ish) weeks after April 27th came and went, I requested and received refunds. (I should mention that the tracking numbers for both orders said that the items had reached the port in China, but nothing after that, and then the numbers expired.)
I tried to open a 'non-delivered item' ticket on canadapost.ca, but they required a sender's postal code, and China doesn't exactly have a postal code so that never panned out.
Both orders arrived today. They are more than a month past the estimated delivery date, and nearly 3 months after I ordered them. Should I contact the sellers again and pay for them? (They're $0.99Cdn each so it wouldn't exactly break the bank, but I'm thinking it would be something of a hassle to make a payment after the fact without actually purchasing anything new...?)
Advice? I don't want to "steal" the bracelets, but they *are* awfully late and I don't know if I want to spend the suspected time and effort trying to sort this out. Although the packages are awfully small so maybe Canada Post misplaced them for a while? (The postmarks do read March 7th and 11th.)
