Did you email him? Try sending a PM?

He is usually pretty quick to reply, make sure his reply isn't in your junk email, it may get flagged.

I bought keycaps and a keyboard from him so I wouldn't be worried.

I had the same issue you had when I ordered from him and that's because it's coming from out of the country. You won't get a tracking number or shipping information until it hit's your country (assuming the U.S.). It also takes longer than usual because it is international.

Just give it a few days and when it arrives in the U.S. you should see a tracking number. My shipments took like ~3 weeks even though it said "expedited" or whatever...

that might calm your nerves a little...

If the shipment is from Hong Kong/China, there might be a delay as I believe that there is some kind of new regulation that items with lithium in them are not allowed to be exported out. I think Hong Kong Post is x-raying each and every package that goes to the post office so there might be a backlog and delay :(.

^^ This, I had a couple ebay items held up for a few extra weeks. Seems kind of random though because a few other things went straight through.

When dealing with international orders, expect random month or two delays due to customs, from the country it is leaving, and the country it is going to.

How long have you waited? I ordered flangeless LEDs from eBay and it's been 4 weeks and I haven't seen the package as of yet :(.

Well most things come in 2-4 weeks, I think I had one order that took 6 weeks and then I had some items that were just shipped on the 29th due to be delivered today!

If you ordered via ebay and you've not heard anything by about week 5, I'd at least start looking into getting the ball rolling on filing against the seller. If I remember right with ebay you have 45 days to file, and I think up to 60 for Paypal.

Thanks for the heads up man. I contacted the seller and they're going to be sending me a replacement package. I hope I'll see it soon, else I'll have to go that route.

I think it's 30 days with eBay and 45 with PayPal.  I know the 45 with PayPal is correct.

It's been 1 week?

Don't expect to get a package from China to NY in 1 week.

Unless if for instance one paid for priority air services like EMS/UPS. Then again it would take around a week not exactly less than one week.  ;D Heavy price tag of course for using such services but that is one possible avenue.
