Has anyone else experienced slow delivery service, recently, after purchasing goods from e.bay in the U.K.
The seller now sends goods to the Global Shipping Centre, where they are held for several days or even weeks before being shipped to Spain.
Terrible service, especially  if you need goods urgently.

I have found a delay from the UK over the last few weeks it used to take about 5 days if the seller posted on payment day. I buy some of my trousers from the USA as although I am 32 waist I like to wear 54inch for comfort and they tend to sell over there for the well-upholstered young man like myself. In America they all seem to use that global shipping which eBay thought would be a great wheeze if they took more cash from you for "Import tax" which adds a pile of cash onto the final bill. Funny in all the years prior to the greed being attached to each sale I was never once presented with a bill from the Spanish or UK customs.  >:(

Goods I mentioned are bought and sent from the U.K.
(We don't bother buying anything from America now).
Small items could be sent direct from the seller by Royal Mail, but they are asked to send them to the shipping centre? The seller can't understand why things are delayed.
The buyer receives estimated dates for delivery, from the centre, and this can be can be another two weeks away. The service is just ridiculous.

I just had a small packet posted last Friday from the uk and I collected it this morning. 4 days including a weekend. Not bad

Was this bought from e.bay, sent direct to you, or went through the Global shipping centre?

Sent direct via Royal Mail.
P&P was free too
