I don’t understand why topps doesn’t give us the option to us priority usps? It’s cheaper When I get my cards shipped first class mail through topps it takes 3 days across the country.

FedEx has somehow gotten to be the absolute worst. No matter where something ships from everything is delayed I live in an area that this shouldn't be a problem. The COVID excuses shouldn't exist anymore.

They can't hire enough employees to cover the increase in business they've seen. That's what I've been told - the local unit is really short staffed right now around here.

Here's 2 likely Montgomery members not holding up to honoring their eBay orders:

I got 2 order cancellations from eBay purchases.

Fedex is the absolute worst. Most of my packages travel back-and-forth through PA, before they eventually head to NY (after about a week). That's assuming they don't get lost (or thrown off a cliff). Why would anyone use this "service?"

Scheduled to get my 2 S1 hobby boxes today but they are still in Pittston, PA according to the tracking.

I guess they are going to teleport it to my door?

UPS and USPS figured it out. FedEx is just crapping the bed.

Not defending them by any means - just stating what I heard.

Lots of negative feedback between those two losers.

Thank you for leaving negatives. Everyone should do the same for cancelled orders.

The majority of low life crooks seem to excel in the "dumb as bricks" category!! Greed is a powerful drug.

Technically, a seller has the right to cancel an order at any time due to a variety of factors. In this case, the item was already out of stock, which I noted in the cancellation reasoning. As I said before, this box sold outside of eBay this morning, and I was unable to hop back on and take the listing down in time. If I had another box to ship you there wouldn’t be a problem, but unfortunately I do not at this time. Once again, I really do apologize for the inconvenience

Your previous message

Once I place an order you are bound to fill that as a seller

You are not willing to honor the order?
gh-xiixx:

Hey -

On release, the boxes were 1 per account. When they release to the public, I can maybe try to get another one or I can talk to a friend who has one that might be willing to sell me theirs, but I can’t make any promises. I have been on both sides before, and I really do apologize as I understand it can be frustrating. If I can make something work I will let you know
Your previous message

Hey Greg,

Can you buy a box elsewhere and ship it to me to fill the order?

Please let me know if you can do that for me to fill the order.

Thanks
gh-xiixx:

Hey -

My apologies for having to cancel the order for the 1st Edition Topps Series 1 order. The box sold outside of eBay before I was able to hop back on earlier and take the listing down. Sorry for the inconvenience and please let me know if there’s anything else I can help with. Thanks and have a good rest of your day.

Regards,
Greg

Looks like best offer accepted at 509 on 2/16 in the morning. Relisted and sold on 2/27 in the evening for 725. Guess seller's integrity was worth $216.

Just go report his new listing. If enough people do it I'm sure it'll at least cause eBay to take a look at the account. Doubt they do anything crazy but worth a shot and only takes 10 seconds.

He’ll probably slow play the delivery and cancel again on that guy
