So I've been trading on here, obviously, and I sent out a package about two weeks ago and i got his cards a week ago but he hasn't received mine yet.
And then somebody else was sending me cards at about the same time and I still haven't received them yet.
I think both of these traders are reliable and trustworthy so I don't think they're trying to pull one over on me. The thing is it's been over two weeks and I haven't gotten my stuff yet. Does this ever happen to you guys, where your post office doesn't deliver things until super late?
It happens. Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much. If it goes much beyond 3 weeks there might be a problem, but sometimes the mail is just a little slow for whatever reason.

I've had this happen before.
Don't stress and give the post office time, I've had a trade go severly south due to the other traders impatience after he received my end and It was taking a really long time for his.(story in my binder).
Sometimes the post office just takes a REALLLY long time to get packages sorted out, some have taken me 1 month+

Honestly the post office is just slow as booty. I waited two months for cards but they came.

Yea, I have 2 batches of cards(both coming from California) that have either been lost once or just flat out taking forever. It's been a month on both, they're good traders with a good history an they've gotten my end, shit happens sometimes I guess.

Yea, same here. The two trades on here are a month+ old but I've done about 10 pucatrades and 2 others on here that were done between christmas and now. The big thing is make sure you're keeping up communication with the person, post on here and check in with whoever.

Also, talking about mailing, does anyone know why it takes 2 weeks to send from the US to EU, when it take like 3 days, to send from Japan to EU? This is really weird to me, cause it should both be "on the other side of earth"....

I run a large mail room for a living and do 99.9% of my trading online, I can tell you from experience that it usually takes 7-10 days for mail to get from A to B but there are times where it can take up to months. It's stupid and can create some distrust in a trade but there isn't much that can be done about it. Just keep in touch with the other party and hope that they are understanding.
