Should I still send this item out?

[bigdeals.etc]

New buyer purchases an item after hours on Friday. Earlier on Saturday he messages me why I haven't sent the item yet. Later that night he messaged me again saying if I don't send out the item by Sunday, he will report me... I'm guessing he also is implying leaving a negative.

Would you still send this item out to the buyer (on Monday because we all should know POs don't send items for eBay on Sundays) and run risk of a SNAD return? I have no problem for getting a defect for cancelling this shipment in order to potentially save on return shipping (and outgoing) costs. I mean I already am getting the negative because I don't have a Sunday shipment deal with USPS.

I would have responded - I am so sorry that I could not ship on Sunday as almost every post office around me is closed.  I would be happy to mail the item today but the nearest post office to me that is open is 20 miles away and there would be an added 10 dollar delivery fee to do so.  I actually do have a post office on Sunday 20 miles from me.  It is in Loma Linda California, pretty cool actually, the town has Saturday as their sabbath and everything is closed.  Anyway, I would have continued, so, what was it you were going to do if I didnt ship on Sunday?

 I see the OP took the "kill with kindness" approach and then, after receiving a second message that appeared to be clearly hostile decided to cancel and block.

That having been said I believe the right action was taken in the proper order.

I'm assuming you haven't printed a label or anything? I would just print the label for Monday morning, that way he gets notification that it 'shipped' and will be appeased. It's not rocket science.

It`s never "rocket science" when it`s not YOUR problem.
