Drift towards Vaguer; Misdescript Ship method ie '2 Day' that takes a week, or never does like BCE!

[georgesjungle]

Remember when shipping method would actually specify 'Priority Mail' or '1st Class' or 'Parcel Post'?

Now most just say 2, 3 or 4 day delivery despite taking more than that.

Or the deadful BlueCare (Pony?) Express that says delivered Sat or Sun complete with 'Handed to Recipient' timestamp then when escalated seller says to wait all Monday for it instead.. And still no show even a month later.

How come BCE is STILL allowed despite most packages (61%?) going missing by their (Amazon?) drivers?!

And why the overall drift to misdescribed shipping Method options for Ebay items??

@georgesjungle 

Every listing still does specify it.

Only if you do calculated shipping.

Mine just says standard shipping, no carrier or service.

i avoid BCE

but usually don't find out til a tracking # is provided that is not the anticipated vague 'Standard Shipping' or even 'FedEx Smartpost'

do any listings actually specify BCE or are they hiding it on purpose?!

I don't recall seeing BCE as an option in the drop down for shipping. Could you even enter the tracking number when the item is shipped? 

What does Amazon have to do with eBay shipping, besides nothing.
