eBay needs to stop showing unrealistic delivery dates to buyers especially when those dates are not aligned with our handling time or actual business days. I have a customer who ordered an item on Christmas Day. It was listed as economy shipping with two day handling time, which means I actually didn't have to ship until December 29th. However, I dropped it off at Fedex on the 26th. Since it was a weekend they didn't upload the acceptance tracking until the 28th. This package was going to St. Louis MO.
Looking at the sales record eBay showed the customer that the estimated delivery is January 3rd which is Sunday, and also is not a business delivery day. Nor did they consider that Friday was another holiday.
Moreover, the tracking is so screwy. Ventura CA to Milan NM, Next was Chandler, OK onto Champaign Il and next to Chicago Il and then back again to Champaign II. The reason this is screwy is that the route Fedex used from Chandler OK they had to travel right through St. Louis MO before traveling further North to Champaign and Chicago Illnois. It makes no sense for Fedex to bypass stopping in St. Louis for delivery and travel an additional 666 miles up to Chicago and back.
