Am I Justified.....?

[Jesse]

I'm just curious to see if anyone else if having trading issues or if its just me and if I'm justified in being annoyed right now. 

A trader and I came to a trade agreement and this is the sequence of events (keep in mind he lives in the US so there is no US-Canada/England etc weight time).

Feb 16 - started trade talks off and on
Feb 23 - I shipped out my end of the deal.
Feb 24 - I recieved a message that said "if not tonight i'll ship tomorrow it's kinda hard to get to the post office with my car being down but they should be in the mail this weekend" .....let the excuses begin - should have been a sign.
Feb 28 - Next message received: "sorry it's took me so long it looks like i dont have a vision iq card If you want i can send a card back of yours" Almost 2 full weeks after the negatiaton was started I am told he doesnt have a card I traded for........
Feb 29 - we discuss card substitions and come to an agreement
Mar 1 - he says he will ship March 2.
Mar 6 - I send another email asking where my cards are and if he has shipped
Mar 6 - He replys "yes they should be there in a day or two"
Mar 8 - still no cards

In the amount of time that he has had my cards at his house without shipping mine out I have received cards from several US trades, Canada 3-4 times and even a trade from fricken England!

I do honestly believe he is probably a nice person - so I will not reveal his trader info. He can do that himself if he chooses to. I am just frustrated that it has been nearly 2 weeks since I shipped. I know it doesnt take that long in the US to get mail  I traded with a guy in Hawaii and got my cards in a couple days.

Sorry about the rant - I am just one unhappy individual when it comes to getting a raw deal / or even when the possibility of getting a raw deal appears.

I'd say give him the benefit of the doubt, wait a few more days. Anything is possible. It's only been 2 days since he confirmed mailing your cards. If by Monday or Tuesday you haven't received them, then we'll start up the lynch mob. =)

PS: btw, on a related subject - I haven't mailed your cards yet... they're going out tonight.

First thought - I could add that the first trade that he and I made he was late to ship becuase he "lost his wallet." It's just a lot adding up together. I've been late to ship before so I know the feeling - it's just unsettling  And he did say he was going to ship March 2 

As for the cards, thats fine - with all of the trades that we have made, you are probably the least of my worries - even if you waited a week to ship (please don't  ) I don't think I would even start to worry. I did get yours out this morning

I did get my cards Monday night! 18 days after I shipped  But, I did get them and that is what matters!

Also, I received BBH's cards on Tuesday so we're clear too
