I am beginning to think that many people went away on vacation after requesting their books. I've sent out 8 books which should have arrived at their 8 new homes and have not been marked "received" yet. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yeah I've been seeing that a little lately too. I wish people would think to put their accounts on hold so that you can at least check their profile and see that they are away. |

I have been away most of the last month and a half, with most weekends being home, so here may have been a delay of a week or so posting as received. Summer is the best time to consider Delivery Confirmation to assure that you get timely credits for your books. |

IIRC there were a number of reports like this last summer, too. By the time August is over, they should be marked received. |

Yup I know I have been getting it alot to. I use paypal for shipping so while i have Dc and know the book is deivered..its not the PBS DC |

My orders seem to have really slowed down. But the ones I've mailed seem to be marked in a timely fashion. |

I had several books on my shelf time out due to no response and then go to the next person. frustrating on my part because I had a LOT to mail out (mailed 8 books last night, most I've ever mailed at one time! and still have 2 more to mail) I am waiting on one book I have requested to be accepted...I do not like that the person offering the book has 5 days to accept the order. |

I agree about not liking the 5 day response time to accept an order. I'd rather see it drop to 48 hours or maybe 3 days at the maximum. If the person can't mail right away they can always choose "I can mail later," but at least I'll know I'm going to get the book. |
|||
|

exactly...and then if they don't reply in 3 days then it will roll to the next person (who I hope is checking in!) and I can't check to see who has the book to see if their shelf is on hold. that happened to me before, their shelf was put on hold, probably just after I requested the book so until I cancelled it I had no way of knowing what the delay was for the owner. |

I've run into that too - it seems to be taking longer and I'm putting that down to people off on vacation. However, with school starting that should end pretty soon. |
|||

I'm seeing a bit of a slowdown with my shelf lately too. It seems the only things I send out lately are new posts I make that are on someone's wishlist. C'mon people! Keep the orders flowing! It's called PaperbackSWAP, not PaperbackSTALL!!! :) :)
