Tell your shippers not to use FedEx Ground

Unfortunately with some sellers you have not option on carriers.  DHL handed my last item off to FedEx in norther Ga as that was their closest hub.    The biggest problem is dealing not with individuals on e-bay but with businesses on e-bay...seems the like to do at best pickup twice a week.   I still think e-bay is wrong to allow a shipper to meet his time frame by creating a label....shipping update to e-bay needs be triggered by the carrier for tracking the sellers response to business transactions.  I guarantee you they have you money in matter of seconds.....

I have started asking sellers before buying:  Do you use DHL as a shipper?  If they answer yes, I tell them that I'll purchase ONLY if they will ship Fedex or USPS, whichever fits the size and weight.  Otherwise, no sale.  10 days idle time in Dallas when DHL handed off to USPS on two consecutive purchases.
