He is selling thermal tape, and there was no issue at all. I had asked him to ship on Monday, assuming it would come about Wed, but if it didnt, no big deal. I PMed him to double check that he got them out since he never PMed me to let me know if he did or not. Since then he got very paranoid and flipped out about it, thinking I was complaining or pointing fingers at him that it didnt come in two days. I dont know what his problem is, but the tape is here now, and he is acting like I was going to report him for not sending it or something.
Copy of the PMs.

It's first class envelope. It could take 2-5 business days depending where you are. I sent them from Wash DC metro area. You will most likely get them tomorrow since you are in Ohio.

Thanks

If you check USPS site first class mail can take 2~5 days. You say you were being patient but are you?
I would gladly resend thermal tape or refund you money back if you weren't satisfied. I'm not saying you don't believe I sent it. I'm just reassuring your satisfaction because you were "worrying" it didn't get to you yet.

Instead you blame holidays when there's no official government off holiday. Whatever your complaint is I have offered your money back and willing to resend the tape if it doesn't get to you by this week.
USPS first class mail has a grace period of 2-5 days. There's no official rule that your mail will get there in 2 days. If you thought that you have clearly mistaken which I've outlined for you from the very first reply of your complaints. I suggest you be little more patient. 2 days isn't enough time for pointing your fingers at anyone. Whether that be USPS or myself.

The norm is two days, which is why I was expecting two days. I never complained, I never pointed fingers. A lot of people mail stuff for small holidays such as St Pattys day, so small holidays usually set the mail back a day or two from the norm, which is why they have a 3+ day window for stuff to arrive.
Please let it go. Again, I never complained, I never pointed fingers, and I never said it was a problem. Not sure why you took it that way.

GO READ USPS SITE or CALL USPS ask how long a first class mail arrival time is and they will tell you the same thing I said. 2 to 5 business days. If you got it 2 days in the past you lucked out. Don't expect first class mail to arrive to you in 2 days only to complain to everyone that it should come in 2 days!!!
You know what? REFUND COMING YOUR WAY!!! Send the thermal tape back.
