if their shipping indicates it could take up to 90 days before it can be determined to be lost, then you need to wait the 90 days and see if it gets delivered. What you’ve seen in other tracking is irrelevant. How other sellers ship items is irrelevant. You placed an order for an item outside your country of residence. International shipping is not always smooth. With the extreme backlogs at ports of entry around the globe right now goods are not following the same transit paths they would have previously. Be patient. Otherwise, take the 90 day wait as a lesson to support local businesses.

I didn't really experience any extreme delays with international shipments for the last year of pandemic. Though you do have a point. Lessen learned.

They corrected it immediately because it was their mistake. Shipping/logistics is not something they have much control over once it leaves their facility. You're at the mercy of Hermes, the divine messenger god, now.

I know exactly how you feel, it doesn't matter if its a $5 part or $230 part. But this is exactly why I hate getting items from anything outside my city, let alone outside of my country. The pandemic just exacerbates everything.

Apparently the item went somewhere in Asia and then was returned back to Raceseng. Once they received the item back I received q refund and ordered a damn thing again choosing most expensive USPS shipping method this time. And finally it arrived today. All in all almost 2 months.

That sucks, but I don't think it's Raceseng's fault. That's life with international shipping. That's also why many companies won't bother shipping internationally. Why bother for one measly sale?
