September 27, 201113 yr @ davidmull: Have you sent an e-mail to the Bricklink seller? Sometimes, people get sick, have family issues to take care of, etc. Did you check the "Splash" page for that seller, to see if there are any messages about being on a trip or something? Sometimes, one gets "stiffed" and does not get the Lego parts you pay for. There really is not much recourse except for leaving Negative Feedback.

Ah this person and very good and has great feedback,it's probably a postage problem,the parts are only coming from the uk to Ireland so that's why I taught they should be hear by now,have said that uk mail can be very very slow,iv often got parts faster from the USA than the uk.
September 27, 201113 yr It is still not alarming, after 3 weeks i would write them. Longest i have waited was 3.5 weeks.
September 27, 201113 yr I think you should contact the seller right away.Let them know exactly what's going on and ask for their help- they want a good transaction too. It is very unusual for anything to take three weeks from England( I presume) to Ireland.( it could be hand delivered quicker) Best thing is to talk- the forum pages are really a last resort for problems and Bricklink have a massive forum too.

September 28, 201113 yr I once had a package that didn't arrive for TWO MONTHS. It miracously appeared later... But I thought I would never see it again. Don't panic. Try to contact the seller. Worst case scenario, yes, the package got lost, and you'll have to buy the parts again. But it's not that moment yet. You should wait at least one more month before considering the package is lost. All these problems, although not predominant, do happen pretty often.
September 29, 201113 yr So many of the sellers are so fast to process and ship orders we often get spoiled and begin to expect less than a week. But there are sellers on bricklink who ship once a week for example. So if you paid them the day after they ship you loose a week just waiting for the next "shipping day". I experianced this myself with one seller. Took him much longer than I was used to. But when I sat back and realized I have had orders from Amazon take three weeks to arrive then it does nto seem so bad.
