Does shipping takes this long for graphics cards from ebay??

[aikor]

Well i live in a country where the PC goods are overpriced so we have no choice but to buy graphics cards from ebay

I ordered a graphics card from a good seller with 1000+ good feedbacks
Its coming by air from royalmail from UK

I live in Maldives

And its been 14 days since it has been shipped!!
I looked at royal mails details about shipping and it says they take around 5-7 days for the rest of the world,but its been 2 weeks

I used "signed" shipping so the tracking no wont be updated until its delivered

Do they really take this long to ship??

I've had things take up to 4 weeks for foreign packages. If you live in the middle of the Indian ocean why would you not pay the extra for proper tracked shipping?

in the end it may be well worth the price buying from a authorized well known retailer

good luck [and don't forget it may sit in customs for some time before it clears to mail on to you ]

A lot of the cards on ebay are counterfeits.

How will i be able to tell the difference between counterfeit cards and originals??

I used to order pc goods from ebay
All other pc goods i got were good and original
