I think I got ripped off. Help?

I had a super easy transaction with Kwesi here on TB...definitely a nice dude. Sorry to hear you made a couple bad moves here. I would never have wired money to the seller. Paypal only. At least you have some recourse with Paypal. Hope it works out for you bro.

Thanks man, and yeah normally I wouldn't have wired money either but I've done it three times so far with nor issues so I figured I'd be fine this time...
 
I had a bass shipped from Canada, and it took 10 days. If there's a delay at the border, e.g. a bottleneck at customs while they double-check every package for dope or whatever, the actual distance to travel doesn't matter. Also, some people ship items by "surface" (rather than air) because it's cheaper, and that can take forever. I shipped a bass by air to Australia, and it took three days. I shipped a pedal by "surface" to Australia, and it took two weeks.
