UPDATE: It's all worked out. He's sending another copy. I'm waiting for one of them to come in the mail. I'll update when I get it. Thanks.

I don't think this is the right place to discuss this, but I guess I could add some subcategories and whatnot in order to make it work...

Anyway back to this trade. I don't want to put their identity or their location out there but this person lives in a state a lot closer than Canada or Arizona so I can't figure out what's taking so long. The location of whatever post office it's coming to means absolutely nothing right now with regard to delays. The post office in Arizona likely has less of a backlog from the holiday season than the post office that this person sent your end of the deal to. Something that I bought for Christmas was sitting in a post office six hours from my home for two weeks, while something that came from a post office thousands of miles away came faster. Each post office has different amounts of backlog depending on the traffic they get and from how much help/workers they have that can safely come into work. As someone who dealt with a lot of post office stuff during the holidays because it's part of my current job, there's STILL stuff that was shipped out in early December for my customerbase that is only just now making its way into people's homes!! It's a madhouse right now and yes there's a very real possibility that the other trader's end got lost in the mail. I assure you that if it's a trader that you know is a well-seasoned veteran of trading, they are definitely not picking you as the first person for them to stiff for no reason at all. From the sounds of it, your mistake was assuming that everyone can do digital trading. Not everyone can. Not everyone has great internet speeds where they live. Assume that most every trader when you contact them are going to assume you want to do a trade via DVD. You tell them upfront that a digital trade is what you're wanting to do.

When I first started trading way back in the old days, I once sent a trade that the post office "conveniently forgot" to put the postage on the mail. -$6
I also mailed something that the post office refused to deliver to a mail slot and thus got sent back -$21. Turns out, the package would of fit in the mail box
Also I've bought things outside of trading that I would send the money order for said item, and the money order didn't get there til like 5 months later after I had to go through hell just to only get like 5% of my money back. -$33
So I've had bad luck too,

I wonder if you got the original trade, or is the item still in post office limbo
