How long to get reply, no replies yet

Post by N1CZZ »

I was looking for a piece of equipment and found one that I thought would be great, good seller, etc. I did the contact seller thing on here in the morning. Did not get any reply during the day. I found another one that also looked good. I did the contact seller thing, nothing that day, found a third one, did the contact seller thing, this one was late in the day.
I thought when I woke up this morning I would see something from at least one of them. It has only been about 20 hours since I contacted the first seller.
Just wondering if they think I am not legit, or are my expectations off.

Steve,
Generally speaking, I receive a reply the "same day" when using the QTH.com email delivery system. On a rare occasion, a next-day reply occurs.
Not sure why you're not receiving replies more quickly, unless those particular sellers are experiencing issues with delivery to their spam folders.

I would try to take advantage of this community's private message service if a timely email reply isn't successful.

Thank you Kev, I received the CC of the email sent to the seller within minutes of me using the system.
The first seller had just updated the ad and lowered the price, that is what prompted me and I was ready to purchase.
The second one had over a dozen great reviews, mostly selling and some buying.
Guess now that I see it won't be a quick thing I will just chill and see what happens.

Steve,
The system is fast and reliable: most delays are due to the email on the other end.
