Buyer request to delay shipment after purchase


Hi All,
Unless I'd missed something, there doesn't appear to be a dedicated forum thread to discuss the nuts and bolts of selling/buying on AG, so I'm posting here.

I have a potential buyer who'd like to make a purchase, but would like shipping delayed for a couple weeks while he's on vacation. This doesn't sound like it would be difficult to do, but I've not yet handled a similar request, so I'm wondering what's the best way to do it. Thanks and appreciate the help!

Interesting. I went thru a similar situation and may very well get into the situation you are describing.
I recently made two purchases here on Agon, while the seller was on a business trip. We mutually agreed to postpone the shipments until he's back. He got home a couple of days only to find out that his basement was flooded. He's now sending the items to the factory for inspection. Now I'm about to leave for my own vacation in a couple of weeks. Depending on the timing, I may have to request for delayed shipments.
The bottom line is, as long as you have secured the payment, you don't have to worry about it for the time being. In the end, it's the money that you are after anyway.
