I am giving the sportlots box a thumbs up and the ebay PWE a thumbs down.

I ended up ordering 37 cards from 6 different sellers at sportlots.  I was basically ordering the 2021 heritage and 2021 donruss Cubs team lots plus filing in the 2021 52 redux that I was missing to complete that set.   Almost all of the cards were 18 cents each.  I ordered all of the cards on 3/29 and got them today 4/17.  It ended up being less than $15 and under 3 weeks getting them all shipped to me.  I would consider this as a viable going forward to fill in some cards blanks.

  I was excited to hear that ebay was doing a PWE shipping options which could hold the costs down.  I have used it 4 times now and 2 of the times the tracking just showed that they were sent and then never updated again.  I also did not get either of the packages and had to get refunded for both.  I am up to 110 completed PWE trades on this site without any of them ever getting lost.  Not sure what is happening with ebay but they are not off to a good start with their new shipping with me.  Has anyone else had issues the ebay PWE shipping?

Minor issues but none of them failled to show up (so far) 

I had a PWE from Ebay where the status said Delivered, but it wasn't in my mailbox.  It showed up 3 days later.  My guess is that it was scanned & delivered to a neighbor & took a few days to get back to me.

or it was scanned at your local PO and took 3 days to get delivered (since they don't work like first class w/ tracking that are scanned at the mailbox delivery )

Or never delivered at all "looking at you 2020 Topps Update". It was marked as Delivered, but no joy. Mail people couldn't find it nor could they confirmed it went into the wrong parcel box. Ten they denied my refund claim because their system said it was elivered. How could I prove it wasn't....

I'm still a fan of the Box. In fact, have another order ready to be shipped in a couple weeks....

How long did you wait ??? I've so far had them show up from 3 to 7 days later after being marked "delivered" (and this situation is exatly why i'm not a fan of the yaBe PWE shipping as it's not trackable like a regular parcel is that get's scanned when it's delivered .) 

It might have been that it showed up at your local post office the day you saw it was "delivered". I learned that when a package gets to your local Post Office the tracking will say "Delivered to UNIT". Meaning the last Post Office in the route, YOUR POST OFFICE. NOT your Home. To indicate it has been delivered to your home it will say "Deliverd to/in mailbox" or "Delivered on/at Front Door". It used to drive me nuts when I saw the status of "Delivered to UNIT" (I live in an apartment) and the package/letter wasn't in my box or at my front door until I learned that "at or to UNIT" meant my Post Office. Now when I see that I know that the next day or two I should have my package/letter. Now if I see "Out for Delivery" and see nothing that day then hopefully the next day I'll have my package, if not then porch pirates got my package.

The local PO searched (according to them that is) for 3 days and didn't find it. They told me to file a claim at that point, whcih I did, through them and through eBay. Well, I did eBay first and they immediately rejected it as it was marked Delivered. USPS gave me the same response about 10 days later. Never saw the set....

Flip side though, the seller was great. He was uphappy that the set wasn't delivered so he offered me a bunch of 2020 inserts I still needed at an great price. He actually took my WL and knocked starting killing off sets and then through a bunch of extras in after that.
