leland's do the ever send you your items

a $264 check that cleared on june 22nd for 1 item and they still havent sent it out...why who knows..apparently theyre living in the 50s when it comes to clearing checks...apparently they are unaware of the fact that 99% of all checks drawn on US banks clear within 24 hrs

Unfortunately, I believe many auction houses, not just Leland's, wait a full two weeks for checks to clear before sending winnings. I've asked my bank before also (Bank of America) since I sometimes take personal checks for ebay sales, and I've asked them how long it takes for checks to clear, and even they told me I should wait a couple of weeks.

BTW, I'd like to give kudos to Clean Sweep for some of the fastest shipping I've seen. I am in California, and they are in New York. I sent my bank cashier's check to them this past Saturday, and woolah, today, I received my package (via USPS Priority Mail). I was thinking that I wasn't going to see this for another couple of weeks. (The wins were a W560 Gehrig PSA A and 1933 WWG #55 Gehrig SGC 40.)

Less than 2 hours after Paypal paying for my Sterling winnings I received a tracking number notice that my package was on the way.

I paid via wire transfer and had my lot by the Thursday after the auction ended.

+2, and if I may, +9 for the nine times I have won items in Brian's auctions that this has occurred.

its now 16 days since the check cleared no item no notification it was sent and no further responses from them...i guess they dont like being written about..maybe i should send them a copy of the bank statement showing them it cleared

[sflayank]

its now 18 days since check cleared no word from them
on whether its been sent out no response to email and either they dont read this board or just dont give a damn

Same here; And it arrived on Monday! Excellent service and lightning fast shipping!

Can't remember shipping durations, but I've always gotten my winings from Lelands so far.

[Bosox Blair]

I bought stuff from them on eBay (paid via Paypal) and it came very quick. Must be the check thing...

Cheers,
Blair

I mailed a USPS money order to Lelands on a Monday and received my items four days later on Thursday. Send a money order next time they only cost a dollar or so.

[sreader3]

Sent the check immediately after auction close. It cleared on 6/28. No item yet.

These people are dinosaurs.

(BTW, if they would take paypal I would have used that payment method.)

Regarding tax.. Has any New York resident shipped their items to a secondary (outside of new York state) residence/ location with Leland's ? If so, have you been charged tax on your winnings?
I Was surprised that tax was put in the invoice and Leland's said it was their policy. Wanted to check with the board and see if this is normal? Thanks for help!

[Bugsy]

I have paid by check with Leland's before too. Yes, it takes a while, but it isn't like it should be a surprise. They say right in their rules that they will wait 10 days for a check to clear. That has always been accurate in my experience with them. If they cashed your check on the 22nd, tomorrow would be the 10th business day. I bet it goes out within the next day or so. I always have a hard time waiting too, but I guess I could use one of the other payment options if I can't wait. Anyway, good luck. I hope you get your stuff soon.

PAYMENT
Payment is due within 14 days after notification. Failure to pay invoices promptly can result in suspension of your auction privileges. Personal checks are accepted but without prior credit terms, merchandise will be held until your check clears. This takes ten business days. We accept personal checks, money orders, cash and wire transfers.
