I've had this happen to me several times and it's very annoying, to say the least.. I think SR should shorten the time to auto finalize if its USA to USA shipping.. Once the "shipped" button is pressed, I don't think that it should take more than 10 days (even 7) to auto finalize. On average, with first class mail, it takes 2-4 days with the average being 3. Granted, overseas is another issue, but within the USA i think the auto finalize should be shorten dramatically... Granted still keep up the 4 days for the seller to ship it but once that shipped button is pressed is when the shipping time should start... 7 days really is long enough. So, split the difference and make it 9. Honestly, has anyone ever sent a letter from coast to coast and had it take longer than 9 days? Since being here on SR, I would say that the longest time was 6 or 7 and that was due to weather, etc delays.. Or if its sent priority, It never takes more than 3 days..
