What does "a day or so...," mean to you for a payment? - GoFuckYourself.com

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...?

At what point would you ask again?

Couple months - you know the post office is really unreliable!

No really, if you needed the money.

polish_aristocrat · 04-28-2008, 05:24 AM

depends on the amount and also if there's a wire, check, epassporte or whatever paymnt method

but if this was epassporte (meaning: instant transfer of funds) and if someone told me "you'll get the money in a day or so" I'd ask again in 3 days I think

unless this was a substantial amount and I had my reasons not to trust them, then I'd ask earlier

with check, wire you need to add some days for the check/wire to arrive to you so it's hard to say

2-3 days Max...

viki · 04-28-2008, 05:47 AM

I think it means 3-4 days. If they meant 1-2 days, they would say "a day or two". Factor in weekends and you'll be waiting about a week.

1-3 days dependong on weekends and holidays. after that, id bitch.

fris · 04-28-2008, 08:21 AM

if you cant pay a winner for a contest, you shouldn't have a contest

SmokeyTheBear · 04-28-2008, 08:26 AM

never let someone give it as an answer and you won't have to wonder

carol.prime · 04-28-2008, 08:45 AM

GFY contest..... GOOD LUCK... jk 5 biz days... if more than that, shoot them a friendly email inquiring about the status of your payment... if no response, bitch them out on GFY and open a few threads...

Cyndalie · 04-28-2008, 10:57 AM

3 days, or so

tony286 · 04-28-2008, 10:58 AM
