Where does the seller live? I see you are in Cambridge (Mass??). Tell me the seller's location and how he was going to ship it (Post Office, UPS, etc) and I can tell you approx. when it should arrive. I've worked in Purchasing for several years.

If he sent it by UPS, it shouldn't take more than 7 days max (going from coast to coast USA). If he used the Post Office and only paid for Book Rate (quite likely), it could be at least 7 days and maybe up to 10.

If he lives in Canada - you're looking at 2-3 weeks due to increased inspections of packages.

Don't give up just yet.

Also, since you have his banks routing number, go to YOUR bank and have them trace the location. Then contact that bank and explain the situation. Perhaps your bank could "retract" the electronic transfer (Dunno about that, but it won't hurt to ask).

Best of luck, man. Let us know what happens.
