Zestads limited has been mentioned here in the forums a few times as being problematic. If it takes 6 weeks, this is a china company or a dropshipper. PayPal only let you file Item Not Received claim (where the seller has to provide proof of delivery/tracking number to close dispute) or Significantly Not as Described claims (where you will be required to return item for refund out of pocket with tracking back to seller to get refund) but PayPal has a return shipping refund program: 

 

https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/refunded-returns !!!!Please sign up before filing a dispute to be eligible for return shipping refund!!!

 

This is the extent of purchase protection. It's not a 100% guarantee, warranty, cover everything insurance so there are conditions and limitations. If PayPal dispute not work out to your liking and you paid with credit card, you can always dispute through card issuer instead.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
