I usually start bugging "slow shippers" via email on day 6, asking about
tracking information if I haven't heard from them yet. I email every couple
days until I get to 2 weeks, then (this has only happened a couple times) I
start getting ornery and threaten the dreaded Negative Feedback and (even
worse) a fraud refund request via paypal, which can sometimes end up with
the seller's checking account being frozen! They usually respond to that.
