Thumbs up

hi,i have been conversing with a seller in germany who insists on replying to me in english/german? and i usually get the jist of what he means but i am getting more and more frustrated with every message.
i believe he is saying" i have sent by parcel post dont knowe how long it will take ,but the carrier will nock for receipt?" maybe--what do you think?

" I do not point how long it lasts they still wait par it does not meet whom mitte n?hste woche there is they announce themselves nochmahl "

I just PM'ed you.

I have no real clue, this dude doesn't know how to speak/write english.

It looks like he doesn't know how long it will take...
mitte n?chste woche is mid next week and nochmal means again...

It's confusing, but if you get a German quote from him I will translate it for you.

Try using this: http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/text.html

However, it didn't do real well with his phrases above.
