Purchased items need relogging to show up in mail

Hi, so I have this issue where a purchased item from a guild store or guild trader does not immediately show up in my mail. For this to happen, I need to log out and log back in. I have read online that there are other people encountering the same issue and the only suggestion I found was exactly what I was already doing. Anyone knows of an actual solution? Or if it is a bug, are ZOS targeting it for a patch some time soon? (it's kind of irritating...)

    It just takes time. Same for everyone.

    You don't need to log out. It just takes 10 minutes.

    Easiest way if you want it straight away, use a wayshrine. You'll have your mail upon arrival.

    Yeah I tried wayshrine too, that works. Did not know it shows up after a while. Thanks

    Exactly, I thought they would have addressed this by now. Unless it works like this on purpose to check that the seller gets the money before the buyer gets the item. But that still does not make so much sense (in my opinion) since one-on-one trading works instantly without any delay.

    It's so weird. The first lot of purchases I buy before checking mail show up instantly. If you buy something else after that it will take like 30 minutes to show, or if you travel by wayshrine, instantly. Because there was always a simple enough workaround I didn't bother making a bug post, but if it could be fixed I'd highly appreciate it.

    Not always.

    Sometimes they appear right away, sometimes you just need to "zone", instead of relogging, to allow for the software to call for a complete update.

    Still, it can be annoying, especially with the loading times issue we suffer atm.

    They only appear instantly when you didn't check your mail like within the past 10 minutes.

    To be honest, I only find this problematic since I buy stuff while I'm on a crafting spree, so zoning out and in would be just a waste of time...

    It's a bug that has been in the game since they introduced the guild traders over a year ago.

    About this issue, there were a lot of postings in the past.. what I always suggested was to just enter the next refuge (since it's very likely that you're in a town waiting for purchased items) for the purpose to enter another location where you get a loading screen. The mails arrive immediately after you entered.
    But now.. since the loading screens take about 6 months to load, I guess it'd be easier and faster to just relog...

    @Moonshadow66 Refuge is something I didn't think of, thanks

    Welcome to ESO. It will never get fixed. Get used to changing zones when you receive mail.

    It is a very weird bug/feature. It feels like the system checks for mail nonstop until you actually receive mail. Then the mail daemon goes to sleep for like 10 minutes. It is not a flat every-10-minutes thing.

    Up till now, I haven't had any issues to be honest. True they take some time, but not that much.

    The first purchases usually arrive immediately. After that is when you have to relog or change zones or something to get them to show.

    All of which is BS.

    It has always been like that and it was no issue at all, but in times of 3 min + loading screens it is now an issue. Same applies for several logging and relogging procedures to get your stuff you banked in inventories of mules/twinks, because there is still not enough real bank space available in times of Dark Ethers and Malachit Shards...

    It's a really weird system that in my opinion makes you feel like you're purchasing something from "outside" of the game when using it, especially as it shows the players account tag over character name. I'd much rather items were listed in my characters name and purchases were placed into my inventory, but that's just because I'm used to that from previous MMOs.

    The initial experience isn't very user friendly lol.
