Marketplace purchase as Gift - how long to wait?

[Anna Nova]

I bought something on MP for an alt, it was quicker than giving it some money (or so I thought).  3 hours later it has not arrived.  It's from a reputable seller with a thriving in-world business.  How long is reasonable to wait before starting to complain.  The L$ has gone from my account, and shows in my transactions.

Thanks @Rowan Amore, I did check the Status page, but, as usual, LL is a bit (pronounced 'extremely') slow on that.

It arrived in the end, so all's well.

For future reference, gifts arrive the same way as buying for yourself - they should arrive within a few seconds under normal circumstances. Anything longer than a minute is an indicator that something's up. The problem might not be MP, but something.
