So, imagine my frustration at buying something from an SXOC user, for £350, which just over 2 weeks later hasn't arrived. I now find that he sent it normal first class. No, he didn't even pay the extra 85 pence or whatever it is to be recorded. :eek:
In my eyes, this is an absolute pisstake, what do you think?
He is saying that it is up to the buyer to request sending by a better service? But surely it's a no brainer that if you advertise something at a 'posted' price, that price will be using a service that is sufficient for whats being sent.
I've just mailed the seller to see if/how he plans to resolve this, so no plans to name him publically yet. I just wanted to see what you guys think, am I being unreasonable?
