Hi all.
Now, when I sell parts to other forum users, I front up on the post with what the postage charge will be and what service I use. I make my recommendation and let them make their choice, but push them heavily towards a postage service that has adequate cover for whats being sent. 99 times out or 100, they go with Special Delivery or Courier (small parts under £30 go First Class Recorded), but never do I use anything that isn't signed for.
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.
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?
