Using PayPal on site like Timu rather than my own bank details
hi, having looked at Temu etc, I am reluctant to use my own bank details to make a purchase. I was wondering if it would be better to use PayPal, that way it would be more secure.

UPS - courier company from hell
Ive a friend in the US who posted me items. They were a gift so no customs charges. Cleared UPS Stansted and now stuck in UPS Castle Donington. The useless UPS tracking appeared to show they were back in some sort of customs hold! Rang their hideously incompetent customer services and was told three different "updates".…

Evri using children to deliver parcels
On several occasions I've had Evri deliveries which have been made by a child.

Clock change
It’s that time where I always get confused by ending times. I notice when checking items I listed at 7pm Sunday said they had 1 day 1 hour to go at 7pm Saturday so presumably is building in finishing at 8pm instead. Presumably if they relist which looks likely at the moment they’ll be shifted an hour on permanently!

They are using the HS code 8518.30.2000 and according to online calculators there is no duty to pay on import, just the UK VAT. However, past experience of buying guitars some time ago from the USA is…
