Posting ceramics
No money involved (other than the postage cost), we want to send some crockery to a family friend. We know extremely good packaging and double boxing is required.

Tell us some of your online sales stories

Blatant theft in W H Smiths
I know I've posted about this before but it seems to be a real 'thing' now.
