    How much did it sell for and what service did you use?

    I do have a concern here as assuming item went for over £39 the buyer was probably expecting it to be sent special and that is why they are surprised it has not arrived.

    It's only been 5 days so far though so ask buyer to be patent, try and get them at least into the 2nd week but just stay reassuring.

    Where did you send it to? There have been strikes around my area (Stoke on Trent) and I thought I heard there had been strikes in London.
  • Without proof of delivery you may be refunding for this one.

    The OP says 1st class so this could be a chancer buyer or just one that is seriously impatient.
