    hi all, i know this is an old thread but i was wondering if anyone has had the same sort of problem with collect+ ( or other delivery Companies )

    i use collectplus quite often and they are normally quite good but ive had one package stuck in a loop with no tracking update for 5 days & buyer is getting annoyed.

    x3 things slightly set off alarm bells.
    -the buyer has quite lot of packages go missing / get delayed ( ebay feedback they have given)
    -the buyer lives in a new build apartment. ( no where to leave package / delivery driver cant enter building? )
    -i had to manually enter buyers address into collect+'s website as it did not come up.

    im not sure if either the problem is the address not being on their system or the facts its going to an apartment?

    is it on RMs postcode checker?

    i was not aware of that site.

    i did a search and using his address, royal mail says the postcode he listed on ebay is wrong :mad::mad::mad:

    i will double check with the buyer but if true, it would make sense why so many of his packages go missing! (both his ebay and paypal accounts list the wrong postcode?)

    Be amazed how many people cant get their own address right.

    collect plus were very helpful and will forward it to him.

    i thought this might be a case of a honest mistake but going by his response to my messages ( he ignored my messages about his address, only to state hes annoyed his package has not arrived), his negative feedback given and reading about similar scams. i have a strong suspicion he is trying to scam me.. and will probably win :(
