    I'm sure someone will be along in a minute that can help with the parcel issue , it is worth noting that the Parcelmonkey rep often posts on the main courier thread as well.

    As for the refunds, you may well have to refund and sort out compensation later with PM, it is going to be a very patient buyer who is going to wait 5 weeks, and they will be mindful that they need to get a claim open against you before the 45 day paypal claim window closes anyway. Remember as well that those opened claims willl affect your seller metrics as well any poor feedback or stars.
