    I'm not sure what your filming is going to achieve apart from causing excitement at the PO. It shows it was posted but unless you are now driving off the sit on his doorstep ready to film again it does not show delivery.

    If the SD tracking shows delivery the buyer will not be able to open an INR claim. If it is lost and does not track you can claim from RM.

    The buyer will be more inclined to leave feedback if you've left it first.

    I only ever leave feedback when they have

    It isn't delivery that I am bothered about as will just claim if it is lost.

    It was more to try and prevent the whole 'send back a damaged/faulty' version trick and get a refund when it wasn't the item sent to them.

    Without stirring up a hornets nest, I wouldn't leave a seller feedback first. So if it were me you'd be waiting a long time.
    How quickly does SD update online do you know?

    Mine have always shown same day and a signature available a day or two later.

    I probably wouldn't bother leaving feedback either as a buyer on a phone if I had no feedback from the seller I wouild want to leave it for a good month or so to make sure I had no issues as I would be a bit concerned as to why the seller wasn't confident enough to leave me feedback.

    Hehe - guess we would never be getting feedback from each other then!

    Never have done and only ever had a few people buyers not leave feedback so not an issue.

    Will check the RM website shortly and check on status

    If you bought from me you would receive FB but not if I bought from you, it would be a stalemate.
    If you made me open one of my all too frequent at the moment NPB you wouldn't get FB all.
    I do hope that it shows as delivered for you.

    Well - gemma would have blocked you for a kick off if you had no feedback.
