The OP was expressing amazement that the buyer was asking a seller on Thursday when their item would arrive having paid on Monday. With a courier service being offered, which is normally fairly quick, it did not strike me as that unreasonable.

It is not like a buyer buying and paying on Sunday and then demanding to know why their item has not arrived Monday morning.

You were implying that a courier means ASAP. But they vary from 24 hours to 5 days. So unless the listing says "24 hour courier" then I'd just expect it to arrive within a few days.

I sent them the tracking info once the Courier had been, so they could track it on their very own. Infact, it would have been easier and quicker to copy and past the URL and copy and past the tracking info rather than typing me a message and waiting for a reply from me lol.

I had one like this. Sold item Friday night. Buyer paid Saturday night. Buyer emailed me Monday morning asking why she hadn't got her purchase. As she lived in Malta - unless I had hired a private jet plane - it wasn't getting there.

Some people have no idea, and obviously have no experience of our wonderful Royal Mail Service which seems to get more expensive and less efficient by the day.

Some people have a lot of experience of Royal Mail and know it is still the best in the world. Doesn't mean they are infallible of course, but they are recognised as the top domestic service, despite being !!!!!!red about by inept politicians for years.

I'm with martindow by the way. The buyer is being a bit previous, but most couriers offer a 48hr service now. Nobody seems to read the delivery times on a listing.
