    All the stuff from Blackpool goes straight to the sorting office near Preston, next to the M6, which is about 20 miles away. So I would have thought it would have been quicker than most places for the post to be dispatched!
  • I would like to hear the excuses if they lived in my area - if I was to post something for local delivery it would get collected from the box, travel 100 miles to be sorted and franked, and then 100 miles all the way back again........and it can still be delivered next day (withouth using ND delivery).

    i've had the classic 'i'm not paying until i know the item is on its way' line
    yeah right. as if i'm that stupid

    i was half tempted to send an empty envelope, send the guy the tracking number and then keep his money....only problem is i have a concience (sp) and havnt got the balls to do something like that

    much to say he got a non-payment strike

    I sold my OH's car ages ago, and listed the faults, and said in BIG RED WORDS, car is a non-runner & needs to be towed away, please be sure before placing a bid!

    A bloke won the bid then straight away emailed me & blamed his wife for bidding without asking his permission and that it wasn't required! I said that I would offer to the 2nd highest bidder, and told him to supervise his wife. (amongst other things)

    He emailed back and agreed! And called her a div!

    I've had it more than once after a buyer makes purchase says that the person they intended buying it for has just gone out and bought it themselves so they won't need the item anymore :mad:

    dunno about best excuse for not paying but this is my last item sold and my last paragraph is aimed at people who don't want to pay
