Yes!
I have a life and am usually out every day, so when RM deliver a parcel and I'm not there, I know it's just a 14 mile round trip to pick up my parcel. (or they know all my neighbours so will leave it with someone I know...)
If it's a courier, some this could often then involve a 60 mile round trip, or having to pay extra to have it re-delivered on a saturday.
(hence I only buy from sellers who use RM)Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
Same here, I tend to avoid RD because I'm paying for something that is of no use to me (since it never tracks) and I'd rather pay for what the seller uses rather than have them cream off some fat. One seller broke a model I bought off its pictured base to get it into a LL rather than a SP so he could put the change in his back pocket. It was annoying in the extreme because I hate basing models - the glue goes everywhere - so usually buy them based from eBay rather than new and will pay a premium for them primed as well.
OK - I got it in the timeframe advertised - so I should have been happy - but it was broken so the seller could pocket the difference. That's not good service at all.
I have no real experience of couriers other than when their mail is put through the ordinary post they have taken longer than advertised to get to me; one item took ten days when it should have been much quicker, though the seller was very good about it and it turned up in the period I'd suggested I'd wait for."Well, it's election year, Bill, we'd rather people didn't exercise common sense..." - Jed Bartlet, The West Wing, season 4

Anyone who offers one service and then uses another is likely to be marked down on their stars. It's not a very good business strategy.0
