    Might be slightly more difficult now, its not always obvious now which is the local sorting office.

    For instance we lost our local sorting office and now everything goes up to Warrington and comes back via road for local sorting. I am not sure but someone local will know but Stoke on Trent were loosing theirs - yes a city - and their post was going down to Wolverhampton to be sorted before being sent back up :mad:


    OTE=CouponWoman;58207995]Have you checked with the buyers sorting office to see if its still sat there. I have done this a few times and traced missing parcels even ones not sent recorded.

    If still missing you need to put in a claim with Royal Mail. At least then the buyers address is flagged if they are a repeated "I didn;t get my parcel" buyer.

    Also put the buyer on your blocked bidder list, then go and check her feedback, both the feedback she has received and the feedback she has left. Sometimes you can spot a "I didn;t get my parcel" buyer, if you do report her to ebay so they can keep an eye on her account.

    good luck

    I tried the 4 tubs of flora last night and the young lad I went to said I hadn't spent enough so refused my £3 voucher. Did take my till spit for £1 off £4 of dairy though. Returned 2 of my packs of flora to customer services and the lovely young lad refunded £3 each (obviously the system didn't recognise the bogof. Also got dtd on the asami fruit drink which should have been 10p came up as 49p but I had to ask the young lad for it. I think the flora would be better if you have got lots of shopping. I only had a few whoopsied items with it.

    I'm in on the act:rotfl: Haven't had much time to use it but thought it was worth a look to see if a tablet would suit me instead of buying a new laptop/netbook for "sofa surfing" (c). Am impressed for the price so far.:) DD has an ipad but for my purposes this does similar things but for far less money. Doesn't have the kudos but who cares

    Haven't had time to look for a case but would also like to hear if anyone finds something suitable.

    DW has been trialling it as an e reader in bed and so far so good. I recall seeing people mentioning good sources of free books/reader software. Being unashamedly lazy can anyone share this info please to save the legwork:o?. (Have downloaded some free or cheap(20p) stuff from Kindle + Play store)

    May already have been posted but this is useful
