today's rant- non collectors

After 2 failed collections from facebook items last week I am now looking at a failed ebay collection.

Buyer is almost an hour late, they have my phone number and have made no contact since agreeing the collection time.

Seriously how hard is it to collect when you agree to do so?

    Soolin definitely deserves a badge, if not a medal. Patience of a saint!

    Ha, you lot make my day, you really do - thank you.

    I gave up waiting and took all my parcels to MyHermes instead of sitting waiting any longer. Still no emails or texts or calls to say what happened.

    So, will it be a sick child or a flat tyre this time? It is usually one or the other.
