    It wouldn't bother me being called hun. At least you know they are being reasonable & quite friendly. Far better that than some of the quite objectionable names that I'm sure some buyers will call some sellers.

    I don't find anything wrong with a buyer querying an item that was posted a week ago either. When I send items 2nd class I fully expect them to have reached their destination 3 days later, & thankfully, most of them do
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    My mate goes utterly nuts at people when they call her that, probably something to do with being half German.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    I don't mind her asking where the item is, it's the bad english and calling me 'hun' that buts me!

    That's the 4th INR this week, I am having a streak of bad luck!

    I don't suppose it was an English grammar/spelling book she ordered was it..? _pale_

    Reminds me of someone who insisted he'd paid directly into my bank account..... Could barely string a sentence together! :eek:
    I've chickened out of posting some quotes, including them threatening a neg. f/b. I had a similar one not so long ago and I'm fed up with idiots, so told him to good luck with that! :mad:

    Wish we could ban these muppets from.. well....... everything! :rotfl:

    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    Someone who bought off me called me "sweetie" in a message, and I replied with "honey" or something strange. Ended up sending messages to each other for a week or two. Bless her. She even invited me to go and see her if I ever went to New Zealand. LOL.

    I don't mind "hun" and "sweetie" etc as long as it's not "you forking bar steward" or something along those lines.
