    I do ask all people who claim INR from me to check with neighbours and inform I report all losses to Royal mail and ask them to co-operate if Royal mail contact them.

    I don't get COP of most items, so can't make a claim, but do report all buyers who insist on a refund, as to my mind anyway, if they are happy with a replacement it probably has gone astray.

    Several people have found their items in drawers, and in one case "under a flowerpot" - which would be a strange place for a postman to leave a 15 x 10 cm bubble envelope.
    That's pretty much how I do it. I posted about the last INR I had who sounded odd on his initial request, so I said I had barcode tracking (I wasn't even sure his parcel had a barcode on), he messaged back two minutes later to say it had arrived now, at midnight on Saturday.

    It wasn't urgent and I did offer to pay additional for a faster postage service. however to no reply. yet a very prompt answer to an INR message?
    So I'm down as a scammer?

    It's up to you if you want to take offence at my post. As I explained, my reply has suddenly led to supposedly lost parcels being quickly found.

    That's how I thought the seller worded it. They were attempting to frighten you into owning up that you had found the parcel. It was a really lame attempt to do it, even the most idiot scammer wouldn't fall for that.
