    PS is there any nectar earning options these days like the search and earn etc? I haven't done anything with them for ages!

    there is the nectar stuff if you check nectar website for offers. sometimes have decent ones like buy on ebay and will give you 500 points. they got rid of nectar ads :( and think nectar surveys is still going but I dont bother with them anymore.

    Oh my god I am furious.

    About 2 weeks ago I sent a camera to a buyer via collect+ at his insistence (even though this is super inconvenient for me because the only place I have access to a printer is uni - which I'm at 2 evenings a week only - and then had to walk the parcel to a store a mile away to send it off...)

    Anyway it took 4 days (! for a 24 hr service!) to reach the store at the other end for him to collect it. Except the store sent it back because of the "wrong sort of label" (apparently it was a "store to home" not "store to store" even though it was literally addressed to the store and there were no options for different label types)

    Problem is, the tracking info hasn't updated since it was delivered to the other store. There's literally no record of them sending it back!

    I emailed collect+ on Friday (3 days after the parcel was apparently returned) and they got back to me today saying they can't investigate - even though they have the tracking number - because they can't verify the label with eBay! Telling me to contact eBay for help, as if they're going to be able to tell me what a courier has done with a £50 parcel :eyeroll:

    Such a farce. This is exactly why I don't use couriers. I've never had one that wasn't completely f*** useless.

    Turns out they're part of Y*del. HUGE surprise.

    Anyway now I'm going to have to fight them tooth and nail for refund which they probably won't give because they "can't investigate" and it was delivered (just, you know, apparently returned) so that's fab. It's fine, guys. Not worth £50 or anything. I can totally afford to just flush that down the toilet.

    I would be asking the shop for your money back that sounds so dodgy, if the courier was happy to drop it off there the label must have been fine, don't they scan them. Either the shop or the delivery man has nabbed it so I would fight it to the death they can't just say oopsi we don't know where it is x

    No the shop said they didn't take it in because it had a 'to home' label and not a 'to store' label on it so they wouldn't get paid for taking it in and gave it back to the delivery guy.

    Apparently.

    There's no record of this on the system and collect+ keep telling me to talk to ebay, who tell me to talk to collect+

    It was last scanned as being "delivered" to the addressed store.

    Phoned ebay as per collect+ request and they have no idea what I'm talking about. Collect+ say there's an error on ebay end so they aren't getting sent any label details and can't talk to anyone ebay have to do it. But nobody at ebay has any knowledge of this happening. Ebay person going to escalate it up the chain to find someone who knows what the hell is going on.

    This is ridiculous.
