Ooh, and....

Hubby lost £20........
I found it..... (In the pocket of the jeans that he threw in the wash, which in all honesty is the reason he thinks he lost it haha).....
Sooooo.....
If I give that back to him as his Friday night going out cash, I technically save £20, right?? :rotfl:

Got a shocking amount from musicmagpie/CEX, but a lot of people have said it takes weeks and weeks for payment so not gonna count it yet


Well done to everyone on here!

they have actually improved musicmagpie, they process faster than before and think pay by bacs now. well done.

Ok party people, as one of the offer completions on another site, I downloaded an app called Gifties. I don't recall having heard it mentioned here yet, so forgive me if it has been.

Its much like Insta and other gift card apps, except more pared down and for the phone only. It has some of the usual offers you'll have been used to seeing elsewhere and I would say you could make it as quick or slow an earner as you like for its size.

As an example of the bare minimum to earn however:

• You can claim 20 free points per day (working fine for me so far)
• A $5 AGC is 2500 points
• Which works out at $5 every 125 days, just for logging in and claiming your free points. Or just shy of $15 a year.

I know this is small fry to some of you, but to others, its no less than some other points and rewards systems we use. Hope its of interest and any input from people with more experience of it welcome!

Guys - I've had an email from the Collect+ CEO and my parcel has been found!

Mr. Ashworth is going to call me later today after meetings to discuss what went wrong with the service and clear up the whole incident (including why it was, presumably, sat in a depot and not re-routed back to me despite my address being clear and present)

But anyway. We know where it is. Now we just have to decide what to do with it - I'm loath to send it back to the store that rejected it, but getting it back myself would involve sending again (with almost certainly another courier because nooope) at additional cost to the buyer - who has been a total champ the whole way through.

:j:j:j:j:j whoop tell Mr CEO that he has beaten my impression of him resolving this by Friday. I doff my hat at his speedy findings....

Does your buyer work? Is that why he wanted delivered to this shop so he could collect? Could Mr CEO call the shop and tell them under no circumstances are they to reject this parcel to be collected by Mr Buyer?

reviews aren't great and not many downloads.

there was another app I was introduced to which was doing well until I was near redemption and then they shut it down due to abuse from people referring themselves

You could start a referral file on referral board if you can refer people and see how you get on.

Yes, I think he does and that's why he wanted it sent to a shop rather than waiting for Royal Mail.

I'm now speaking with the high-up person who conducted the investigation, a Mr. Philip Marsh. It turns out that I didn't have the wrong sort of label or anything like that, and I'd done everything right, but the same data transfer error that led to collect+ not being able to verify me on the phone also meant that the barcode didn't match up to anything the store had in their records so they wouldn't take it! Now it's been (or will be) relabelled they should take it in just fine.

I am sorry for the inconvenience that has been caused by a data transfer issue between eBay and CollectPlus which meant that my colleagues in the customer support team were unable to identify you or Mr Giles when you called to enquire about the parcel and why it had been refused by Mount Pleasant stores in Redditch.

Please accept my apologies that my colleagues told you that a “store-to-home” label had been selected: this is not so, and you have not done anything wrong, but this same data transfer issue is why the parcel could not be accepted by the store as the data contained in the bar code did not match to any held in our records.

Although it's up to my buyer where I send it.

I've also been sent a cheque for £20 compensation. Given that T (my buyer) has been such a champ and also calling/trying to chase up himself and getting the runaround, and then saying that if it really was lost that he wouldn't ask a refund of me and would just let the £50 go (whereas most buyers would file an INR and get a refund off paypal), I've offered to split it with him. We've both been rather through it and he's been ever so patient.

If he wants it sent back to me so I can use a different company I'll just take the p&p from the £20 and not charge him any more postage.

What a week!

pleased you have got some compo out of it. he might just ask for it to go back to shop again so he can collect this time. or is it possible for him to take a delivery at work just for once?
