TrulyMadly

Just while I'm thinking......

I had a soup accident last week at work I was carrying in some homemade soup in a Tupperware container which was resting in the bottom of a hessian bag. It must have come loose in the car and as I walked into work, it started dripping down my trousers and sandals:o

Not a good look:o

So I treated myself yesterday to one of the Sistema soup containers.....RTC in A for £3. I've just been looking at it and filled it with water and it leaks:o

Maybe I mistakenly thought it would be leakproof....I thought that was the main reason people bought them:think::think:

Thinking ahead for the bonfire, I remembered we had some empty cardboard boxes in the loft. Once I started looking I couldn't stop throwing stuff out. I've been ruthless. Old cushions, duvets, suitcases.......oh my goodness .....I feel cleansed:rotfl:

Think you should go round to TS and give her some tips on how its done :rotfl::rotfl: Just a guiding hand to help divert from the keep pile to the get rid

I find some people are very slow with feedback, up to 3 weeks in one case, which was peculiar as he collected the item, told me he was very happy and, looking over his shoulder as he left, he told me to leave feedback. I still waited for his first, though, you can never be sure...

One person years ago came for a chest of drawers, inspected it and told me they loved it, they stayed ages chatting, took it away, then left neutral feedback saying it wasn't as good as they thought it would be. :mad:

So if it's me selling, I will wait till I have feedback from them before giving them any feedback, that way I know the item has arrived and they are happy with it. And if I buy, I am prompt with feedback.

I keep an eye on bidders' feedback to see what other buyers and sellers say about them. Saw a funny one once. Their buyer grumbled the item did not fit. The seller replied they had actually sold them perfume. :rotfl:

I would ask your buyer to send a photo of the damage to speed things up, so you can see what they are on about.

Was it in a sealed bag? If so perhaps you could take it up with the manufacturer or supplier, as depending on value it might be worth having the item back to claim against the supplier.

That's exactly the way I operate As soon as an item arrives and i'm happy I leave feedback. Good job I sent the stuff signed for :cool: so they can't come back with it didn't arrive. As for the item, will have to see what condition it arrives back in and see if the zip is broken. Purchased years and years ago so not sure where I would stand with the manufacturer. Buyer has 96% feedback not the best but not the worst. Part of me thinks they might be trying to pull a fast one and hoped I had gone for the refund and keep the item option

I never leave feedback till recieved and if there is a problem ask them to send a picture as well

I ALWAYS send sign for 2nd and 9 times out of 10 have feedback next day
I had a character the other day, the item said used good worn condition i then got a question, how old is it ? when did you buy it? has it any bobbles or snags?:o i replied its a worn item , dont know how many times its been worn, dont know when i purchased it hope this helps:rotfl::rotfl: then BLOCKED them as knew there would be a problem:o

afternoon all - we are back from our trip up to York

the house is still standing, we have electric and no drips from the roof

we should be out in the garden but some clown is shooting some wildlife or something else in the field so I might as well go and delete spam emails

a very bitter sweet week on the elite, hugs to everyone suffering ...

My worst buy (and to be fair it's the only bad one since 2002) was a dress for DGD listed as new without tags.

I got it for 99p + pp, but when I looked at it someone had opened the side seam, inserted a non-matching adult-sized zip, hand sewn in and not machined, and even the tacking stitches were left in! Seller swore blind it was new and unworn, even when challenged, but refunded the money. I put it into the c/shop ragbag.
