Right I have bought a few things off ebay that I really need, some dressage boots, a new neue schule bit, a girth that will actually go round him and some BD tests. I bought these absolutely ages ago all on the same day and paid for them all by paypal. I have a show on sunday and could really do with them, especially the girth! I have been waiting in all last week for them to come as I knew they were recorded and needed a signature. Went out last saturday afternoon as I thought they were not going to come after four. Got in about 6 and found a note saying I had missed the delivery man and I would have to have the 4 items redelivered. Unbelieveable! So I went online and rescheduled them to be delivered on the following Tuesday as I was out on monday. So there I was sat waiting all day tuesday, until it got to 6 o clock. Nothing came, tryed ringing but obviously the office shut at 5

So I rang on the wednesday to ask why my items had not come. She put me on hold for about 20 mins, then came back and said yeh we've got them right here so you want them redelivered???!!! Apparently, they had not checked their online requests for redelivery which is the way you're meant to ask!!!! So I got them resheduled for today, I have sat and sat and waited and replyed to nearly every post on here lol. Just read as I was browsing through the weather forecast, POSTAL STRIKE TODAY. How F**king marvellous, Ohh I am soo annoyed another day wasted completely, now I have no idea when they will show up and I am out tommorrow so i don't think I will get them for my show on sunday! What's even better is that their phone number is not working beacuse nobody is there to even check when my parcel is coming. About 3 weeks ago when I bought these things off ebay I never imagined I would still be waiting for them the day before the show, I actually wanted to use them! I feel like hitting something now then crying

LOL I wish I had checked the forecast this morning! This is the reason why have posted so many times today lol!
 
Beware! I get a lot of stuff sent recorded delivery...when I'm not in I have to go to the sorting office to collect them.
But it's never open...and more annoyingly, it has a sign saying it will be open from 9am til 7pm. I can't tell you how much I want to smash the glass in their door

I agree with you Shilasdair - collecting mail from a sorting office is not easy. My "local" one is over an hour's drive away for starters and it opens (allegedly) at 7 a.m. for about 5 minutes as far as I can tell! (supposed to be open for 4 hours). If you do miraculously find it is open there is no parking because all the land is taken up by post office vans and the postpeople's own cars so you have to brave double yellow lines or face a long trek. Then when you finallyreach the head of the queue feeling like Ranulph Fiennes or somesuch, you give them your card only for them to disappear for half an hour and come back telling you that there is no trace of your parcel! How come they left you a card then telling you to go and collect it????

You may tell from this rant that I am no fan of Royal Fail or Parcel Farce.
 
I either try to re arrange mine for redelivery or drive the approx 14 mile round trip to the sorting office to collect. As a seller I always mail people to let them know their item has been posted and if recorded or special, I email them the reference number at the same time so they can look online to see where the parcel is or to check if that was the item they missed when the postman called. If only other ebayers were the same. Most of the time I don't even get an email saying it has been posted.

Yep, my sorting office is about a 45 minute drive away, and I have visited before when it was meant to be open and it was deserted and nobody answering phones!? On the little sheet they left it said i had to wait 48 hours before I could collect it, so I though I might as well have it delivered then drive all that way. So when it didn't show I didn't go to collect it as I could not get in touch and I didn't know whether it was in transit, at the post office, in a van, someone's back garden LOL. I've cooled down a bit since then, as I will have to make do with my boring cottage craft girth that cuts into his flab LOL. I'm sure he will love his new prezzies when they come though! hehe. Postal service is still crap though!
