    Yeah we always use tracking, buyers tend to expect it.

    But be careful with it, as the last time round, the online tracking part was just ignored a lot, if you were lucky to get the postman to request a signature, by what I am hearing if you are posting to London now, even before the strike, you are lucky for the postman to do what they have been paid for.

    There is a user on ebay that has had so many missing parcels, that if you look through their feedback for others it looks like the postman is never asking for a signature, then they have the cheek to sell the same missing items on the same account.

    Amazon must have sorted out a good deal, as they are offering free shipping on all items shipped in the UK without the minimum price limits.

    I would not jump too fast as the alternative postal services are already complaining.

    Of course there are some having a hard time.
    That applies everywhere - including here!!!!
    I made it work for me - dont tell me to go over there and see how bad it is!!! I do good. I made it work in my favour.
    I dont have to go over there to read it - forums - both here and there, have loads of comments by people who are dissatisfied.

    Ebid is the same - it works for some - and doesnt work for others. It is as simple as that.

    No doubt the small minded mods will find a reason to delete this post too.

    See another bright side, now how could we contact the postal staff to tell them where we are?
