    Just a rant!!

    I bought something on ebay and the postage was quoted as 1st class, I popped the guy an email and asked if the goods could be posted (tomorrow) on Friday, so i'd have them for Saturday...I also asked could i pay the extra few £'s to get them sent recorded...

    Well the cheeky G1t said yep i can do that tomorrow, send me an extra £6-7 to cover it!!... The postage was £5 for the item...

    To add Recorded is not weight or size specific is it....I thought it was about 74p extra? (not special delivery)

    Is it me, am i wrong, the Royal Mail website is as clear as mud to understand.

    Oh well, probably never turn up, if it was me i always use Recorded, then you know the goods have arrived and the buyer cant do the old..where are my goods thing?

    Man :(

    Wow, that is shocking, I'm sure your right that its an extra 74p no matter the size or weight. I learnt the hard way about sending things recorded delivery. I sold a set of leathers and the buyer raised a dispute with ebay the day after they were posted saying they never arrived and got his money back, I lost out on over £100.

    Exactly, it's not worth saving 74p for the headache!!

    I always over charge the post, it's normally more than you think. I always guess it, or base it on others..

    Grrrrrrrrr hehe.
     
  4. How`s this i thought it was way over priced . Pair of wheels for an R6 with discs and tyres £40 , if it was`nt for the fact the wheels were cheap £155 , i would have been as mad as feck at his postal rate . Strikes me as being ripped off..
