I am not getting a choice of courier
Summary: dansar21 expresses frustration with not being given a choice of courier service for their purchases, despite an expectation for such options. As a seller, they face difficulties due to not having a smartphone or printer, which affects their ability to use certain delivery services like Royal Mail and inpost service. They seek feedback from other private sellers on how they are managing these challenges.
I thought sellers were supposed to give you a choice of courier since simple delivery started - on all my purchases since April 2025 i have not had a choice but had to accept how the seller chooses to send it. Are others finding this? As a seller myself i have to give the option of Evri & Royal Mail as i cant just use RM as it costs more. I am finding it more difficult as i dont have a smartphone, or a printer, i also dont drive so am a fair distance away from nearest lockers (which i assume I couldnt open as no smartphone!). I have declined to use the inpost service because of this. With Evri i can input a code in store to print out a label but you cant do this with Royal Mail you must have a qr code you cant manually input the ref no, & must hope their bring a label service works. How are other private sellers finding and dealing with this?
