24 Hour Courier next day delivery

[abussos]

I bought an item around 9.00pm Thursday night; I paid extra for 24hr courier at the time but thought I might be lucky and get it late Friday night but should be delivered sometime on the Saturday morning. I messaged the seller at lunch time Saturday asking for a tracking number as the 24hr courier appears not to be a 24hr courier; well it’s now 8.00pm Saturday night and I’m still waiting for the courier and a reply from the seller. I have a feeling this purchase won’t appear till sometime next week. The question is can I expect the extra money I paid for 24hr service, since I didn’t get it?  We are only talking 250 miles between seller and buyer, not some massive distance.

Not many couriers deliver on weekends.You should have read the "delivery within 1 working day" and the sellers dispatch times.

Ebay would have given you an ESTIMATED delivery time which i'm guessing was this following Monday at the latest.

Nope it stated’ Estimated delivery Fri, 11 Sep.’ Fact is I might as well have saved my money and then just waited for the free mail delivery which would have arrived Monday or Tuesday anyway.

The seller should have realised that it was pointless for me to spend extra money on something I was never going to get, if they weren’t prepared to post it on the Friday morning.

As far as I’m concerned they should have posted it on the Friday morning and that way it would have arrived sometime on the Saturday. This seller can forget any glowing revue that’s for sure, certainly no Christmas card.

By the way there are plenty of  couriers that deliver on weekends, I get them all the time, the seller couldn't even be bothererd to give tracking details, that's poor as far as I'm concerned.
