Crikey!..............

[twishy123]

I guess the Royal Mail price increases are making sellers think outside the box......or envelope in this case 😮

Believe it or not this is how a lace and chiffon dress arrived today....:_|

I could cry :_|......vacuum packed so it would fit in an A4 envelope...*sob*

[**towery**]

did they mention it would arrive  vacuum packed?

i have heard it advised on  SC i think

can it be resurected?

[twishy123]

No there was no mention of vacuum packing Towery.....

I've hung it up in the hope that some of the creases drop out and then I'll have to try steaming it,the problem is that the chiffon is self pleated so I could end up steaming those out too...:-(

I think a bit more thought should have got into the packaging....I paid £6.70 p&p so expected it to arrive in a bag at very least.....not flat packed as a large letter X-(

[stan3502]

😮 Oh no twishy........how did they state they were sending it within the listing (i;e letter/small packet ) and what did they actually charge you.

Hope you can rescue it ?:|

[stan3502]

Sorry cross posted................I'd be contacting the seller to see what they have to say and would certainly be thinking about the star rating you're going to be giving IYKWIM

[twishy123]

I'm on it Stan....

and I haven't had any choklit today so I'm well in the mood for a scrap X-(

[**towery**]

i'd email and ask for  their precise instruction for getting all the unwanted creases while  keeping the  proper pleats

was it an ebay sale?

postage price is well out of order, it should have gone  medium parcel for that price

[**towery**]

sounds like a man sort of packing

Is it washable? You could try swirling it about in a lot of warm water (warmer than lukewarm) and then hanging it up to drip-dry

[merc1_clocks]

twishy...that would be laughable, if it wasn't fact !

I'd be kicking up stooshie...shocking all round X-(

Go lick a jaffa cake or summat...

[purplepennyb]

That's dreadful twishy. At £6+ post and packing I would be thinking and expecting that to be a medium packet and probably sent in a box.

The seller has kidnapped one of MrsStan's giraffes 🙂

[ilove2patch]

Definitely complain about the packing & the postage!

[captainbovine]

😮 shamefullX-(

and to think they charged £6+ for the p+p, cheeky boogers.

have another lick of that jaffa cake and calm down a touch....then again eat the whole jaffa cake after you've complained]:)

:OX-( starts a "free my geoffrey" campaign ..........................:^O

[**waspy**]

omg  and £6.70, that is no way to pack a dress like that  !!!

i thought you could only charge a maximum of £4 for clothing  ??? when ive sold bit it comes up with s box saying enter no more than £4 ???

[twishy123]

that's what l thought purple 😞

Apparently not waspy 😞

I've licked a couple of jaffa cakes and calmed down a bit and I've sent a polite email to the seller...honestly... it was very polite,I want to see what she says before I go in all guns blazing 😄

and I'll get geoffrey back for ya stan B-)

[stan3502]

Yayyyyyyyyyyy twishy to the rescue..........................you go girl................leaves emergency supplies incase fortification is needed ..........
