Yes i take packing seriously i use online collect as no transport to get to post office and drop offs and then there's the massive queue at the back of a shop. Unfortunately the Czech billionaire that has just bought Royal Mail wants to make a profit and we are lucky this time that the increases are lower than usual, now it depends on how many more there are this year. They expect to cap 2nd class price when the 3 day delivery starts and it had better be low

Does that mean we will get more frequent deliveries and cheaper for the sender - Hail czech republic  - Viva the President of the republic - everybody buy a Skoda in appreciation of this wonderful miracle !

a couple of points, I actually said since the 4th Feb not 14th.  I nowhere in my comment said anything about whether buyers were honest or not (and i actually said all my sales and purchases had been delivered) and whether you find it STAGGERING or not it is the truth.  You seem to infer because we have a different story to you that we are lying.  I have no need to.  In fact the story would be exactly the opposite with EVRI where the local courier will not go off the beaten track to deliver anything he does not want to (and that even includes any difficult to access addresses in town not just us out in the countryside), never had a parcel delivered by them since this courier started.   No, i do not buy from anyone using EVRI, unfortunately some sellers say RM and then go cheap with EVRI, not sure if they get their parcels back but then again i do not care if they do not.   I get my money back and they might have learned a lesson to send how they say.

4th / 14th you know what I meant was just typing fast & added a 1, sorry.

Never infered you were lying either, just stating my own experiances, not yours, in fact I am pleased you have never had an issue.

But if you look at my reply it was not just to you it was to another who also replied to that STAGGERING comment.

As to your Evri comment, would not know, never used them, but looking though threads on here most seem to think they are shoddy. 

But the fact remains that some buyers would  & do say an item has not arrived, when in reality it has, if a seller can not prove otherwise by not having some sort of proof of posting like tracking or a signature.

Most of mine seem to want free items . Even had on buyer say item not received even though is was sent special delivery and claimed it wasn’t her door it was handed to. One look on google street view proved it was her and she backtracked.

Very true - luckily with tracking, delivery confirmation and google maps it can be disproven except for those who send items untracked and have no defense - who then blame ebay !
