As someone who posted a parcel on the 7th, using Standard Parcels which both ebay and the Royal Mail clearly state takes 3-5 WORKING days to arrive, how pissed off am I that I've already been phoned twice about the whereabouts of the parcel. The first call was on Tuesday after which I scanned and emailed her the Proof of Posting receipt, only for her to phone again tonight. What exactly am I expected to do? Nip down to her local sorting office and see if I can find it in the mail system?

She won the thing for a £1 and the postage was a tenner. Royal Mail took almost £9 of that, and by the time I've paid for the tape and bubble wrap as well as the ebay and PayPal fees, never mind the fuel to take the damned thing to the post office, I'm out of pocket at this point.

But what I'm really fucked off with is this "HAS EVERYONE FORGOTTEN THAT CHRISTMAS IS JUST ROUND THE CORNER AND THE POSTIES ARE LADEN WITH CARDS AND GIFTS!!!???
