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!!!???
See my other thread Ian, but the point I was making on this one is why wasn't my item sent with at least a recorded delivery, that would of cost 70p or so extra and with the price of the postage on the item I paid for it would of still been cheep. That brings me onto people making money off postage, really annoying, but thats another story
