Auspost mailbox

luxory_jewellery — Thu, 18 Oct 2018 03:19:48 GMT

To ensure item that is being sent to buyer is scanned:
Do u guys put the mail in the street mailbox or over the counter?
And do u have any other method? I still work full time and cannot always go to the auspost office to mail and scan it during business hours?

Thanks

I put everything in a street posting box and while it may not always get scanned in the first hub, it's always scanned somewhere.

I always lodge an item at the counter. That way I get a receipt right away and can enter the number into the transaction so the buyer can see it's on its way.

Whilst some people pop an item into the box, you really never know if it's going to get scanned, and when.

Is there no PO near you that you can go to during your lunch hour?

We use MyPost Business and everything that can be dropped into the street red mailbox is. On rare occasions an item may miss being scanned at the local sorting centre but it is generally catched at the next one.

The AusPost helpline can always provide much more tracking info than available to the public online.

We have no problem in suggesting to just use the street mail box (we lodge 2-4 parcels a day by this method)

This time I get lucky, the item's been delivered.

In the future, I will always do it at PO over the counter - I will make time to do it.

There is a PO close by, but my work is quite busy so often I cannot just sneak out - even during lunch.

Thanks for the inputs 🙂

Off topic but you are still listing your Cubic Zirconias as diamonds in the listings.

"Thx guys for the input.

So far, my to do list:

- id> reflect cz instead of diamond.

- get description & title as cz right.

I've been taking product pictures so far. And got a thumbs up for my listing not violating ebay policies.

I'll resume ebay in the weekend.

Thx heaps.

I cannot remember everyone's name, but rabbit, cotessa, digital ghost, copenhagen, imatawska, thank you!!!"

Doubt it slr......................4 months and no listing changes..................

Re: Auspost mailbox

k1ooo-slr-sales — Thu, 18 Oct 2018 13:27:21 GMT

Sooner or later a neg will come, sure as night follows day!

ebay said:

- it is OK to list as diamond as long product specification = lab-made.

and I did that and it is that.

so it is ethical =).

Thanks for the concern and for remembering 🙂

Firstly, eBay's CS reps will say anything to get you off the phone to them (they don't write the policies), and secondly you would almost certainly lose an "Item Not As Described" dispute should the buyer open one.

Also as slr has said, Cubic Zirconia is not a lab-made diamond.

An ebay CS rep would also be likely to say that a lump of coal is a DIY diamond

They will say whatever it takes to get the caller off the line as quickly as they can

I have a question.

Can you provide me with a link to any website that provides information about CZ “clarity scales” that shows that the scale used for CZ is the same as the one used for diamonds?

The reason I ask is that I did a little bit of searching and couldn’t find any, yet you use diamond clarity scale rating VVS1/D in your titles for CZ stoned jewellery.

I did find this:

https://www.jewelry-secrets.com/Blog/cubic-zirconia-grading/

but that only talks about CZ grading having an A to AAAAA scale, with AAAAA being the highest.

I looked at your ‘9.5C Grace Kelly style Diamond Engagement Ring VVS1/D’ listing description and have some questions, but I don’t want to bog you down with too many questions, so I promise to only ask one question at a time.
