Christmas is getting closer so

[*sparklz*]

 that is less Aust Post working days.

So to all the buyers out there, if you are looking at purchasing items for Christmas gifts via ebay  PLEASE take into consideration the longer postage times over the silly season due to the extra work for AP and DO NOT blame the seller if the item does not arrive to you before Xmas because you did not allow enough time for it to arrive.

Christmas comes at the same time EVERY year so all should be used to the date of it by now 🙂

So many buyers will choose to leave purchasing till the last minute and then expect the seller to have your items to on time.

Then the seller will get the blame (even if they post the day payment is received) when your purchase was a late decision and is not with you for Xmas.

And do NOT expect express posted items to arrive any faster. If your seller does not offer it do not get angry when they refuse to use it.

In the past way too many buyers leave purchasing Xmas gifts till the last working week and then say "Can you get it to me before Xmas day as it is a prezzie"

We are sellers NOT miracle workers.

That's my rant.

PS it is the same for Birthday gifts. The date is known since the birth so do not leave your purchase too late 🙂

Hello everyone, don't usually do this but what the heck, you only live once right? If you want to you can go into my store where I have written to anyone that wants to read it (aimed at buyers) that they are not to blame sellers for any postal delays at this time of year blah blah - my buyers actually call these boxes of mine 'mini blogs' Feel free to copy and paste the message if you want to and put it in your own shop - on every page lol
