Item posted then tracked to recipient's work address, buyer claims no show

[maroubramagpies]

Hi some ideas / advice from other sellers please, this has not happened to us before. We posted an item with tracking to the seller's address (his workplace) as shown on ebay. He claims not to have it , even though he saw the tracking steps showed it HAD BEEN delivered to his workplace.

We also checked the tracking steps via Aust Post website and according to the final step it WAS delivered to his workplace.

So, as far as we are concerned, we have followed correct procedure, as has Aust Post; is there any requirement of us to reimburse him for a parcel which appears to have 'disappeared' once it reached his workplace?

Thank you

The point was the first post by alana was an admitted continuation of your posts. Spin it any way you like - you're outed.

As the correct spelling is 'miniature' there is another glaring giveaway.

But continue on. I don't get a lot of laughs.

Hang on, no one has been outed.. Unless I'm missing something, alanawent was just quoting sweetap's post but the quote marks and the "1sweetap6v8 wrote" which would usually be at the top of a quoted post are missing.

This bit is sweetap's post which alanawent was quoting:

@littlefrench, well you obviously didnt read properly now did you. I said using a spy or miniture camera where you as a customer would not even be aware it was happening and seeing how you que way back from the person being served it would be none of your business.

Not to mention as a business its classed as a open house and as long as you do not disclose the persons face in public it is totally legal.

And my PO is rarely busy and only at certain times morning and late afternoon and sometimes around midday. And seeing im a stone throw from it I can choose when to lodge and do it when its quite which is quite a bit of the time.

You can see the quotation marks at the end but not at the start of the post

This part is alanawent's reply to the post

good grief!!

what a load of

well you know

I agree with patch on this.  I think some posts have been disappearing, including the post that alana was quoting.  Lot of that about lately on a number of threads.

Obviously there was more to the post but I didn't think it needed to be posted again

Why would anyone embarrass him or herself by filming in a post office and what if staff or customers object to it ? Do you send a DVD to Paypal ? It wouldn't qualify for Funniest Home Videos......

By using a spy camera :^O - which I would think would be highly illegal as it is an invasion of someone's privacy, and as far as I know you can not film someone without their knowledge and approval.

But all that aside - What a rigmarole to go through when all you need is a postal receipt showing the address.

Or if you want to be really pedantic, type a list of addresses and get the AP staff to stamp them when you hand over the counter.

Yes - you could say to a staff member " I am James Bond. "

Hey cat - I've noticed the fish has been staying away from you. 😉

I haven't seen sushi on the boards for a while - maybe she is real busy, or maybe she really is worried that the cat was hungry :^O

I've seen her this week. I think she knows you are around although you've changed your ID. :^O
