Thought a thread for people to post in who have missing parcels / lost deliveries / postal frustrations ......hopefully the thread provides comfort for those who have lost records in the post or encouragement that they may show up.
...Anyway.... decided not to buy any records online at all during December to avoid any delays, etc / and also wait until after Brexit.... so as a new year treat I made half a dozen purchases on discog's, etc over the past week.
Haven't had much luck with any of it this week tbh.
1) a discogs order I made - seller got back to me after x4 days after .....sorry item sold in shop so not available
2) bought an LP from France...arrived super quick.....opened package ...wrong sleeve/pressing/ version...not listed properly by seller.
...seller offered refund not worth the hassle sending back for refund as it's on 25 euro record but feel I over paid for the pressing he sent
.....the pressing seller sent averages 4euro .... the French pressing I sent averages 25 euro
3) Another discogs order....paid straight away on order.....8 days later...not heard from seller at all ...starting to get worried. they have my money
4) Post office frustration.......posting a record to Belgium......in post office had to fill out a customs form....damm Brexit!!!!!!!!
lastly this is my main stress today.......
5) Played catch up on some new release/reissue LPs from last years, things spotted in end of year charts etc.. so made a decent sized order from a great store in Germany via disco's....parcel sent with DHL tracking ....DHL confirmed it was delivered to myself at my address yesterday afternoon at 13.38.......no delivery was made at all...I was in all day and ...at that time of delivery I was actually at my front door chatting as had decorators in.......... Any ideas? Assume DHL driver has dropped off at wrong address? what else could it be... where will I stand with this one when I go back to Seller....as far as they are concerned the track will say it's been delivered, surely? any one been in a similar situation? .....wanna explore all options before getting back to seller
