I've had eBay/Palpal refuse to give me a refund when the item was never
delivered and returned to the seller instead.
I had something not delivered, and the tracking info was
inconclusive/contradictory. I waited an extra week, asked
Ebay for my money back, and got it. I can't remember
whether it was the seller or ebay that refunded it.
A week later the seller contacted me to say the item had
been returned to them, and did I still want it? No, I didn't.
I wondered about the tracking info, and whether the seller
had even had it in stock in the first place.
Friend of mine has a problem with the delivery people.
He lives at 123 abc Circle. That is off ABC Road and there is a house
number 123. Seems the delivery people get on the Road and do not
understant the Circle is near the end of that road.
With tracking being fairly good if he orders something, he tracks it and
if it is marked delivered and he does not see it, he goes to the 123 abc
Road house to get his package.
I have the inverse problem. I live at 3 X Rd, and keep
having deliveries for 3 X Close. The worst case was a
"delivery" of roof height scaffolding; that company
wasn't amused by their incompetence.
Despite it having been there since 1930, it
- isn't on most satnavs; they mutate the postcode
YYY 9HL to YYY9EA
- isn't on google maps; ditto
- it is on bing maps, but isn't searchable
- it is on openstreet map, since I put it there
I've trapped out all but the most incompetent fools
by:
- having the other occupant replace the first line
of their address with "opposite the supermarket"
- 3D printing a brass sign "Not X Close", and fixing
it adjacent to the bell
