The postal service is a joke. I am being screwed by people on eBay for not sending stuff that I sent a month and a half ago. Bearing in mind I am in the UK, I Sent a parcel to Oz 2 months ago now and nothing has arrived, piss poor. I hate the Postal service, its crap.
Also, IE7 is the most unresponsive, useless pile of horseshit I have ever come across.
Thankyou, rant over. Go about your daily business. Have a nice day
Lol @ needproof!
You gotta laugh or you'd go insane - remember things can only get better!
re the postage problem - have you been sending them 'International signed for' (you get a sticker a bit like the UK signed for mail) at least you're insured for whatever goes missing then.
Which version of IE are you using? If it's IE7, try turning off the phishing filter when you're visiting sites that you know (if you have it turned on). Also when I first downloaded IE7, some of the Windows files got corrupted causing my pc to go slow - had to do a restore and reinstall. Hoping that's not the problem you have.
edit - oops, yes you are on IE7!
Needproof!!!!! If you're trading on ebay you should always get a signature for your goods that you are sending UNLESS they are particularly 'worthless'. Saves you a lot of hastle in the long run! But I suppose you know that by now!
Take care and remember.....always pay a big more in the postage for a signature and secure delivery.
As for IP7 - I know nuthing!!
Thanks guys, I dont send recorded or signed for because I am so tight, trying to save myself a few pence. Now I have lost a lot more! Agghhh damn the post. Customers are asking 'please begin tracking', but here in the uk, we dont have tracking; you just put your faith in a little red box and hope that the dodgy mail sorters won't pocket your package!
I really do hate IE7, i'll rant more later!
Needproof - I repeat, yes you can use international tracking!! Only an extra £3.50 too!!!

£3.50?!?! Daylight robbery! lol. Perhaps I should consider it in future.
I'm in the US and I don't have a postal problem.
I do have a problem with IE7. It s#%ks. My computer doesn't work like it used to. IE7 came with a new spyware program that caused my Norton Anti Virus program to fail, it wont work when there are two spyware programs in operation. Host of other problems as well.
Yeh, it's a piece of junk. It's so slow, Firefox is tons better.

Did you send airmail, or cheapskate surface. Surface mail could easily take two months. I would never send anything surface. On eBay the customer pays exact postage anyway, so it should not cost you any more.
I sent over 4000 items last year. Only 5 went missing, and two of those were to Holland.
The Dutch must have the worst postal system in the world; Royal Mail are actually very good in my experience.
Slim
There were a few here on the JWD with Firefox and they had problems pasting tags from You tube here. Do you know if that problem was resolved?
