He said that it was posted 2 weeks ago and that the post office has mislaid it. He has sent proof of postage to Paypal and they are satisfied that he has indeed posted it and closed the claim. Now the bad news is that he sent it via uninsured mail which has really fucked me off because the post office offers almost nothing in compensation when sent uninsured. it doesn't mater how valuable the item is supposed to be all they will offer me is £30 for losing it. The seller had proof that he had contacted the post office prior to contacting me to find out where it is and they can find no trace of it. So that's it. the falcon is gone. I'm really pissed off at the seller for sending something so valuable without the postal insurance just to save a couple of pounds (which the amount in postage i paid would have more than covered this).So this has set me back a lot now.
Maybe this should be worked into ESB:R... instead of taking off to Bespin, our heros can simply evade the Empire by listing themselves on ebay and getting lost in the mail... brilliant!
I really am sorry to hear that though, ady... can you follow this up with the post office?
What i dont get about this: Why then did he talk about 'being in the hospital' and stuff, prior to this, if he indeed already had sent the falcon? This all smells very fishy to me...
