Yeah it certainly gives you impetus to send things quickly. Ive been using 48 tracked for over a year now. I got tired of the eBay tracking that only told you when the parcel is delivered. It suited me cus it proved delivery but some customers got shirty when I couldn't tell them exactly where there parcel was. Also 2nd class looks like it's not sent on eBay and sometimes even when delivered. I think it's only 20p dearer than 2nd class. just passed the costs into buyers. Same with boxes. I used to bin dip and scavenge LIDL for them but now I just buy a load of 12" x 9" x 5" boxes and add 30p on postage.

 

Oh, for the days when you didn't know when the mail would arrive and you spent days in delicious anticipation! When I was 10 or 11, I used to cut out coupons in magazines to send away for travel info. I would be delighted to receive large envelopes with all sorts of information and photos of places. Has Google made things a bit boring?

 

when i started ebay in about 2002 as a buyer, about 1 thing in 4 you bought never surfaced, no explanation, nothing,

just a battle of bad feedbacks back then

 

Was all this back in the days when you had to go to the library to check your emails? Windows 98 and Pentium III was fast.

 

It's not boring. We have viruses, Trojans and haxors now.

 

Way before computers! Card catalogues and rotary telephones.

 

I was showing an elderly lady around the housing location I work at work today and discussing down sizing. She then went on to tell the virtues of her mechanical typewriter. She said its great because if you go to a third world country on holiday and there's a power cut, you can still use it.
