Mariner89 0 Posted December 18, 2015 In the past month I have had 2 watches go MIA after handing them over to PostNL ... luckily one of them finally turned back up at my house after a month of being missing. Also I've had a camera get charged VAT as if it was a brand new camera and at the 2008 sale price as a new model even though I bought it for less than 100 euro. And to top it off I've had a watch I bought from a TD supposedly sitting at a sorting facility for 3 weeks but every time I call them to enquire they can't locate it anywhere or give me any information. Either I'm retiring from online selling or I'm going to have to switch teams to UPS or something. I'm up to my eyeballs. Please tell me that others are having these troubles and it's just the holiday rush and not my own bad luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mariner89 0 Posted December 18, 2015 Oh and to top it off ... the watch that finally showed back up at my house was returned in a different box with 4 other items that aren't mine included in the box so now it's on me to hunt down the owner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UmpaHimself 222 Posted December 18, 2015 Maybe a combo of both. I returned my phone to Verizon as they upgraded me. Now they claim they never received my phone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genius 281 Posted December 18, 2015 I always thought one of the best things about Amsterdam was the laid back attitude and widely available narcotics.... Great when you are visiting.... Not so great when the postman has both those things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerommeke32 0 Posted December 29, 2015 Sounds like a very nice holiday gift you got! I am glad some TD's offer transshipping via UK, I have ordered 3 times on DealeXtreme but nothing ever entered my mailbox.. Also I have already lost 3 bank cards in the mail (which require a very frustrating and long proces of receiving pin, card en reg code over and over again....)
