I sold an item and posted it on the 22/9/10, I have the proof of postage.
Buyer tells me it’s not arrived, and I have no reason to doubt this but it’s only been a week and Royal Mail say I have to wait 15 working days before the item is considered lost (So 14/10/10) and I can claim for it.
Fine so far, but the buyer seems to be getting agitated. I’ve made it clear, very politely, that I will issue a refund if it doesn’t arrive by 14/10/10, but that we have to wait that long first.
As far as I can see I’ve played it by the book, but is there potential for the buyer to cop a strop about this? It’s not a huge amount of money involved, but I don’t want to loose out….
Whaddya think?
