Quote from: Bigmac on Yesterday at 09:42:03 PMi think EVRI just make their tracking up as the days go by.

I have rarely had a good experience with EVRI. They once took a photo of an item in their van and said it was proof of delivery. I told them to "F" off. I got a full refund from AMAZON and low and behold the item turned up at my door the following week.

They are a totally useless shower as far as I am concerned.

When listing items on eBay, I try to send them 'postage only' with Royal Mail Tracked 48 IF I CAN. Sometimes, half-way through writing a listing, eBay says 'Your postage options have been updated' and it gets defaulted to 'Simple delivery'. I have not yet worked out how to get it back to Royal Mail, but usually if I copy an old listing with Royal Mail on it, it stays with Royal Mail...
I can handle Simple Delivery now I'm used to it, with EVRI and Royal Mail as the options for the buyer. INPOST used to be on the list, but I took it off after my nearest INPOST box was never able to accept my parcel 'cos the lockers were always full!

Slightly off-topic, a parcel I sent Royal Mail Tracked 48 on 10 August arrived with the buyer on 1 Sep, after I'd refunded him as it was officially 'lost' on 25 Aug. Royal Mail ain't what it used to be!

You used to just put the tracking number in. Can't you do that any more?

I had several of the hardback books back in the 60s, I'm sure they're still around somewhere...
