Not EBay related but I’ve ordered a new sim for my phone from EE on Wednesday and it still hasn’t turned up yet.

It says that Sim only orders should arrive in 2 days via Royal Mail but I’ve had no text updates, just an email saying that they’ve received my order. They’ve given me a reference number to track my order but it just says “Sorry you can’t track this order type just yet”.

Is it me being an impatient wally?

No not at all, a week is a bit ridiculous and no tracking. Bah!

So yeah, they are pretty useless. Keep an eye out for sure.

I did have a delivery from ebay that said it had been delivered, but it hadn't. I pursued it and they sent me a picture if where the courier had left it. Luckily I recognised the structure of my neighbour's firewood shelter next to his house about half a mile away. I walked down there and there was my parcel.

I’ve had that before with a delivery but they leave a note through the letter box saying sorry we missed you, you need to come collect it. I’ve been sat in the dining room wfh and I’m like you didn’t attempt to knock on the bloody door.

I went on street view to identify the porch and hey presto there was my parcel

My friends son worked at the recycling centre during his holiday from uni, where the recycling bin waste is brought and he said the number of parcels that they received that couriers had left in people's bins that they don't realise are there before the bins are collected is ridiculous

[Holly Christmas]

Well they finally arrived at just after 8pm. Hello Boots! They are perfect, the right size and look lovely! I just wonder where on earth they've been fir a week and a half

I'd advise the seller not to use Yodel anymore.

I think I've mentioned this before on here but, a few years back they put my wife's brand new contract iPhone (so at the time worth well over £1000) in the blue bin... at the wrong house. Luckily, the owners were away on holiday and hadn't been using their bins.

Omg! What courier was that? Shockingly bad.

I think it was Hermes (now called "Evri")

Terrible. I've always had good service from Evri, but nobody is infallible. They should ensure it never happens again...

Yeah, Evri (previously Hermes) is the cheapest to use, but it shows. It's utter crap in my experience. If i buy anything on ebay from private sellers who use Evri now, i message them before paying asking if they could go through Royal Mail (which isn't exactly great these days, and much slower) instead and i'll pay a couple of extra quid.

He said they got loads of tech items in every day. ..its madness and such poor service really. Just lazy delivering. The amount of FB posts every day I see with people asking for info on places they received there tracking details for us unreal

…that’s the worst evil when you’ve waited in all day for an expected and promised delivery and there was no expected and promised delivery…no one called, no one text etc….then you see the note that was put through the door to say… sorry, you weren’t home…

I've left a mixed review. It's not Ebays fault, or the sellers, although the seller failed to respond to me querying why it was taking so long and advising them not to use Yodel in future. My review reflects this. I'm happy with the product, now that it's finally here, great quality at such a good price. It's a total mystery where on earth the parcel was for over a week between the courier receiving it from the seller and delivering it to me. Not what I'm used to with E bay at all. Hopefully a one off.

I use Amazon. Never actually bought anything on eBay.

It's cheaper Ness and usually very reliable. This is the first time I've ever had an issue, but mostly sellers use Royal Mail.

Ah ok. I'll have to try it. Amazon can be quite expensive.
