I reluctantly agree to use GSP (this has a term that I and my friend describe in somewhat vulgar terms that I will not divulge...).
By and large, items have arrived in fairly good order but I had one item take nearly three months AND it bore a large tyre mark across it, with the package being torn. Contents still intact! Must have been that old ex-RN anchor that I bought....
OK, we can't blame this one necessarily on GSP but it seems odd that most other postage involving private sellers has never had this treatment (ok, one utter dreamer who sent a lovely enamel badge overseas in an ordinary envelope surrounded by a sheet of writing paper- badge barely contained within "packaging"
)
Maybe like others, I will be a lot more careful about bidding on lots...
