Hi,

i ordered some bark mulch on eBay on wednesday April 15th where the parcel also got accepted at post office. however, on sunday april 19th the tracking status updated to "Sender preparing item" and it didn't changed since then. what the :nana they do which this bark mulch though? it also says "Handed to: Delivery partner" and i'm not able to track it there. did anyone else had that kind of problem before? i really just want to have some bark mulch now...
look at the pics in attachment

sincerely

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
