Didja insure it for at least the value of the item?

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
3 times and it's average £200? Are these things all from the same place or random? RM aren't usually that bad...I'd be wondering if I was getting scammed tbh. (Definitely if they're all 3 ordered and paid for up front to the same outfit...but they'd have to be pretty brazen to pull the same stunt regularly on the same punter).
PS I'd have thought it's the job of the supplier to insure/claim/refund you or send again.

Which actor will play you?
Even bland can be a type of character

I would have thought the sender makes and gets the comp claim and if you want full tracking cough up and pay special delivery.

I have other people that use the same person and don't really have any issues! But you've put the idea in my head now!Count Steer wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2024 3:01 pm3 times and it's average £200?

I've done loads of orders from them before with no issues. It's DJ equipment i look forward to then it just goes somewhere else. I have no idea what Louise will do with 2 new Ortofon Styluses unless she just so happens to be a DJ!
I have a mate that has kindly offered to go get it from the address as his parents live in Falmouth but Royal Mail can't even give me that info!
I am going down to RM thurs to see what happens in person. Fingers crossed something positive.

It's me so no.
It was a second hand purchase from a personal seller.

Send 'em back to the seller for her 25% cut?

Old cars with non LED headlights. FFS they are like candles and I nearly pulled out on one last nght thinking the lights were reflections of street lights! HTF do people drive at night with only with those dim things to light the way??

On the flip side, driving at night is becoming harder and harder now, i don't think it's just down to age/eyesight, but down to cars lights and being blinded constantly. Whether it's drivers leaving on mains, or badly aligned or even just headlights that are simply ridiculously bright, i'm not sure... but night driving is really bloody horrible

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I preferred the dimmer less focussed headlights. I have very bright lights now that are well focussed for dipped beam, they won't be shininig in anyone's eyes. The problem is they make the road very bright for 20 metres in front but after that I can see nothing, I took the car back soon after I bought it but was told that is how they are designed.

Not to mention those drivers who drive along dark unlit roads with only the dipped beam on....weeksy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 10:33 amOn the flip side, driving at night is becoming harder and harder now, i don't think it's just down to age/eyesight, but down to cars lights and being blinded constantly.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Every winter I think about slapping a light bar on my car, as my commute consists of 45 minutes of unlit country roads, but there really is no need, even with weedy 55 watt old fashioned bulbs I can still see perfectly well.
Maybe its time for you to pop into specsavers or ask for your bus pass to be issued early.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I drive two cars on a regular basis. One has 'traditional' 55W halogens (2006) and one has the very latest and greatest 2 megapixel 'digital matrix' LED lights (2023).
I know which I prefer Every time I drive the older car in the dark I end up getting out to make sure there's not a bulb blown
