I sold some face cream in early Dec.
I sold about 20 of these - some are taking forever to get to the States and others take about a week.
I sold one on Dec. 18 and today (that's just over 2 weeks) I get this email:
"I still have not recieved this item, this is getting to me. I would hope to get a refund, as I am tired of waiting for this item"
Now, I fully understand that it is frustrating that Canada post takes so long. Especially since she orderd right before Christmas it's going to be extra long.
That's also why I have this in my listings:
Please Note
I cannot control the postal service as I am not that powerful - I am Canadian - we are known for being polite and enjoying beer - not for our telekinetic abilities. Sometimes your package will get held up in customs which I have no ability to control no matter how hard I squeeze my eyes shut and concentrate.
So my question is -- what do I do now?
With shipping that's about $23 I could refund her the money but the cream is almost to her now. I know that that's not a lot of money but....
So she gets her money back and free cream all for being rude?
I've had others ask about their shipment - nicely - and I have always apologized profusly and also sent them something else too - but this ebayer is just being rude.
Aaargh - what to do, what to do?
Thanks =)
