More postage questions

My car failed it's MOT, it has a bull bar on it, I thought I'd sell it.

I have people queueing up to buy it, if I can post it. Mine is £150 less than anyone else, who offer free postage, so why can't I post. Ask the couriers I say, it actually states that on the listing, because of it's size and weight, it will cost £116.50. When you tell people that, they say they could drive down and collect it cheaper, that IS why it is collection only or arrange your own courier.

Wrong size!

It seems that the ever increasing waistline of UK residents is in denial. Over the last month or so I have sold several items that customers have asked to return because they are too small!

Sold a Size 10/12 wetsuit that was far too small, funny, my mrs is a 10/12, fitted her perfectly.
Sold size 7 boots which were too small for my customer but way to big for my mrs who is a 7.5
Sold an XL size that I could squeeze into, I am an XXL, but the customer said it would fit his 11 year old, that is a big family.

I know I am an XXL, I wouldn't lie about it, I wouldn't buy something smaller hoping I might shrink in time, yet it seems many others do.
