Infrequent Ebay Seller but sold a Nikon D7200 DSLR Camera on Ebay for £450 plus £25 postage to an elderly pensioner (like me).
I am unfamiliar with Ebay postage and knew nothing about packlink.
I paid £25 for £500 insured postage on a medium parcel weighig 5 kils to what I thought was Evri.
I took the parcel with attached label to my local Premier Evri Parcel drop off. I got a receipt and the parcel was collected by Evri a few hours later from the shop.
The parcel I sent never arrived at its Mansfield, Nottingham destination. Evri attended the customer's address 48 hrs later 13.08 hrs Sun 12 MAR and handed him a plastic mailbag containing a ladies dress.
He is an elderly widower and rejected the parcel on opening it and the courier took it away.
The customer contacted me and it appears that the parcel I sent has been lost, mid-delivered or stolen whilst in possession of Evri.
If you have purchased postage thru Ebay, Evri will not speak to you on the phone.
The tracking information obtained from evri is incorrect as its shows a female courier attending the address and it was a male.
I am getting nowhere with Packlink and am I am awaiting their next move before I make a claim.
I have recovered CCTV and still photos with the assistance of the parcel shop which shows me handing over the parcel which is clearly not a ladies dress in a plastic bag.
Any advice please as I cannot afford to lose £475 once I have refunded the customer.
