Some orders fill easier than others
As you know, I sell things online, mostly books.
Would that I could just EMAIL the darn things, but no. I have to be dependent on the kindness of the Post Office strangers...although mostly they do pretty well by me, I have to admit.
But when we have a weird one to deal with, it's a doozie!
I sold a book to a man from Australia, who wanted it shipped to a friend's house in Seattle. Ok, that was easy enough. EXCEPT the book came back with one of those big yellow stickers saying the forwarding order had expired.
So I emailed the buyer and asked what he wanted me to do. I've tried just resending the books, and found that to be basically a really stupid plan I'm not going to do anymore.
He answered me from Qatar and we kicked around some alternate ideas.
At
present I'm travellıng ın Turkey, hence the strange
I's and the ırregularıty of my replıes. Please go
ahead wıth the paypal thıng, and ı,ll pay by credıt
card. Wıll check my emaıl agaın ın Istanbul ın about 5
or 6 days, ıt's a hassle where ı am now but we'll get
there!
Since he was going to be back home in Australia for a few weeks, we made arrangements to try to get the book to him there in his window of opportunity. I mailed it Monday, and hope to hear from him soon that all is well.
