£550 stereo sold on ebay sent Parcel Force next day. Fellow wasn't in to collect, fair enough. Parcel Force ring me up "Umm, we sent it out for delivery this morning, but he wasn't in, but we can't seem to find the box now. We're sure it's in the depot somewhere. Can you describe the box for us?"
I was bricking it as I'd skimped on the insurance. It turned up 2 days later in the back of the truck!
