I'm curious, I ran across a UK seller with parts I'd like but in 5000
sales they have nearly 40 negs. Almost all of them have the seller blaming the
Royal mail service.

About 30 or so are people complaining about either missing orders, or missing
parts, and then the missing parts are mailed and those come up missing.

Basically almost all the bad reviews are claiming the order or replacements never
came
and the seller just replies with how they are not responsible.


Almost every reply is a version of "too bad, so sad". I find a
hard time believing this person isn't just ripping people off.


I've shipped, goodness, 6k parcels at least between various platforms and
I've had only 2 vanish. So will someone vouch for this person or are they
full of it?

I use Royal Mail to ship from UK to USA, Canada, Australia etc.. and have very
few issues! I have full confidence in my packages arriving with only the odd
inevitable package going astray but they are generally few and far between!

BS or not it's clear that this seller doesn't understand his responsibilities.

Yeah I agree. This was a far bigger red flag for me as well.

Despite it’s many faults, Royal Mail is good, very little of mine has gone missing.

Total BS.
