have any of you ever lost jewelry that someone had bought from you?
what did u do if this happened?
if you were on the other end, how did you react?

Never happened to me, but if I was on the other end, I would be a little pissed at first, then just disappointed. If I lost it, I would bang my head on the wall and look harder for it. Sorry to sound pessimistic, but that's how I would react in those situations.

like, lost the plugs someone was going to buy before you recieved their money or after? itd suck for them, but i guess just mail/paypal their money back to them.

yeah i'd be dissapointed, but what happens happens, you can't change that.

and if i was on the other end i'd just headdesk and give them back their money apologising profusely.

i've been on both the sending and receiving side of jewelry that's been lost in the mail. i returned the money when it was my fault; so far i have yet to receive a refund from the person who currently owes me a lost pair of KAOS (and i'm pissed. i thought everyone knew you can't send half inch eyelets in a regular envelope internationally...esp when envelope thickness can't be more than 1/4", duhh)

dude.
my first EVER lj transaction..
the chick was sending me a pair of those acrylic double flare star plugs? with the glitter.. you know what i'm talking about?

from the U.K..
in a regular paper envelope.

/headslamdesk.

then pulls this .. "well..i talked to someone in punkmart.. and they say if you can prove it was the post office, then i can give you a partial refund..."..

this was a loong time ago..
but still.
i was thinking to myself.. BITCH.. YOU JUST MAILED PLUGS IN A REGULAR ENVELOPE, AND YOUR BLAMING ME FOR THEM GETTING LOST. THEY'RE PROBABLY STILL IN YOUR DAMN COUNTRY...

grr.

jesus. this turned out to be a long post.

haha that's traumatic for a first experience!

my dumb moment came in trying to send Tess (trippahone/messoftess) 2ga acrylic flesh tunnels in a regular envelope. i was still really new to postage/shipping stuff that others have purchased and i didn't know the rules on thickness and such. Tess received a torn, empty envelope. gosh, she was SO cool about it though, and i think she forgave me, since we've been amiable since :D
i'll NEVER make that mistake again. bubblies all the wayyyy

[stucking_foned]

yeah. i'll gladly pay another buck just to make sure my stuff gets here.

tess= the shit.
i've know her for.... .four years now i think?

omg i love that girl.

[stucking_foned]

yeah. both ends.

i've had things get lost in the mail... money get lost in the mail...

that's why i always tack a dollar onto everything, and stuff the envelopes with paper.
it has to be a quarter of an inch thick to get delivery conformation..
and printer paper is like.. five bucks.

if you really want the stuff.. you'll pay shipping.

yeah, I make sure everything is in a bubble mailer thingie and I just pay the extra postage or whatever.
