How long do you wait before giving up?

Im waiting for someone to collect my sofa after selling on Facebook. They’re 15 minutes late. Should I give it up and get on with my evening?

so annoying.

I always arrange a pick up of my items for sale for times when I would be home anyway. Randoms off the internet frequently let you down unfortunately, it's part and parcel of online selling. Often picking up isn't as much as a priority for them as getting rid is for you. It's very rude but that's what happens quite a bit.

15mins is nothing. They're prob lost or stuck in traffic. Give them a break.

They're picking up a sofa from FB - they won't turn up. Sorry OP. But there are so many free sofas on my local FB pages - no one really wants them.

Weird. They might be coming from really far away. If they are driving they won't (shouldnt!) be reading or replying to texts!

I'd text "go you need to collect this by time, I'm not available after. Thanks"

What would you be doing if you weren't hanging around? are you meant to be going out?

If she turns up at 8pm I wouldn’t answer the door. I’ll give her until 7.30. Fuming as my evenings are so short and I’m just hanging around.

I'd probably say an hour !

I'd say 30 minutes or at a push 45, it's so annoying when they just don't let you know.
