to expect someone...

[alexw]

to acknowledge receipt of a parcel of stuff I sent not only free, but didn't even ask for postage cos I thought they would be grateful??

They should acknowledge receipt (with effusive thanks of course) but naming and shaming is not on IMO. They have not promised you payment and failed to deliver.

I agree to calm down
If it really turns out she never thanks you then take it as one of those things.
But it hasn't even gotten so far so please don't let it decend into yet another bitchfest

Am calm, just a little disappointed - think this thread is gaining momentum of its own...

We had no post today either and I expect there will be a backlog for the next week or so. I'd give it time.

ok.

They may have striked round your way, but I counted fifteen post vans today in Oxfordshire and I got three letters AND a parcel.

Which is odd really because they normally make a point of losing my mail

Relax, order restored. email received... no more fighting. phew!

Did she see this thread???

phew thought it was me, I haven't recieved the pillow yet, posties all on strike here, had my cousin round today adter he did his shift on the picket line..

No, not you sgk!!

Would it not have been a better idea to email her first before starting a thread about her lack of acknowledgement?

Didn't have her email address.

Sparklygt, did you get the door bouncer?

Oops did I kill this thread? Was just kidding sparkly, your sister thanked me more than enough, I give things away so I can get rid, not so I can wait for the grateful thanks!
BTW if you find out you're having a boy I can drop some 9-12m clothes off at your sisters?

the rm managers manned some sorting offices and delivered themselves (goody goodies)

FJ sorry been out this evening, SIL has texted me a pic over, but she didn't make it down for dd1's birthday as planned, but she will be bringing it down as soon as she can get down south. Thank you so much I am sure that it is great and baby will love it
