Hi, thanks for your purchase and speedy payment of this item. I have been unable to post the item to you as i have been waiting for packing materials to be delivered to my house. They are promised to arrive tomorrow morning. Your item will them be carefully packaged and sent first thing in the morning.

Hope this is OK. I am very sorry for the delay, but you should have your item very soon.
Thanks for your patience.

pretty poor excuse as she could nip out and get packaging, unless she is a bulk seller?

...and it's a t shirt...how careful does it have to be fgs!!!

Exactly, I dont mind if she just bungs it in a carrier bag, and tapes it up with parcel tape.

Not a very good excuse, but I don't think a week is too long to wait for something.

Not a good excuse. She should have made sure she had packing materials before the auction ended, or failing that she could just buy a padded envelope at any newsagent or supermarket.

What does her listing say about handling time?

its only been a week.

maybe she ordered packing materials before auction end and things that end have been slow. i have been in the situation of waiting for packaging as well. i bulk buy as its cheaper and keeps p+p costs down.

Royal mail are on a go-slow here (major kerfuffle)... wait another 5 days, then question it

I send things wrapped in inside out plastic bags etc but some people just WON'T.
I'd give it another couple of days.
At least she has given you a reason, I've waited longer than a week, completely in the dark, for some items!
