Items arrived smelling of smoke - yuk

Buyer was kind enough to take a cheque as my paypal went haywire, but items arrived today (four items of clothing for ds), and they smelt of stale cig smoke. Bleurgh.

What is the etiquette here then? Never had this problem before.

erm. wash em

elmoandella · 22/08/2008 22:53

yeah, you'd wash em anyway.

SammyK · 22/08/2008 22:55

I have washed them custardo
As soon as I opened the parcel I could smell smoke and they went straight in the washing machine as I knew if ds saw them he would wantto wear them.

I am enquiring about feedback / contacting seller etc.

Never mind.

i wouldn't give negative feedback. but do put it in feedback.

for example "quick delivered, but smelled of smoke"

LynetteScavo · 22/08/2008 23:02

Unless the listing stated "from a smoke free home" or similar, you cna't really complain to the seller.

Agree with elmo re feedback.

SammyK · 22/08/2008 23:13

Thanks I will do that re: feedback.

I can't rememebr if it said from a smoke free home on the listing so I will have a look before I leave feedback.

Does anyone know how to remove the smell of stale smoke from a leather jacket we recent bought on ebay?

We've had it professionally dry cleaned which cost £35! but it still reeks after being hung out in the garage for 3 days?
