Will MN HQ be able to do anything?

Thread Here

Although its not a nice thought I can only deduce from no communication that I have been ripped off for my wedding bits that I sold in good faith at a much reduced price for a mumsnetter.

I also out of the goodness of my stupid heart sent her the necklace I wore on my day for her soemthing borrowed.

I cant "believe" this is intentional as she was so grateful in the beginning.

But countless and emails and threads on here have turned nothing up

Will MN be able to do anything?

thats what i thought katierocket

but i cant imagine sending another postal order uninsured or untracked after an initial one went missing

she did say in an email she coudlnt afford to send anymore money which is totally fair enough if true - in which case you return the goods.

The address definitely correct as i sent it again after 1st one went missing

very odd indeed. I too would be a right wuss about ringing but I think it's probably your only option.

Id like to work out the odds on one person in one year sending 3 postal orders and none of them ever getting to the recipient? Im sure even royal mail arent that bad.

And then to not rectify situation afterwards in either case is what makes it iffy.

I would ring, and say who you are and then see how she responds. If she hangs up, you have your answer.

I know it's going to be so hard making the phonecall fs.

However sc is the one with all the front to behave like this.

She obviously felt she could pull the wool over your eyes as you obviously are so kind and caring.

I would send an e-mail to her company direct and then in the main part address it to her and explain what's happened. Should shame her into doing something. Tell her you have sold it to someone else and need it back!

spacecadet · 06/02/2006 18:04

ring her.

I have already emailed company

Just re read an older thread and it says on there that it was sent recorded delivery - so cant see the problem? Would she have been insured?

Did you put a read request on the email?

Hulababy · 06/02/2006 18:07

Really think you are going to have to ring her fs. I can imagine how difficult that will be and I'd be dreading it too, but I think it is now your only option left.

spacecadet · 06/02/2006 18:07

recorded delivery only compensates you up to 17 times the cost of a first class stamp and cant be tracked all the way to its destination, only at the start and finish

I honestly don't see what a phone call will achieve. I know I'm a wuss, and that's probably colouring my views, but I can't see why she'd be more likely to respond. It would be worth it if she wasn't getting her emails but there's no evidence that's the case, is there?

As I understand it when you send a postal order the sender keeps teh counterfoil in case of this kind of thing happeneing - not 100% sure though as never sent one.

cant believe all this back biting is going on about fs wanting HER money or HER goods back ffs. i know fs in real life and know she is simply a kind caring person who wanted to make some one else feel as good as she did on her wedding day! i am sorry some people dont want to belive sc is capable of ripping someone off (fs included) but i do there may well be a reason but she HAS ripped her off. Personally i think some people on her just like to play devils advocate. Fair enough look at things from the other side of the coin, but in this case all fs was asking was if hq's could do anything? she didnt ask for people views on if she had been ripped off, let alone if others views on if she is being judgmental.

ladymuck · 06/02/2006 18:11

You need to phone her. She hasn't been posting for a few weeks. No idea why she hasn't answered emails but I could come up with loads of possible reasons (after Soupy hiding her pg for that long, anything is possible). If you ring her home number (try the 192.com directory) you are likely to get someone who knows her.

there well might be loads of reasons why she hasnt been posting latley but that does not excuse her ignorance of the LAST 5 MONTHS it is downright rude. LM i understand you are trying to fight sc corner but i really dont think she deserves it.

for the sake of accuracy its 5 months since the "deal" was arranged the ignoring bit has been less time by the time i sent the stuff etc

thanks everyone who has spoken up for me

at worst i have slated someone who has behaved badly towards me

at worse sc has stolen from me at best not communicated properly with me when in receipt of my belongings

i dont think im the bad guy here

fgs I'm not saying you're a bad person. I'm saying "Phone her and you'll find out more than by posting a thread like this". Then you won't need to speculate.

The only reason not to phone is because you're already assuming the worst.

spacecadet · 06/02/2006 18:34

still got it FS, thanks for asking
as socci says, keep telling yourself, you are not the bad guy, you just want answers.

Ladymuck - I reserve the right to post about what I like. Just as you can.

I will now phone her after this thread hasnt thrown up any information.

but there was every chance of this thread achieving what I needed.

I could have found out that MNHQ would give me information about if she is still an active member under another name.

Or someone that knows her better than me could have given me information that explained things.

Before I start ringing her at home was looking for more info.
