I don't believe you'll ever have the slightest problem with Leon V.
One of the really good guys.

Like I said earlier....There are a tiny number of 'folk' that I wouldn't touch with a bargepole....Having dealt with them before.
If they ever came back to me.....It would be "Money up front please !"

Not ever giving them the chance to again keep me waiting for well over 9 months for payment.
I did fall for it a second time.....Muppet that I am....They won't ever get a third chance !
(Just to make it clear - I did get the money eventually.)

There's one company (who I won't mention) who I've never dealt with, who have a dreadful reputation amongst designers.
Like I say....the designers do have a grapevine for warning each other.

Cheers - Phil.

Three other paths are open to you.
• The first is simple. Kill Your 'friend'!
• Or, Kill your self!
• The third is to ensure that no one else ever gets one of your models off eBay...

No Mollinary, it's  just a wild stab in the dark - which, incidentally, is what you'll be getting if you don't start posting more often!

Point taken!  (see what I did there?!).

By the way V, didn't you miss out a line:

"So you do know her, then?"

I apologize for jumping back into this thread again....
There was definitely another thread where we've had a bit of a 'rant' about postage rates etc.....But I'm b*ggered if I can find it at the moment....So here it'll have to be for the time being.

I just want to have a bit of a moan about the so called 'recorded delivery' service in the UK.
For an extra £0.95p (on top of first or second class postage).....the deal is supposed to be that the recipient of the letter/package actually SIGNS that the package has arrived....The sender being covered for (I think) up to £46.00 if the package goes missing.

Well.... For the third time in as many months, I've had a recorded delivery item left on a pillar by the front gates....Without signing for it.
As, if I understand correctly, a sender simply gets a 'proof of postage' when he sends a package off.....he's covered for up to £50.....For free....What's the point in recorded delivery ??

Rip off or what ??

Cheers - Phil.

The very nice people who sent me the 'unsigned for' recorded delivery item today have replied to my query.....Bless' em.
Apparently business post can't use 'proof of postage' as a potential claim against the Post Office...Though they could have used proof of postage to get some recompense via Amazon, in this particular case.
THAT'S why they sent it recorded. (Anything over £30 they said)

Thinking about it...Using proof of postage could end up as a very nice earner if a business was trying to con the PO out of money....I understand now...Though it's still naughty that I didn't get to sign for it !

Cheers - Phil.

I'm not sure on the difference between the two to be honest.  I know PayPal require one of them if there's a dispute lodged, but which one exactly, I have no idea!

Back in the days before I escaped from the financial services industry (sometime in the early nineties) it was well known that "registering" letters was a waste of time. And we were sending out important documents like birth and marriage certificates and insurance policy documents. 

Have to admit, when I send the wee men off anywhere I always use special delivery. (The new version of registered mail.)
At least I should be covered if the package goes AWOL.

NEVER EVER had one of those go missing.....though a recorded item with just a single figure in it went 'bye byes' a few years ago.
Put that down to a Christmas 'temp' thinking there was something worth nicking in it....Barsteward.

Got paid for it.....by the PO....In the end.

Registered/special delivery items get 'signed for' each and every time they swap hands..(or they certainly used to)..So you can soon see who's to blame if one goes missing.
Recorded items just get put in the normal post bags.

Cheers - Phil.
