eBay bargain.

I have just bought on Friday, a 5litre container of car screen wash concentrate off eBay for 3.99 with free delivery
Amazingly the container was sent from Middlesex to Manchester by AIR, before being delivered to my home Today (Bank Holiday) by DHL.
That's what I call good service.

4.99 litres of free water and a dash of el cheapo white vinegar - no wonder they can pay for freight.

Maybe in the Australia, the home of our all our transported criminals and their offspring.
The situation is a little different here in England

24 million Australians.
Estimated 160,000 have any convict in their family tree -
and most of those were for petty offences and warped British "justice".
(7 years for pinching a loaf of bread for your starving kids).


And of course, there are NO con-merchants in the UK
(or gullible 'customers').

Agree, some Ebay sellers amaze me. In the past week for example I have ordered two heavy items (2 man lift) items of oak furniture from Yorkshire, both arrived next day by 10.30am to my home on the south coast.

Another time I ordered two double beds complete from a company near Telford late afternoon. They arrived here at 7.30am next day.

Smaller things, this week I ordered a printer lead. Grand cost was 0.99p inc postage. How do they make a profit ?

Last week a bag of white cement , delivered to the door from Yorkshire...ta thanks as I do not want to spend hours and spend more looking in town and lifting.

Re: eBay bargain.

A company I deal with just sent us emails warning about some products being offered on EBay which were only imitations of what they were stated to be.
Sometimes if something is cheap, it is cheap for a reason. IMO.

And how is she working out ?
Is she a good cook ? Does she keep the house clean ? Does she do as she's told ?
How is she at washing the car and mowing lawns ?

More importantly, does she cater well for your personal "needs" ?

She's waiting for her travel docs before being released from quarantine
