My new gripe for the month haha.
For the life of me, I don't understand why buyers are so lazy. They are given a tracking number so that they can follow their shipment and see where it's at and when it's going to arrive to them.
I'd say most buyers follow their own shipments but it seems like a good portion of them don't.
I get these kinds of messages a lot. A buyer orders something from me and it's only supposed to take about 2-4 days to arrive to them. For some reason they wait 30 days and then finally message me telling me they never got their order and want a refund because it's taking too long.
When I go and check their tracking information, I see that it was already delivered to them 4 days after they ordered it. I tell them to double check (a bunch of procedures) and then they say oh a neighbor had it or it was at the post office waiting there etc.
In my head I'm thinking.....geezuz you lazy bum! If you just track and check your own shipments, you wouldn't have to wait so long and then get all angry at the seller for doing their job.
Why the heck does anyone even wait 30 or 60 days after they ordered it and supposed to arrive in just a few days? Why would they wait that long and think not to check their tracking information? Dang....i hate buyers like that! haha...
Now of course you could say that as a seller, I should follow up on every single sale and message the buyers and ask them if they received their orders well etc....but I don't do that because I don't think it's necessary. For a small timer, that makes small profits, you'd have to turn this into a full-time job to constantly monitor everyone's orders for them. I do check now and again on some orders just to see if tracking shows delivered but I don't always do this. It just makes sense that a buyer should take care of their own order and if they have a problem then contact the seller. Don't ignore your tracking number and then even wait 30-60 days after it was supposed to arrive and then get angry at the seller cuz you didn't get your order.
