I had a household appliance up for sale, and was contacted by someone who lives about 40 mins away with an offer.
I accepted the offer, and we discussed collection. She was coming this way on -day or -day, and would be in touch at the weekend to let me know which day.
I marked the item as "sold subject to collection", and sorted out some bonus books for her. She didn't get in touch. I messaged her to ask how things were going. 2 days later, I messaged and asked if all was OK.
A couple of days after that, a craft Item I'd made at a workshop was ready for collection, and the collection place was about 15 miinute detour from the village/town where this lady said she lived. So, I messaged her to say that I was going to be driving in her general direction to collect something, and I could deliver the appliance to her if that was easier
Nothing.
I'm not cross, I'm just a bit..exasperated. I imagine she changed her mind, but I do wish she'd just said.
Instead, I've wasted two weeks waiting for her and trying to contact her, and now I have to re-post the item. And, I've had to mess arund the person i'm due to collect from.
It's exasperating.
