I'm happy to report that the CD arrived successfully in Russia!
A different CD that was bid on by someone (in my country) that never bothered paying, and so I opened a non-payer case after asking if he was still interested and had no reply. The guy hasn't replied to the non-payer case yet, either, so if I get no response does that mean my fee will be returned after a total of 30 days?
In the meantime, I gave the original bidder a second chance, and he paid in about 15 minutes of me doing so!
Something I'd like advice on from people in the UK. I've tried to find a box suitable for sending boxed sets that isn't 16+ cm tall. Staples and WH Smiths have deals with DHL, so you have to post with DHL if you want the box- and it's very expensive postage. The post offices don't have suitable boxes.
Ian (MBassoc) told me about one box from Staples that he uses (that's not connected to the DHL "deal"), but I couldn't find it on their website or in my local branch. Any suggestions?
