Liverpool band by happypat

Liverpool band

I took some photos in Blackpool today but accidentally deleted them.
Never mind here is a photo from our trip to Liverpool on the 10th November.
I know the exact day as I have been talking to John Lewis this morning by phone.
I. Bought something in John Lewis that day, had buyers remorse & decided to sent it back for a refund. Parcelled it up complete with receipt, recorded delivery, everything I was told to do.
The parcel never arrived!
I have a form to fill in from PO but have to prove what the item was worth. I payed cash unfortunately & of course the receipt was in the parcel. John Lewis is very kindly tracing the till receipt for me.

I know I will never parcel stuff up again without thinking it could go astray something I never thought would happen to me!!
I am hopeful of the outcome but still slightly worried...lets just say the item was not cheap!!

This was one of the best bands I have ever heard, just so lively & all the various instruments sounding wonderful together.

Three good things:
1. Reputable shops with a great reputation!
2. Fantastic poinsettia present today, so beautiful & Christmassy!
3. Collect in car service at M&S. Saved traipsing our shopping through Blackpool.
Nice street pic, hope they find the parcel!!

I think buskers are very brave

Super shot.
December 14th, 2015  
A super street scene. Hope John Lewis sought your problem out quickly.
December 14th, 2015  
Nice street shot. I think more than one person has spotted you!
How annoying when something so apparently simple proves to be so complicated. John Lewis have a good reputation.
December 14th, 2015  
Lovely street shot Pat. John lewis are very good and helpful so I hope you get it sorted. I learnt the hard way to always get a proof of posting from the post office. I lost an iPhone!
December 14th, 2015  
Lovely shot. Hope the post office sort it out. That's one of the main reasons I'm stopping the dolls clothes on eBay...i think the post office are terrible at refunding .... Appalling service!!
December 14th, 2015  
Ive been done by the po in the lasf few weeks.... sold some boots. All packaged up safely, sent recorded delivery....parcel arrived minus the boots... (supposedly....) either im the result of a brillant scam or something dodgy with the post service. So frustrating!!
December 14th, 2015  
Lets hope you get a result. You do wonder where these things disappear to
I had some cslenders go missing gor a short while but lucky they turn ed up
Quite a band of buskers. Great shot

Lovely street shot, Pat. Must be very frustrating...

@julzmaioro I am hoping it turns up but the 30th November is quite a while ago. No one rung from John Lewis either yet!
December 14th, 2015  
@bizziebeeme oh dear that does t fill me with hope even if I fill the forms in right!
December 14th, 2015  
@pennystot So do I Penelope......everybody looking at you!
December 14th, 2015  
@quietpurplehaze Yes I think they have, it's not them I'm worried about its the post office! If they can wriggle out of it they will!
December 14th, 2015  
@photographycrazy @thresheg @carolmw @gijsje

Thank you all I am keeping my fingers crossed & you never know it might turn up!
December 14th, 2015  
@newbank oh dear Ruth, did you fill a form in & did they reimburse you? I can't see the point of recorded delivery unless the recompense you.
December 14th, 2015  
@thistle Oh woe is me & that sounds worse than mine!! I am getting more dispirited by the minute!
December 14th, 2015  
@happypat Have you looked up on the post office site to see if it was signed for? I hope that at least John Lewis will refund you. I always take photos or photo copies of all important documents I send in the post as in the past had so much bad expience when dealing with the post office. I often wonder what is the point of recorded service??
December 14th, 2015  
@bizziebeeme John Lewis says it's not been delivered Laura so not much I can do there! As I paid cash I have no proof of value so hopefully once they send me a copy of the till receipt I can fill the post office form in & send it off. There is a worry that the value was not put on any documentation as it was posted. Not sure I think our post mistress in the local PO did it correctly. I am wondering if I should have sent it registered post but JL advised recorded. I have learnt a massive amount, stuff I will make sure I I take note of next time. Will,let you know how I go on. If someone had opened the parcel it's easy just to take the garment back to the shop & get a full cash refund! Very nice at Christmas time!
December 14th, 2015  
@bizziebeeme Ureeka Laura, I have just been on the PO website entered the tracking number & it says it was delivered & signed for at Liverpool!! So grateful for that information, I would never have thought if looking there! Will be onto John Lewis in the morning!! Big hugs to you! Might still not be enough but I am getting somewhere!
December 14th, 2015  
What a fabulous street scene, full of busy as the up here goes. Hope you get the parcel sorted, JL are at least reasonable to deal with
How is St. Micheals fairing
December 14th, 2015  
@claireuk Floods are receding Claire thank you. They hope to open the main road by Wednesday hopefully. Still pipes across the road piping the water back into the river but the banks have held.

@happypat We passed on the M6 today, going to see Mum, thought about you and my friend Lois who lives in Garstang
December 14th, 2015  
They put the collection box out so far that people would trip on it! I daresay they collected a lot of money if they were good! I tend to do that too - send off things without keeping receipts etc. If they find it, it may be a good thing to put that online for them! Oh, I see Laura has suggested something which gave a result!
December 14th, 2015  
great street scene Pat. Hope you have had some success by now.
December 14th, 2015  
@claireuk Oh call in if you are ever passing, would be great to meet up or otherwise if you come to Garstang we could have a coffee in Booths.
December 14th, 2015  
A great street shot -- looks as if the band is enjoying themselves !
December 14th, 2015  
@maggiemae Yes even I put money in that box.....they were really enjoying themselves. I have learnt massively from this episode maggiemae! Copy, copy, copy everything!
December 14th, 2015  
Great British scene - shoppers and buskers. Don't miss having to be wrapped up against the cold though.
December 14th, 2015  
Complete with the golden arches behind. ugh. but the band is fun
December 15th, 2015  
Love this wonderful, lively street scene!! Marvelous candid capture, Pat!
I hope you get a successful resolution to your returned merchandise. Sounds like you're one step closer as tracking indicates it was received by John Lewis.
December 15th, 2015  
Great candid Pat
December 15th, 2015  
Such a nice street scene
December 15th, 2015  
Great street capture. Hope the parcel comes to light soon!
December 15th, 2015  
@kwiksilver success Gillian I have been repaid, the parcel was delivered after all!
December 15th, 2015
