What to do if not contacted about item reserved for you?
Hi
An item was reserved for me and a pm was sent asking when could I collect etc. I replied with my mobile number, delighted and expressing thanks. Five days later I've heard nothing. I understand things can happen that prevent people getting in touch, with the best of intentions. Should I just sit tight and hope for the best? Is this a reasonably common occurance and I'm just being impatient? Many thanks G |

As Admin has said on a number of threads, good communications are key to the site's success. http://www.jumbletown.ie/forums/showthread.php?t=6871 Most Members follow our three/six days guidelines with regards to updating items (see post at top of all the Givers' forums), but some may not do so for a number of reasons. For example, they may be busy with family or work-related matters, have limited access to a computer and/or internet trouble, or be simply forgetful. My advice is to sit tight for now. If no response is forthcoming within a few days, forget about the item and move on. Admin can control what happens on the Public Forum -- it is the responsibility of Givers and Takers to manage their own communications for their mutual benefit. Regards Chris P Admin |
