Hi Larry,
First of all, the address I sent him was extremely clear and all he had to do was
cut it out of a hard copy of my email to him, and stick it on the parcel.
Secondly, I never at any stage gave him my home phone number so I do not
understand why he used it in the mailing address.
Thirdly, one does not need to have any grasp of a foreign language to at least
make sure that the country to which the parcel is to be sent is written on the
parcel.
"Dopey" is the kindest way I can describe this person. I feel I am very lucky that
some postal worker somewhere on this earth actually worked out where the parcel
was supposed to go. All blame rests squarely with this "dopey" ebay seller.
I do not understand why you are defending someone you do not know over some you
do?
