I think they get paid per parcel so don’t get why they’re such dicks about themThe guy at my local Evri shop is really rude too. He got rid of his label machine but refuses to amend his listing on Evri for some reason so people are constantly coming in needing to get labels printed and can’t. He makes you put the package down in a corner, scans it, barks ‘name?’ at you then throws the slip on the counter.
Mind you, if I had to deal with Evri all the time I’d probably be bad tempered too.
I think you just need to mentally detach from it's back story and just donate it to a charity shop. It's easy to think that way, I get it I really do, but as someone who had to clear out her Mums wardrobe when she died it wouldn't bother me what you did with it to be honest. It's just stuff. Memories are the things to cling to.I received an item that is in terrible condition, it's vintage and it did state it has some imperfections but not as many as there are really. I can't wear it due to how itchy the material is too (obv not the sellers fault) but the thing is - they sent a note saying it was their mother's favourite item of clothing, and she had passed away last year.
I know we never know where are clothes are from and when we purposely choose vintage items it's not strange that the people who wore them are no longer around but it's the first time I've actually been told that and it was a bit jarring.
The main thing is - I would keep it if it were in wearable condition or not itchy but as I can't, I don't really want to donate it for it to be then thrown away when realised it isn't in sellable conditon. I'm sympathetic to the fact someone loved wearing this and want to almost respect it in a way? Any ideas on what I can do with it to make something out of it or somewhere it could be of use? It's pure wool, so not sure if I could unravel it and knit something else with it.
So sorry about your mum. That's helpful, that's what I would have done if there was no note attached!I think you just need to mentally detach from it's back story and just donate it to a charity shop.

Absolutely. And it’s not easy. But I think the older you get you realise that you can hold on to everything for sentimental reasonsSo sorry about your mum. That's helpful, that's what I would have done if there was no note attached!
Wtf, I work in an office. I’m not NHS or anything else considered “special”. Can I have it for freeI also work in care.

It can take upto 48hrs for the shipping to changeHi tidy tarts. Dropped off 8 parcels this morning, got 8 wrote on my receipt (Evri) one parcel - most expensive one obviously- has not had tracking updated. Just had notification that it’s time to ship. Does anyone know if this gets picked up when the driver collects? Common sense would presume it’d be scanned by the driver before they all leave the shop.
All the other 7 parcels have tracking available tho..I think it’s got missed when scanned inIt can take upto 48hrs for the shipping to change
If it makes you itchy just wearing it, then knitting with it is probably going to be even worse.I received an item that is in terrible condition, it's vintage and it did state it has some imperfections but not as many as there are really.

Why are those shoes on the bed ?£20 & £15, apparently “very good condition”

I wouldn’t have put that note in. It’s not fair to put that on someone else. I get she was trying to personalise the thing for you, but its just upset you more. Honestly donate. Someone else will find it and fall in love with it.
I dropped it off at a charity shop yesterdayIf it makes you itchy just wearing it, then knitting with it is probably going to be even worse.
