Had to deal with a very strange italian in the past few days:
- I sold a rare tape/cassette/MC on 24th March 2015 to Italy.
- The guy paypaled as a gift.
- I showed him pictures of the packaged tape.
- I shipped the tape.
- I wanted it registered, but my invoice said, it´s not registered. The dude at the post-office did not hear me or whatever.
- The rare tape did not show up in Italy.
- On 25th March I shipped another unregistered not-so-rare tape to the same guy, and he got it.
- The guy is unpolite, wants a full refund after just 10 days and the whole thing smells very fishy.
- Not sure if he deserves the refund or not. I did nothing wrong and he is kinda rude, making repraoches in every feckin message.

Italian postal service is the worst in the world for packages going missing. After losing 3 out of 3 packages shipped through eBay I no longer ship to Italy.

It's true, but I have no direct experience about. I've heard sometimes occur of burglaries by someone of postal staff itself.

Funny I just had an awful experience with an Italian guy at ebay who started to dictate his conditions after the auction was ended although everything was said clearly in the description. He became very rude, so I just canceled the transaction. I hope very few Italians are that annoying to do business with. I wouldn't post anything to Italy if the postal service is that unreliable.

This is actually two questions. My Type I seriously stained my beloved white IH Tee. a) Is it possible to completely wash them out or is there a good chance they'll be permanent? b) Will frther soaking help reduce the bleeding, would washing help or is it even impossible to completely stop it? I think that light colours look way better with indigo jackets, so I don't want to stop wearing them. Thanks

It really sucks if you ask me!!!

I never had a problem until that guy haha
Is his name Leo?.. I'm serious btw… If he is, contact me...
Nope.

@Max Power It should wash out. I have nothing permanently stained from indigo transfer and believe me, I get a load. Try washing the T before you resort to washing the jacket…

Thanks, just what I wanted to hear!

Totally missed your question Max, but completely agree with Giles. I have had similar experiences with a couple of jackets and shirts on some of my white tee's, the dye comes out in a 40 degree wash with no ill effects.

Thanks again!

The issues that you have raised are two: 1) bad postal service 2) bad people.
the two issues need to be addressed separately-
This is complicated. Usually Italian Post offer great service. The problems arose with the privatization of some services, in particular, the parcel from abroad, rest of the world to Italy. The Italian Post have assigned it to a private courier, SDA, which is the worst in the world, period. When you send a parcel to Italy, it's taken over by SDA. With SDA I had MANY problems, every times. It seems that lately they improved the service, but I would not bet. Two months ago, with my White's Boots I had the usual setbacks. With SDA do not give up. You have to get angry, threaten lawsuits, threatening them with physical violence. In my case it worked. But remember this: no need to contact the Italian Post Office, you have to look for SDA: www.sda.it
For shipments from Italy to rest of the world, as I said, I never had any problems. -
Morons exist. We have a great choice of them, here in Italy.
I realize that the two things put together make a mess, but unfortunately there is no solution at hand.
If any of you were to send something TO ME, please use UPS, I will be glad to pay the extra fees. Or GLS, whose offices are 10 meters from my house …

I don't think Italians are bad people George, on the contrary I have liked every Italian I have ever met (more than most English people). The Italian postal services do suck though.
