Advice please

Most Swiss are scrupulously honest, so bearing that in mind, we posted off a parcel to a gent. in Winterthur who absolutely promised to pay on receipt. Guess what? No money, no answers to repeated requests for information in emails [polite until now] = nichts! Postage alone cost CHF7.00. He does live at the address as we sent round a friend to check. The enclosed book was expensive to buy, and was a speciality item. Note, this was not on eBay or Ricardo, but on O-Bei RRO.


What would others do under the circumstances. Will it do any good to name and shame? Very disappointed in his behaviour to say the least.

in the future, send these types of packages by C.O.D ( "nachnhame" or "Prestations complémentaires Remboursement") whereby the receiver pays the amount of the purchase and the postage cost.

@ Jeffrey - yes, I certainly feel like doing something similar to this drastic method of attack but fear it is not really practical - it's a long way from Evian to Winterthur and he surely knows this and is laughing - Oh well, you win some you lose some.


@ Alan [is that right]? there wont be a second time - once bitten, twice shy.


Thanks guys anyway. Never again!
