  Cant we just say NO!
Posted by: Oldfellah - 27-12-2021, 11:51 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (21)

A Rebels gang member who has lived in Australia since he was 4 years old will be deported to New Zealand over ÔÇ£significantÔÇØ fears he will reoffend.
It comes despite the fact all his family, including his partner and young son, live in New South Wales.

Cant the government just tell the Aussies to stick it we dont want them , or is it not in the kindness manifesto?

  Brilliant TM Chat service.
Posted by: crafters_corner - 24-12-2021, 02:39 PM - Forum: Trademe Discussion - Replies (3)

I was flabbergasted and so upset last night, when someone decided to give me 5 red faces, because apparently it took too long for her parcel TO BE SENT....not delivered, but just 'sent'.

She purchased 5 items from me, very late last thursday night. The earliest it could be sent, was this Monday just gone. Because of the time of year, being busy with my TM sales, and life in general, I booked the courier this Wednesday. It seems like a long time, but think about when she purchased, and when I could send it, and trying to stay within that reasonable time to send out parcels....

So, before she even got her parcel, I got the 5 red faces, with varying mentions of how late I sent it.

I spent quite a while this morning trying to use the TM Chat, but it was always offline. I was almost going to give up, but I thought I'd give it one last go. I finally spoke to someone at about 2pm this arvo. He said to fill out the form, which he sent me, and I promptly did so.

Well, within about 30mins, I got an email from Trust & Safety, and they agreed with me, and have removed all 5 reds.

Absolutely brilliant service. I know that I would have stewed over it all long weekend, and I am so thrilled to bits that it's now done.

Well, just one thing left to do. Blacklist the bitch for doing that, and putting my little business into disrepute. I work hard at gaining the respect of the wonderful people who buy from me, and having my TS status means alot too. These small things are my gift for working hard.

Oh, and she got her parcel today. One week after ordering them. She will never be buying my crafty goodies again, that is for sure.

Well done to TM. I have always been loyal to them, and will never sell my goodies anywhere else, because they provide the best service for me. TM, you ROCK!!!

  My local fruit and vegie shop
Posted by: Oh_hunnihunni - 24-12-2021, 10:36 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (20)

has been taken over by an Indian family and is a vast improvement on the previous business in variety, service, and price. They have opened another shop a bit further up the main route so now we have one close to each of our competing supermarkets, which keeps them honest and competitive.

Yesterday though I noticed a wee sign by their door that said they were open on Christmas Day, and it made me wonder about the way our legislation supports religious holidays of the Christian variety, but doesn't pay the same respect to Muslim, or Hindu, or Jewish or any of the other faith based celebrations. 

If our local fruit guys get clobbered with a fine as has happened in the past, would they not then have a case for state based religious persecution? 

Is it time we took a hard look at our own social bias towards one faith?
