I usaully reply to a sale within hours to thank the seller for their purchase and confirm when the item will be posted, which if they're lucky will be the same day, but usually will be the next day. In 95% of cases, I also folow up with confirmation that the item has actually been posted. It has never yet been more than the next working day, and I will often post on Saturday morning even tho' my conditions say next business day. Notwithstanding this, people still leave less than perfect 'star ratings' for dispatch time. I think some people, despite selecting second class postage can't understand why it isn't with them the day after they paid at midnight...........sorry, feeling a bit jaded at the moment.
