I have even used the TM system as a buyer, when my seller wasn't confident about the system, and had no problems.
But I am not buying or selling rolls of fabric, or high value items. I don't trust TM that much lol...
You're lucky then. I suspect it does come down to the local driver, and clearly mine were hopeless.
I had one courier guy tell me he couldn't find the parcel in the letterbox. Well, duh, it was a parcel 3x larger than (our quite large already) letterbox. But you enter the dimensions into TradeMe's calculator so they knew it was a big one, and yet the courier was either never told this, or never bothered to read, I don't know.
