Some buyers lie when they file INRs

[bigdeals.etc]

During this time of "in transit, arriving late" packages I've been getting quite a few INRs. About 55 by now since BF.

I've been noticing a good number of buyers who have resorted to lying in their comments and messages. But I wonder why even do that. It doesn't change the facts or the issue at hand at all. Many of them have been telling me that they've never experienced the USPS delay thus far and the popular "All other packages I ordered were delivered on time to me." Yet I see neutral and negative feedbacks the buyer recently already left for other sellers either saying the item was delivered late or not received.

What's the purpose of these lies? To try and persuade me to make the packages move faster? Or do complaints and exaggerations go hand in hand?

I'm waiting on a couple of things I bought as gifts... I just told the person (cuz both happen to be for the same person) that unfortunately they won't be here on time, and they were understanding and cool with that.

Some people like the print out idea so they can see what they will be getting.... others don't because it ruins the surprise.

I think if it's something the person knew they would be getting, a print out showing that yes, you did order it, is cool...but if it's not something the person knows about, I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise with a picture. 

That is just my preference though.  My dad told me he ordered something for me that is totally up my alley but won't be here on time... I don't want a picture, I am more than willing to wait for the surprise 🙂
