disgrunteled clubber

[landkeeper]

Ok guys what would you do in this situation .i spotted something land rover related from a guy here in the classifieds, we had a chat and agreed a price for said items , he said it would cost 30 quid to post as it was breakable and would need to travel with a courier service I agreed .now i live in ireland at the moment but the parcel was to go to my home place in cheshire .
 now there were problems both sides after this 1st with the payment getting lost , but I resent it, seller got it and posted the parcel on the 4th of july  ,but the package got posted to the wrong address !!!!!!! :oops:!  I was told it would be reposted on the 25th of july , it still hadn’t arrived on the 2nd of august so I rang the seller again to be told it had been posted the previous Thursday ie the 31st july   ! annoying , as my parents had spent a week making sure there was somebody there to sign for a parcel if it arrived , and then to my further annoyance when it arrived on the 5th it is postmarked the 2nd :shock: and only travelled with royal mail and cost £11 and some pence to send   now i don't mind paying a fair price for anything but i object to this treatment especially as to my mind the seller has pocketed 19 quid for very little an old cardboard box and some shredded paper and a trip to the post office , not how i would do things [-X

[strapping young lad]

well you did agree the price.... knowing its size etc

caveat emptor or summink springs to mind

[landkeeper]

very true but i agreed that ,when it was to come with a courior! as according to the seller that was the only way it would travel safely .

If it was me, I'd take it up with the seller first.although going public may have prejudiced your case a little.

Following that I'd have then PM'd the Admins to find out how they could help.

Going public may have prejudiced your case a little in the eyes of the other party.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

Cheers

mmm
Well i havn't mentioned anybodys name or identity or even what the item was so identity is safe athe moment however i have all the pms to him from start to finish so we'll see
i pm the other party yesterday am but have no reply as of yet  i'll wait and see for now what his reply is
i will add for the record if the stuff had come when and  as agreed with a couriour then fine but iv'e been lied to and ripped off
maybe i'm wrong but i expect to be treated how i treat people  :oops:

[diggerdog36]

I swapped a few parts like light guards and a few lamps nearly a year ago, but the other party has never sent the return items!!! 
Even though Ived been reasonable and offered an alternative

Small claims court only costs £35!!!

sadly due ti these instances, I tend to state "cash on collection only" ........ that way there's no misunderstandings!

[muddyjames]

I sold some items last year to a mc member that had quiet a few postings and they said they wanted them relatively urgently and as I was going on holiday I posted them before getting payment as I thought MC'ers and land owners were all nice. Lesson learnt. Never got the cheque.

I am affriad it happens and lesson needs to be learnt and just dont deal with the person again.

[piggysteve]

I had eactly the same James I sent a part to someone who posts regularly and seems well thought of, guess what no cheque. Luckily it was'nt for a lot but thats not the point, I'll help anyone out but it dents your faith when someone takes the mick does'nt it.

[muddyjames]

certainly does steve.

[landkeeper]

well i got this reply on the 7th august one of the administrators asked for details and contacted the seller but he has yet to reply
