When nightmares come true.

The seller needs adding to the BAD TRADERS list in this forum, that is a costly mistake,,,,, well thats if you can call it a mistake!!! :evil:
Iv just recieved some bits from Brooklander023 and it took me 3hrs to unpack the parts, due to so much bubble wrap and air bubble polythene bits and strong tape and super duper jiffy bags.

Gee

Did you do it to music and was there a sweet or other small present between layers?

Bad luck mate, I feel your pain. I bought a mint Gazelle Champion Mondiale roadbike from a seller on here... well, it was mint until he posted it to me and didn't put anything over the end of the hub axles, which put a dent in the frame. In the end I got some money back from the shipping company, and the seller helped me with this, but what was most upsetting was that this lovely roadbike had survived 25 years without getting scratched or dented, until a careless numpty couldn't be bothered to package the bike up properly.

Is your Goat just scratched or dented as well? If it's only scratches, look on the bright side, it could have been worse.

Some people are stupid and some are lazy... seems like this guy was both! I get obsessed when I'm packing stuff, completly over the top with wrapping and tap.

piss poor inideed.

look on the bright side, at least you didn't receive a heap of bricks or some $99 walmart bike instead. :?

seller is taking the piss knowinig you are in diffent part of the world so there'll be no come back.

try to get your cash for packaging plus more - item not as described - from paypal.

sad really as you'd think the US, the land of the freed, fighters in the war agasint terror and supposedly are upstanding indivuals to set an example for the rest of the world are in my opinion are the biggerst con artists - I've been ripped off on ebay maybe 3 times, two of those by US peeps; whereas thinking I'd get ripped off all the time by the Chinese, never had a single problem, not vcounting the fake sony headphones but goet full refund, not consolation really since they are shit and unusable.,

:twisted:

350 million people in the USA and you have a shi#y experience with TWO and make THAT sweeping generalization? I'm sorry you didn't get treated the way you expected, but that still isn't an excuse for making the stupidest and most baseless statement I've seen on the internet in years.

Wow. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Not to mention the 2 billion Chinese people you just assumed would all be crooked....

This seller:

There are millions of pics to trawl through but the ones at the bottom of the listing show how he packs his frames & forks. Bomb proof!
