So ive been screwed out of £1550! :(

[shep_no_platinum]

Not really. You still don't have any money.

god, some people just want to wind people up for fun. I agree i havent got the money. But... tomorrow is the latest. Then i will go see my solicitor as he has offered me a free 30mins to state my claim and he can tell me if i have enough evidence and info to settle the claim.

All i can do it is wait. I only have Thursdays and Sundays off. So i can do anything today anyway...

 

[shep_no_platinum]

WTF... you send 600 pairs of jeans back to someone WITHOUT a tracking number? And left this whole thing 70 days before really taking any action Are you serious? Wow, that is stupidity on a mind-boggling level.

where do you get that info from?

 

[shep_no_platinum]

Sorry I presumed that since the guy said he hadn't received the jeans that you hadn't got a tracking number for the items and so they wouldn't be signed for. Are you saying the guy DID sign for them and you had it tracked?

He arranged collection of jeans. I had no way of weighing these jeans and when the courier came they took them and delivered them. However there were also 3 bags of jeans that were forgotten to be sent back so i personally arrange each of these bags to be sent back (note: these were never open when received and had the same amount of jeans that were sent out in them). They all weighed 28kg's and this was noted on the courier order.

However his collection courier service was noted as a max weight of 1000kg and never had a specific weight when they arrived or were sent out.

He said he has proof they weighed more when they were send out to what they were when he got them back.

I have no way of prooving this so he had me over a barrel with that... thats why i just took it as it was and called it a financial loss in which you learn from your mistakes.

If he wanted to refund you it takes about 30 seconds on Paypal to do so, he doesn't need his business partner's signiture or anything.

Well if you knew paypal, you would also no that after 60 days a refund cant be given.

 

[shep_no_platinum]

And if you knew this forum you would be expecting some of these replies!

lol. oh dear... why post if it isnt productive? Some people are really helpful of this forum, others are just rude, some just like making jokes out of everything and others love posting off topic comments.

 

[shep_no_platinum]

Well ask him to show you the proof. I'm afraid I agree with all the people telling you it's time to stop taking anything this bloke says at face value. He sounds like one of these people who goes through life trying every trick to get something he hasn't worked for, making life a misery for everyone who comes into contact with him. Get down to your solicitor, get your free 30 minutes of time and get the FULL amount back that you paid him. Stop mucking about and don't wait any longer.

Id love to... but Sundays there closed and that means i have to wait till next Thursday.

 

[shep_no_platinum]

Havent got time to read through all of it but;

Sent out 429kg Recieved back 435kg No? So

Exactly, hes thick as two planks and thats the best bit of evidence i have. This is the first time he has told me he has sent the refund guys so ill just wait till tomorrow. I cant do anything until next Thursday anyway... but i suppose i could go in my lunch break Monday and see my solicitor. If i go through a solicitor i will attempt for the full refund and compo for stress and time taken to resolve matters.

I think what will help me is that fact he could have sent the refund through paypal like a lot of you say... however... he never and waited until after 60 days.

 

[shep_no_platinum]

No, I mean don't wait till tomorrow to see if the cheque has arrived. Stop thinking that it might arrive tomorrow and assume that it won't. Try and see a solicitor today or tomorrow.

Otherwise it'll then be 'next Thursday' and the bloke will have "sent a new cheque by recorded delivery" so you'll put it off for another week and then he will promise to "come round and see you to personally deliver the cheque" but his car will "break down" and then he'll have to "go on holiday".

at the end of the day as much as you think that would be the case. It isnt.

Also to the above post. Im not getting stroppy with posters... and im getting annoyed the fact they are saying the same thing...

Tomorrow i am working, and today i am. As i have said previosuly i only have Thursdays & Sundays off.

 

[shep_no_platinum]

I think you should sue him for both stress and wuss

lol

 

[shep_no_platinum]

At the end of the day as i have said previously.... i will wait. and im thankful for peoples posts n help and i will keep you all updated.

 

[shep_no_platinum]

Have you noticed a theme? Everybody on here says the same thing, yet you are not listening? Why start this thread? for everybody to go 'aww what a shame' and thats it??

Wont your work give you an hour off? God, have a doctors appointment or have to take your dog to the vets, serious bout of toothache anything, make an excuse, this isn't rocket science.
I can't believe you even paid HIM to pick up the good. I would have arranged for the person picking it up to have the cheque with him tbh. Did you even pay him money extra for the courier and not arrange to take it out your refund?

hmmmmmmmmmm... look a lot of you say get a back bone etc. I cant get out of work as im the only one in today. My solicitor is closed on Saturdays and theres 2 of us in tomorrow.

I have listened to people and not listened to others....

 

[shep_no_platinum]

Face it - the guy has not posted the cheque. If he had, it'd be here by now. Also his prior behaviour suggests he is taking your for a complete ride.

Alright, fair doos.

 

[shep_no_platinum]

Monday? Your work wont let you off for an hour for an appointment? Can't you do it over the phone?

Did you pay him extra cash for the courier?

The agreement was i would get a full refund once the jeans were with him. However because he thinks the jeans are fine then i would pay £50 for the return of the jeans. The cheapest courier i could find was £150 and told him this and he said woooooaaahhh.... i can get them collected for £50 so i will arrange and call you for payment.

 

[shep_no_platinum]

I just dont understand why you say you cant get time off work during the day, but you promise next day delivery on your ebay shop. When do you get time to send the tiems out you have sold?

I go home for 15 mins and collect my items and take em to the post office.

It takes 5 mins to get home, 5 mins to get back and 5 mins to bag up and drop at the dispatch depot.

 

[shep_no_platinum]

And you paid him £50 ontop of the 1500 you had already given him?
You should have used one of the ebay couriers, they are dirt cheap.

I paid £1400 for the jeans. £50 to send the 400kg(approx) pallet back and £50 for the 3 bags.

 

[shep_no_platinum]

You paid him the £50 for the pallet and £50 for the 3 bags??

yeh, he arranged collection from me as the cheapest i could get the pallet collected was £150. He arranged it, paid for it and then phoned me and i paid him over the phone for it. Then i personally arranged the bags to be collected for £50 via TNT.

so.... £100 for return delivery.

 

[shep_no_platinum]

Shep, would you like to buy some magic beans?

how much would you do 600 for and are they sellable?

 

[shep_no_platinum]

You where wanting a refund off someone, yet you paid them more money?? Seriously dude what the.......

I assume this also means you gave him your card details too??

yep, if you send an item back to OcUk that you no longer want... because you feel its not worth the money you paid for ... would OcUK pay for return postage?

No...

 

[shep_no_platinum]

Oh well at least you've retained some semblance of humour about it all

im not actually stressed about it. Because i will get an outcome. the only time ive got stressed is in this thread lol.
