lecatt Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 The scenario is you buy a watch and even though the dealer promises QC, it turns up with a number of imperfections and its evident the watch has just been dropshipped. Your patient, you wait, you incur return postage costs, you get told a story about a replacment being on route, but then get a contradictory email stating that the original watch is now fixed, although the main problem still exists and you think to yourself "i thought it was a replacement????" You wait for nine weeks, get offered various scenarios, none are ideal and then finally you lose patience and post on here only for someone to say "his a good un, he will sort it" and you think aaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh, obviously not that much of a good one or nine weeks after sending my cash I would have hopefully be just over seven weeks into the owenership of the watch instead of sitting here thoroughly [censored] off. Oh hang on though wait for the post that says "this is the rep game and its all part and parcel of the FUN of the game" business is business, receive funds, provide a service simple isn't it. QC my [censored] - load of bollox Rant over for now!!!! Actually on second thoughts no it isn't, if people are prepared to reimburse me for a days lost income and pay for the flights etc I wll go and get our watches and crystals back from that thieving [censored] Jakub - I accept paypal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Well sorry for you mate, now its all on the table, sit back relax and grab a beer Remember that the path to the perfect rep is the better half of the adventure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Sucks. But, that is why I like buying from the members on the board. They have done the QC for you, and a few scratches that I would likely have created myself are totally fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lecatt Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Red I think board trades may well be the future but I have used the so called Cartel for each except two of my previous purchases and not had a single problem, tell a lie one was DOA and it was replaced before I had even wrote out the return address. Slick, the issue I have is the lack of QC from someone who sells their service as based on it, although come to mention it I have never seen that wrote anywhere in the sales pitch, just what I have gleened from spending a while here!

Shundi Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Sorry to hear that man... who did you order from?? I also highly recommend checking the member trades and board area for some great deals (also, you know what you're getting and have a chance at recourse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
