Have had a mail from Tim which explains the problems with a courrier (I was not at home so they took it back to Ireland ?)He's willing to sent it again to Belgium, now to an other address. I suggested my work which is open 24/24.What a courrier that was, they should hang him by the ...So maybe everything will be allright after all ?? I'll keep you updated !!

cossie daz

thing is ive used him as i have said in this thread earlier,ive got all the parts ive ordered but had no communication back from him

but hearing the problems that others have with him and the money that they are out of pocket i am having second thoughts

And yes there is always 2 sides to a story .

just a quick thanks tim just received block and two idle speed control valves !!

came within 3days

just one small complaint ... stop wrapping things up so good
took 10mins to get to it lol

Micky The Finn

this is so often the problem,why do folk get stuff sent to an empty house?

i hope they didnt go back to ireland though!

with reference the above parcel,we sent this as soon as payment cleared,the parcels went to belgium,the guy wasnt in to sign for them,took 10 days to get a contact phone number off him,and by then they were returned back here,busines post use parcel farce to deliver euro parcels now!!so took almost 6 weeks to get both parcels back to the exact same place they were to start with!!end result,we charged about Ł60 postage,less paypal fees i actually get alot less than this,and its cost me just over Ł200 in extra charges because you were not in!!

now ive said i will resend to a business address only,and this will now cost me a further Ł60,


so whos the fucking cunt now then???????????

bet some of you passion fruit warriors would be a little pissed aff if one sale had actually lost you around Ł300 cash because somebody wasnt in?and this happens weekly and daily.

beleive it or not 99% of the problems are with the buyer!and i end up not getting stuff sorted out fast because an incident like above actually took around 5 hours to sort out in total.

and then i get an email as follows,

selling on ebay,a sapphire cosworth 4x4 steering rack,message as follows "high mate will this rack fit my 4x4 sapphire cosworth?" and there are hundreds similar,so forgive me if i ignore you!!

and "hi mate,whats your address to send payment to?" usually on an invoice with my adddress no more than 3cms away on the same email.

then the cheque turns up with no delivery address,so i email for an address,get no response,so send to the one on ebay,oh and then guess what,the parcel gets returned back here undelivered because the buyer moved a year ago!!



and you all think the sellers are scammers and cunts!!try walking a mile in my shoes.

as for anyone losing money,you tell me who has? because the only one who has has been me!!

rant over.

Micky The Finn

what communication do you want?the parts turn up well inside the listed delivery time,why do i need to comunicate with you?are you going to pay for my time?

whats you ebay user name so i can add you to my very large blocked bidders list just incase you accidently baught something else off me by mistake. wouldnt want you getting ripped off.

It's Czech Mate

So what does this add to the thread? Nothing, you paid for goods and recieved them....good good...what else do you want? A fucking bed time story?

Micky The Finn

you have genuinly made me laugh there,thanks.

brightened up whats so far been a shitty day.

and i thought the stock market would be better to deal on than cosworth parts.

Tim,

If you have sent the goods and the carrier could not make delivery due to the recipient never being in and as a result they have been returned to you then there's no way I would be sending them back without the customer paying the expenses incured!

cossiecrew

to right whys that your problem? you should of simply explained what the cost was going to be just because they wasnt home i dont see why you should have to pay again

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

I get the same shit every day , People asking for parts to be delivered to an addy where they know there will be nobody home , then 2 days later there on the blower moaning " wheres my stuff, you said it would be here the next day " fucking would be if somone was there to sign for it

Pisses me right off , why the fuck do people do this

Paul

cossiecrew

do you charge the postage again paul?

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Yes mate i do , why should i stand the cost for total idiots

bigjim172000

Thats fair enough, i always ask for a shipping address and check someone will be in when its going to be delivered. Trouble is some companies i have bought off wont send the parts to a different address other than the billing address. This makes it impossible for me to be at home when im at work. I have to ask one of my neighbours to keep an eye out for the courier.

fordescortmk1

When people are not at home, 99% of the courriers leave a little note in the letterbox so you can get is at there depot.After more then 300 ebay buys, this is the first time the courrier doesn't go to the neighbours and doesn't leave a note. Some of them even leave it at the door or throw it over the fence ...People do go to work you know (how would we pay our Fords ?)In my opinion the courriers are the reason for al thim problems, not the seller or customer !

yesterday i recieved the refund through paypal for the diff.
thanks TF

cossiecrew

i totally agree with you mate im shocked that tim put himself out of pocket theres no way on this planet i would of done that

Micky The Finn

so you would be happy for a pair of cosworth cranks to be left on your doorstep or thrown over the fence unsigned for?

r500

glad to hear it mate ,

but with respect tim can you start leaving feedback for us lesser mortals ,im sure you can have an auto feedback system when you have a shop

fordescortmk1

Gave Tim an address which is open 24/24h (policestation where I work) but nothing showed up till now ?No communication since, very disappointing I think.I am willing to pay extra shipping costs if the goods finally show up, how is that ?

Rs Baz

yes your right there why hasnt anyone had a card so thay can collect then ????

id say tim has had problems with peaple not given correct address

Mad Matt

iTrader: (2)

Tim, you've got PMs regarding the parts you have for me.

glancy2081

bought a few parts from tim always as described and always arrive no problems

fordescortmk1

Anybody has the new address and phone number of Mister Finch, will be visiting UK next year ...

twinturbo

I have used Tim lots of times ( even for a cooker )...

Everything I have had has been a bargin realy, they even do personal delivery for me at a reduced cost from the stated postage. Have collected a few bits too and they are alwasy freindly even early on a sunday morning.

TT

fordescortmk1

Guess I'm the lucky looser then ?Still nothing and no communications possible, he must be very rich if he does this on regular bases ?

Micky The Finn

what are you waiting on?

fordescortmk1

A refund would be nice or the two cosworth cranks and clutch fork delivered !I paid him more than 600 euro for these ...

Micky The Finn

you mean the two cranks sent to you as soon as you paid but you were not in? so the parcel couldnt be delivetred?
and you suggested them be thrown over your fence?

Micky The Finn

the above is the parcels journey back to me,costing a lot of money,i asked you for a contact number at the time,you gave us it about 10 days later,the parcel came back here,

so if you pay for the redeivery and all the postage costs it will be sent out at 3pm the day you pay,but not to the unreliable addres you gave,only to a business address as the parcel needs signed for.

i did my bit last september,what else do you want?

iTrader: (1)

you have not 1 clue about being a Good courier then have you, you sound like 1 of them people who moan there parcel should off been left cause you had to work, and when the courier does leave the parcel cause your at work you will be the first to say you havent recived the said parcel and try a fleece some free goods. Listen you know you have a parcel coming it takes 2 mins to Track your parcel on the net so why do you and countless other people still go to work when you know its arriving on that day or leave a note to say try a neighbour if out!! then a good courier will try the neighbour and leave a card to say which one job done no time of work for you and you still get your parcel

nuff said

Micky The Finn

andy.this is one example of what not to do,as if a courier is going to throw a 600 euro parcel over the fence into the back yard!!!!!!!!!!1

i fooking ask myself why i bother,then all those wanting to suck paul off come on board as iff he is god,he is a nice bloke,but no better than me at sending a parcel out,its once it leaves here the fun and games start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fordescortmk1

Well, after having bought more than 300 things on ebay, this courrier is the first not to leave a note or call the neighbours.Tim, I you have PM. Let's try it again ...

SteveH

Hang on, this thread was started because of an issue arising after someone buying something off ebay? Though you are getting communication from the seller on this thread (which I assume is why it has been left open) Tim has no responsibility to reply here in public should he not want to.
I will leave this thread here for now unless I hear otherwise from Tim, as this has nothing to do with passionford, and there is no legitimate reason to bring it up on here.
Tim, PM me if you want it removing, unless you are happy for it to continue.



Steve

I have also closed this thread.

If you want to reply, and have a legitimate reason, please PM me and I may open it should your reply be of value.
