Title: Bloody FleaBay!! Or anyone live in Ol Blighty?
Post by: fatboycrash on September 17, 2007, 10:18:27 pm
So I'm as happy as a dog with two tails this morning. I've managed to win a cylinder and head for my 500xc Husky for only forty something pounds or about 100 bucks. The guy sends me an invoice for the item plus postage which I pay immediately. You bloody beauty, a spare jug and head for about 140 bucks. How good is that??!!
Should've known better.
Freakin pommy prick sends me a email tonight, and I quote:

>the post is £100 for a 9.5kg parcel
>so you owe me £95 to be payed in full by paypal before posting can comence
>thankyou for your purchase

What do I do? I have the receipt from paypal that I've paid his invoice in full. I've emailed him saying that I appreciate mistakes are made, could he reconsider? What do you reckon, would a jug and head weigh 9.5kilo's? 95 quid is 226 bucks. !!!!
Not happy. My only real hope right now is that Mr Mortlock and the boys serve out a little colonial justice and teach 'em how to play real rugby without a hand holding pansy freak kicking freak goals..... ;) ;) ;) ;)

best you get it weighed, then you can figure out if your being shafted or you should be looking to get it send via other means.  if it weighs less you get it posted to a freind in the UK to on forward it at the right price assuming he has listed the UK postage price, if its correctly weighed check online witht eh UK postage to be sure the $$$ add up, if its correct look at getting ti to a freight forwarders and getting it shippedin abox with a normal container shipment.  you need to do a little more homework before you contact him again/ or he gets cranky and wont play with you and keeps your money :O(

Well, I'm happy to report that we sorted it out via email. I still had to pay significant freight charges but I wanted to be fair about it. I think the sticker shock just floored me! >:( >:( Just one of those things.
I STILL hope Striling rips their bloody arms off 'though!
