Well that's just freakin great!
|
So I ordered a set of centre caps for my wheels through ebay in early April, said it would be delivered between April 20th and June 6th. I got a China post tracking number that wasn't updated since April 14th and waited. In the meantime I installed the summer wheel and popped the caps out waiting for them to arrive, probably saw me capless at Rob's meat (wait wat?).
Well June 6th comes and goes, email the seller and he sends me the same tracking number that hasn't been updated since april. I get ebay involved, they set up a dispute claim that I have to wait 4 days for then call them back only to tell me to call back the next day. I waited an extra day and would call them today but went out to lunch first and put the oem caps back on the car.
Of course as i pull back into my driveway the mailman is there with the fucking caps for me to sign.
If I had just waited another 30 freaking minutes!| loudsubz |

Happened to me a couple times now, buying from China is getting ridiculous.
First time I got a refund then the package arrived a couple days later.
Second time I made the claim the package arrived the day of the claim, seller was understanding and gave me a partial discount because of the slow arrival.

I ordered something from Amazon that had shipped from Japan never arrived.
Disputed and refunded.
Order the same thing again on May 5th. Still not here. Expected to be here on June 20th.
When I ordered about 45 items for my biz via AliExpress(china), things came between 1-2
Months.

When I order random shit from DX.com, I usually end up forgetting about it ...
Then when they finally come, it's Christmas
That's the only way to go about this kind of shit when you order anything from China...

Yes same thing with me. Ordering anything on eBay by seller from China is a pain in the ass. It used to be 1 month wait time, now it's 2-4 months wait time. I have to submit so many claims to get my money back

I find sometimes Amazon stocks some more popular items locally with the price a few dollars higher. I usually just do that and with prime get it in 2 days and not have to deal with the hassle.

Ya, even though they said up to June 6th, I didn't think it would actually take that long to ship even from China. Will probably do the same with paying a bit more next time with Amazon or buying from a North American seller.
Although I did buy something from Ebay in Cali recently then got hit with an extra shipping/duty fee from FedEx when it arrived.

Most stuff off Amazon.ca comes in 48 hours even without the Prime account.
The 3rd party items takes a bit longer.

I love prime because I like to buy under $10 items all the time

Actually the OEM ones came off easy enough using one of those tiny precision screwdrivers, just had to laugh at myself that it worked out that way.
Just like when I'm working on an excel file. You will have it open all day but you know as soon as you close it, someone will ask you something about it that will make you open the file back up again.

That's china, they ship the cheapest way possible to squeeze a few cents for profit.
