i am furious.

Mikey - i tried PMing you but yet again, your inbox can't take messages and you don't respond to emails so this is the only place i can maybe contact you (probably in three weeks time)

you didn't send the damn tension rods. This is absolutely ridiculous. this transaction has taken two months, countless pms, emails, messages, me starting a thread to try to get your attention, a paypal claim and you STILL didn't send the right order. I told you in the paypal description itself (as well as in PMs)

"This payment is for: 16 big lugs 12 small lugs 12 of the Trods and washers"

I can't believe this...now i'm gonna have to try and contact you for weeks no doubt, to try and get my money back probably to no avail.

(to the other members i'm sorry to lose my temper publicly but i'm absolutely fed up with this ridiculous transaction).

ALEX,First of all i sent the order out this pass FRIDAY June 1st.I did P/M you and told you the problem i was having..That is why i was later on shipping the parts out..Iam in the great U.S.A. you are in OZ land.Their is NO way that you got the parts in 5 days it takes 10-14 days for the parts to get to you..If the 12 T-rods are missing like you say i will REFUND your 12.00 to you..Wait i tell you what i will REFUND the 12.00 to you just to be done with you....Mikey

Hey Mikey. Still waiting on my refund as well. It has been a long time. Did you get your paypal fixed?

i'll post up some pictures of the box you sent me, Mikey, seeing as you don't believe me.

Geez i'll tell you what i wish there was a feedback based thing sometimes on this forum, coz this whole thing has been terrible. I managed to pay you STRAIGHT away and provided 3 times exactly what my order was, and my address a number of times, i always responded to PMs promptly.

Terrible terrible transaction. And mikey I'm not alone on this - I know its easy to get defensive, but when you have your own thread dedicated to people who want their stuff and are getting more and more impatient with you, I think that means its time to rethink the way you do business.

Mikey-

I know you've been going through sh*t. I had ZERO problems with our last and singular transaction; however, Mr. Gravy and I did a joint order. I know you're capable of doing everyone right- PLEASE do right so this forum can focus on things other than this and whether or not I like Keurig K-cups!!!

I have no beef with you other than how it seems you're not doing right by these other blokes, especially my friend Gravy. I understand how schtuff can get away from you. I thought you were STERLING in how you dealt with me; I just expect you to give other people the same service. Again- you came through when it was going to cost me HUGE $$$ on e bay. That is not lost on me.

Gravy did NOT solicit me doing this. He is a dear friend from many, many years back. Don't hold it against Gravy that we're friends.

Please, please please make this a subject that gets quickly relegated to the back pages of this forum, not unlike my silly musings. May G'd bless you in every single way, and may this forum be blessed. Thank you.

PayPal claim filed. Didn't want to do it. But I seem to not be getting through.

This thread is like watching a train wreck in slow-motion...

Sad...

It's been said that any advertising is good advertising,so Mikey is really getting some mileage here with over 2K views...

You are right , John! The sad thing is, it never had to happen. As you have said, "Trust IS a big thing"! Perhaps I am naive but, doesn't honesty, respect, and common courtesy count for anything nowadays? Yeah, I admit it, I am an old dinosaur but, I have always tried to be respectful and forthright in my life. I suppose this is not "cool" in today's world. I have no respect whatsoever for anyone who would scam a fellow member with B.S. and outright lies! Most of us on the VDF are not idiots or fools! We do not deserve to be treated as such by another member! Forgive my negativity but, I am tired of being treated like a moron by a certain "gentleman"!

I once watched a cat eat an entire bug and still polish off a bowl of food. It was fascinating. The cat ate the bug slowly and very deliberately, making sure to enjoy each and every appendage. Then, with blinding speed, that same cat knocked out a bowl of kibble as if it hadn't eaten in a week.

Simply fascinating.
