Description of Bad Deal:
I regularly browse Carbonite for deals from resellers to support the little guys, instead of going straight to the big tech companies, on this specific day (Jul 30, 2021) I was looking for either a 5900x or 5950x.
I saw the thread from @DrAgOn_Heart and decided to send him a message to enquire about the item. One of my must haves is an invoice (when bought new, from a reseller), reason being many (tax, insurance, resell value).
Our conversation, went as follows (personal information cut out of screenshot).
Since he confirmed he can do an invoice, I decided to go ahead with the purchase.
On the 2d of August, I remind him of the invoice, and he confirmed that he will sort it out
The 4th, 12th, and 16th of August, I sent more reminders
And the 2 reminders, is where is started to his demeanor, this was on the 18th of August and 21st of August.
At the end of the day, I obviously did not get my invoice. I left a bad rating as I now have a product, which is without an invoice or any form of proof of purchase to provide to both the insurer, and to the tax man. I obviously would not support this person again. Luckily, all resellers aren't this unprofessional, and with the 20 I have dealt with in the last month, have all provided invoices no questions asked.
The invoice is just a piece of paper (digital) to prove that I actually bought the product from said person. It takes about 5mins at most to make in simple tools like word (like I stated in my conversation, nothing fancy).
To make matters more interesting, he left me a nice little feedback msg. Please take note, I paid him the full asking price, the same day I enquired about it.
Image of deal thread, incase it gets removed/edited:
Note, nowhere does he say he state that he doesn't provide invoices, only states he doesn't provide POP, which, to me makes sense since he is a reseller. He cannot provide his POP.
To all potential buys, I would stay clear of this person. He makes promises until he realizes he is too lazy to create a simple invoice. My assumption is that this will be the same issue when any of the products need a warranty claim, if there is even a warranty.
@Administrators, if you could remove the bad rating from my profile, that would be appreciated. As you can see from my msgs, I was friendly throughout, and the delay between the reminders, does not equal "bugging"
