Greetings
I have refrained from posting about this until i received some information today , please note i am not accusing anyone of a crime
but rather telling of my deal in the hope of getting a resolution .
on the 22nd of Jan I purchased a Note 10 plus from this thread
carbonite.co.za
the seller asked me to pay and I did ,
in the thread it says he will ship the item via aramex store to door - there is no mention of risk on me , if there was I would have used my own courier .
He used his own discretion and as such in my mind his own risk .
Fast forward a week and aramex do not have any information about the package and the waybill does not show up as scanned into their system .
The seller at first denied any liability and then said if he must take the liability he will , but he cant repay the money and needs time , no specified timeframe .
He says he is not in a position to pay me back right now .
After considering his request I have asked more than once when he can start paying me back , to which there is no answer .
On Friday I got a call from aramex saying they are investigating and are very concerned with this .
There findings as of today are a follows
The shipment was never logged into there system
They have no record of any pickups matching the items listed .
Today they also uplifted cctv footage from the pick and pay ( and can i just say why ship from pick and pay , by dropping an expensive item in a box?)
There is no sign of the seller dropping off any items at the times he says and after extensive review , there is no evidence to support the claim that the item was ever put into an aramex shipping box .
The seller also sold a note 20 plus and used the same box as per him - that too has not gone to the buyer - i dont know who the buyer is ?
So these are the facts
I am only looking to get my money back as fast as possible .
Given the above and the accusation from aramex and pick and pay that the items were never shipped , I do believe this qualifies as a bad deal .
The seller has cited personal reasons as to the repayment to which i am sympathetic but covid has cost us all , I am in no position to lose 8k.
