Deal Thread URL: https://carbonite.co.za/index.php?threads/msi-armor-rx570-8gb.387941/#post-2553814
Seller: @Guiding_Ink
Buyer: @MrPopo
Description of Bad Deal:
So I purchased these 4 cards on the 1st of October and was promised on that Friday, that the cards will be sent out on Monday the 4th. Come Monday, no communication. After I enquire, @Guiding_Ink let's me know it will be shipped out the Tuesday as it's still getting packed. Tuesday, again no communication until I enquire. Then get told he'll give me an update on what's happening, and again, radio silence for the entire day. Wednesday, again no communication, so I enquire wtf is going on. He then tells me that his supplier will call me for "peace of mind". I then receive a call from a guy called Frikkie, who tells me about his broken bike and that he had a hell of a week (and a bunch of other excuses). He tells me it'll be sent on Thursday with overnight shipping, so I should receive it Friday. At this point, @Guiding_Ink stopped talking to me and gave this over to his so called "supplier".
So Thursday came and went with no communication, then I get told that the supplier's (Frikkie) supplier has sent the cards to his address and not mine, but it was shipped overnight. "Frikkie" sends me some ill taken screenshots of this waybill, screenshots that clearly hides the tracking number and just gives me recent information. So Friday, of course, nothing. I message him but no response. Saturday, no response, Sunday, no response. Monday, I send @Guiding_Ink a message that I do not want this anymore as I felt that his responses was unprofessional and quite concerning. I asked for a refund at this point. After multiple messages where he kept telling me, that he will personally sort this out and I would get my refund. Now today, Tuesday 12/10, his supplier calls me again telling me that he collected the cards and that it will be sent. I gave @Guiding_Ink until the end of the day to produce a waybill or a refund, and of course, neither of those promises has been filled, just like the countless other promises that were made during this entire deal.
That this kind of deal was made by a reputable member of Carbonite registered as a reseller with a company registered as well, with this level of incompetency, is beyond me. I've also tried to steer away from creating this thread, but in the end I feel like this was the right move.
As of yet, no waybill nor any refund has been produced.
