Description of Bad Deal:
Good Evening,
I am going to try to be as detailed as possible.
I recently used carb to purchase a whole new setup.
I purchased various parts from various persons.
All where good deals, except for a monitor incident with Ruan, which was sorted out.
However,I also purchased from Locky, a set of Gamdias fans + Samsung NVME + Raidmax Cooler.

Firstoff, We started chatting on the 12th November 2021, i did an immidiate payment, like i always do, of R1450.00 ( @ 10:48am )
He confirmed the payment @ 17:49pm
On the 13th he sent me a picture showing that postnet is closed due to covid and he stated he would send via courier. ( @11:21am )
This all was fine, i had no issues.
On the 15th, i enquired about the couriers, as i have not received feedback regarding a waybill. ( @ 17:17pm )
He advised that he did indeed make a booking. ( @ 17:18 )
This was also acceptable.
On the 16th, i enquired again @ 11:26am
@16:14 He contacted me and advised he will be going to postnet to send the package.
On the 18th November 2021, Postnet advised that i can collect. ( @13:43 )
Upon opening the package, i saw the Cooler had a screw missing on the top bezel, no base plate to hold the bracket against the Mobo and the spring wires that hold the fan was missing.
I contacted him and enquired as the post did not specify any of this. he asked me if i needed the items urgently, in good faith i advised him i can wait for the items.
He advised that he can only send the items the following Thursday as he is going out of country for the week. ( ETA now is 25th November 2021 )
On 03 December 2021, i enquired again ( @15:56pm ), whereby he responded " Whose this .. I lost my Phone " @ 17:19pm
( Still using the same number on whatsapp and having the same profile pic, in essence, i do not think he "lost" his phone )
I re introduced myself and explained the happening to this point @ 18:39pm
He replied @ 21:40pm , asking if he can send it monday.
Today, 06 December 2021, he again, no contact from him, but also, according to Whatsapp on my PC, he changed his number. So i messaged both the old number and the new number, asking if he managed to send the items and advising that i will now provide negative feedback and asking for a refund on the item. ( @17:51 )
The message was delivered to the new number, but was not read yet.
Now, my point of view is that i was very generous and understanding up to now.
I feel that he received my funds in a very timely manner, but i did not receive the items as advertised nor in the condition as advertised.
Although i understand his phone was "lost", BUT he was still able to contact and rectify the situation via Carbonite.
I accidentally smashed my phone while doing shopping ( It kinda works still ),
But the active deal i am doing, i advised the seller that i have to contact them via carb and not via whatsapp.
I made the efford.
The conclusion is that i had to purchase a different NVME for my build because of his delayes, and i had to buy a different Cooler as the one i bought from him, is up to this point, still in pieces and cannot be used at all.
And yes, i piff'd the NVME when it arrived, as i did not need it anymore
( Progenix supplied me with that sweet WD Black
)
I obviously feel cheated and deceived by a fellow Carb member. Especially while he is a Senior Member.
I have a copy of the Whatsapp messages between us, if it is needed for evidence.
Thank You
&
Kind Regards
Riaan
