Dec 1 Posted March 3, 2006 [rant]Ordered some shocks and springs for the Scirocco off German Ebay early last week! and expected them to arrive early this week...but no sign of them! So yesterday I get a message from the supplier in Germany...saying there is some poroblem with my address, and could I confirm it with them....which I did. So today I get a message from the guy saying that the courier had tried to deliver the parts on two occasions and that they had now been returned to Germany, and that I have to pay postage costs again!! :x :x :x :x He finally gave the the package tracking no today...and they did try to deliver it!..but they didn't leave any message on either occasion to let me know that !!!....and as I didn't have the tracking number I had no idea what was going on!! :mad: :mad: :mad: and I needed the damn parts to work on the car this W'end....the way some people do business just annoys me :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:[/rant] :-P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted March 3, 2006 The courier isn't the infamous City Link is it? They seem to get referred to by their not-so-polite name which sounds very similar to city... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Louie Lungbubble 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Business post weren't too much cop for me the other day, either. Got a card when I wasn't in the first time saying they'd try again on Wed. When Wednesday came and went with no card I was preparing to drive miles to their depot to get it myself, but thought I'd just phone to make sure. Bint- Oh no sir, it's been delivered. To one of your neighbours Me- Ok which one? Bint- er... I don't know Me- What do ya mean you don't know? didn't you get the door number? I've got lots of neighbours! Bint- Hang on... I'll get onto the driver. [puts me on hold] Me- :roll: Bint- Sir... we dont have a door number, but the house he delivered it at had a red Celica on the driveway. Me- ..............Er. Ok thanks. Moral of the story is... Make sure one of your neighbours has a distinctive car if you're not likeley to be in to take a delivery from ECP! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
