Some updates. The one seller with the brush kit sends emails everyday. Whining and whining about shipping. Everyday the emails get more ridiculous as they keep lowering the amount they need to save. It is bizarre how much time they waste over a few dollars. Just on principal I am not giving in on a penny. Here is the one from this morning.
Dear friend, pls kindly understand we spent USD 4.61 to ship the item, and now we would like to refund you for this order, and we also want to get the postage back, so we can refund you 17USD without returning, in that way, you can get the refund immediately, is it okay for you?We have not profit on it.And we lose lots on this order pls kindly let me know your idea, we will try our best to solve it in a friendly way to satiafy you, fine? best regards
The other Ebay seller with the bent aluminum led channels is also emailing everyday. That has been settled. Ebay refunded the money on their own and I tossed everything in the garbage. Some new person Jenny, is very sorry for their bad treatment. She would like to send me more product. I explained I was refunded and don't need more landfill. In the end it's all about getting me to change my negative feedback. They ask everyday. It wasn't harsh or mean. I just explained items weren't shipped in a box. They arrived bent and they sent the wrong lens profile. Ebay refunded my money. I didn't write opinion like they suck, don't buy from them etc etc. I'm not going to change my feedback as it was honest.
Now the blender guy who bailed on me. I started thinking about it and said fuck it. He was all buddy buddy until the feedback time was over. I sent a message during live chat to Aliexpress. I think their chat translates American into Chinese. I told them about the broken part and seller agreed to send a new one and never followed up. I got an email from the seller a day later with a tracking number. I also sent him a message to send me a pic of exactly how it's installed. It can go in 2 different ways. He also promised this and failed to follow through.
I don't really like doing this over petty shit but once you figure out how they do business they drive you to it at least with me anyway.
