TRX shock came over from Poland a week ago - still no sign of it. Also had two teeth out yesterday, then this morning had to go back to dentist then on to hospital for stitches to stop the bleeding! Never got round to fitting the fuel mod for my MT-03 either.

I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

more hassle with myhermes.
I received an email from their investigation team today, i'd asked them why a parcel collected on Monday the 9th had not been delivered by Saturday the 14th.
their reply is to give me a 20% discount on my next order as long as it doesn't exceed £10, oh and I have to allow another 3 to 5 working days for the parcel to arrive.
they can stick the discount where the sun doesn't shine, as i'd already informed them i'd never use their services again, so why offer me a discount...... :roll:

this sort of stuff Is the downside of buying stuff off the net. we have become used to it all just turning up in a couple of days . this sort of incompetence is sh1t and I think the problem is that because a high percentage of transactions go well so when one goes wrong they are not so geared up to sort it.

About 6 weeks ago I ordered an xbox game for my lad and paid on my amazon a/c with a gift voucher he had got for xmas.

10 days later it was marked as despatched but not delivered. they were apologetic and assured me they would send another... same gravy, never turned up.

I asked for my money back (but I had paid with the voucher?) no problems they said we will credit the money to your bank a/c

which bank account I said?

the one you pay amazon with they said. ??

I normally pay by paypal i said.

Amazon will deal with it they said

All went quiet for a bit so I chased them up and was assured that on 21/2 the amount had been credited to the bank account.

oh good I said what was the a/c number??

don't know they said? Amazon did it ??

called the bank and they cant see it ? :(

because its only £15.00 I am tempted to forget it but that's what bast***s want so I will keep on at them.

it is boring though :evil:

and they don't pay their taxes properly ...

dealing with a stroppy facebook member, who lost out on a purchase because he lives in the usa, and although he inquired first, someone in the uk also asked to buy both items I had for sale, and as I know how tough it is to sort out a big box for a bellypan and the cost of said box, because international shipping goes on volumetric measurements, I chose the uk buyer, and now the us buyer is upset......

I think our friends in the USA don't realise how big postage cost are on said big packages.

Even though I use a courier broker, because of volumetrics the fists are sky high.

Recently sold a rack on ebay to a us person - rack was £21 - quoted postage was over £50 !!!!!

I let her cancel and now I always warn overseas potential buyers for big items

he had the hump because he asked to buy it first, and I said i'd look into postage, knowing full well the size of the box would make it in excess of £50 shipping. so when someone in the uk offered to buy it, I had to go with them, if the same happened to me in reverse I would throw my toys out of the pram..... :lol:
it's not a rare item, it's an aftermarket bellypan ffs.... :roll:

Stick a wanted post up in the Sales and Wants to see if anyone has one going spare. :lol:

You will know if you have broken your ankle as it will bloody hurt and you wont be able to weight bare on it at all. As your thinking...... it's most likely just sprained, but as others have said, best to get it checked out mate. Especially if it means sick pay from those bee astards that you work for. :wink:
