mini-z-awd Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 i needed a radio so i looked around ebay and saw this seller had good feedback not alot but good so i thought why not buy from them i wish i didnt know as i received my parcel today and i was shocked to see what i got there was no box just the plastic holder that you get in the box with some bubble wrap on top and it was in a plain brown envolope you would expect a box not a envolope the only good thing is it wasnt damaged in anyway and nothing was missing oh and the seller was top_rc001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty1103 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 That is a bit stupid!!! Leave bad feedback for the packaging. I always make sure everything is boxed correctly and swamped with various sizes and density of bubble wrap packed out with newspaper so nothing will move about I did get a parcel once that looked more like drugs than driveshafts lol!!!

Rusty1103 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Now that's a good idea, feedback does have a character limit though so could be beneficial if you do it now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnet Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 That's worrying...I've recently ordered a BL combo from the same seller.How long did it take for your radio to arrive? Existing feedback doesn't give any reason to be concerned and comms so far have been spot on...but if it isn't brand new in manufacturer packaging as described then I won't be happy.

Exos Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) to be honest, I'm astounded by some of the d***heads that frequent ebay and they are now becoming a lot more prevalent, especially around realistic pricing, postage and just general descriptions. Really grates on me when someone has uploaded something with a one liner from ebay mobile. Shows to me they really CBA. For example I can get a Baja couried for Edited July 26, 2013 by Exos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspnet Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Quick update - the combo I'd mentioned above turned up today after an order was placed with the same seller on 21st. Came in full manufacturer packaging, sealed and brand new so no issues with the transaction from my end. Guess it might be specific to the more bulky items since they offer free postage....?
