yoodoo Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Well I feel totally ripped off! I bought some hinge pins from rc-monster.com and they were $9.00.So i thought ,yep,I'll have a set of those. I put them in the cart and then went to checkout. When I aw that the postage was $7.95 I thought,ok,not bad.Then I signed into paypal and pressed confirm...then when I checked my paypal account a whopping $24.84 was charged!!!! I immediately wrote to Monster RC to cancel it as I had just received confirmation email saying that my order had gone through as I didn't want to pay this price for a couple of pins and got no reply.Oh,before you think,I did check it was $7.95 not $24.84. Today I have just had my shipping confirmation for something I don't want!! I then tried to go to their website and get in touch there but the admin has disabled registration which is convenient. Is there a way if I paid through Paypal to get my money back? Oh,and it only costs $25.00 to ship a billet Emaxx chassis!!!!!! and they are not light.

atom3624 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Voo / Yoo that defo is a ripoff!! You could contact Paypal, they are pro-active, but will probably recommend you contact 'the seller / supplier' ... Best try and contact them and explain what the **** happened!! (That was a Father Ted word I use, recognised as something else ...!!) Al. Edited November 10, 2014 by atom3624 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway....guess what I was driving on the weekend...clue...begins with L...F and A M. another clue are the colours...yellow,red and green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoodoo Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 I take that back.....just received this... When you input the international address, the cost of shipping changed from an assumed domestic location to the actual shipping cost for your actual location. The $22 is the low end of trackable shipping for international locations with a reasonable delivery time expectation. I do apologize if this caused confusion. We will cancel the order and the shipping label and refund your transaction. Let me know if we can be of any assistance in the future.

RCbutcher Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Where did the extra charge come from, could it be quantity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoodoo Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Where did the extra charge come from, could it be quantity? No,i think it was to ship to the states not international.Well,all done and dusted...good guys in the long run,pity their shipping is a bit high.

Tug Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 His shipping is high because he got fed up with being ripped off, basically people saying their stuff hasn't arrived. So now all transactions, large and small, are tracked, he's just protecting himself. I've only had high value stuff from him, so didn't even blink when the postage cost was revealed.

Yes,but Shipping:$24.84 !! They weigh nothing and there are only eight of them.I have had a full FLM chassis shipped and tracked for less.

atom3624 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Let's look at the original post ... $9.00 for the hinge pins. $7.95 for the original P&P - that expensive within USA cf other suppliers. Then it warped up to $24.84 P&P for international. Class 1 ripoff. Shouldn't consider using postage like that for anything less than perhaps $30-40 value. Six quids worth of steel pins .... nah. I'd tell them to do one! I'm with Yoo. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jari Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Very nice. Very clean though?! Mine get treated a bit more like farm equipment...
