Bodgeups Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Nearly two weeks ago, I sent the money for this Dragunov to Beast06. He stated that posting it out to me would take a few days, which I accepted (it ended up taking a week between sending him the funds and him posting the item). As it stands, the item is overdue on delivery, and all my communication channels to Beast06 have resulted in dead ends. His PM inbox is full, the email address I have to contact him on doesn't exist (or the server is down), and the mobile phone number I have isn't being answered, even after leaving a voicemail message. Beast06 - if you are reading this, please get back in touch. I appreciate that considering the method of postage you chose, delivery may take a few days but your lack of communication isn't doing much for my faith second-hand sales. Alternatively, if anyone is able to contact Beast06 outside of the forums, I would greatly appreciate it if you could point him in the direction of this thread. Link to post Share on other sites

Marlowe Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I can confirm the user is online currently and viewing the forum with the 'invisible' option set. Beast06, can you please contact the user to discuss this? Link to post Share on other sites
Bodgeups Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Since my last contact with Beast06, he hasn't been seen on Arnie's forum since Feb 15th. But he has been online and posting over at the Airsoft Ireland forum. Still hasn't provided proof of postage despite several requests to. Link to post Share on other sites

Bodgeups Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Well the Dragunov turned up this morning. There are outstanding issues to be resolved (half of the package hasn't been delivered), but my main concern is this. The outer barrel is bent by several degrees. I've already contacted the seller with this information (and the other outstanding issues). It's not as advertised. I'm not happy Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Did it look like this could have been caused by poor packaging, or was it just like that when he parceled it up to be sent, do you reckon? Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
Bodgeups Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Second half of the package still hasn't arrived. The second package contains the main springs, the scope, and the screws to attach the stock to the receiver. So as it stands, I've got something that's unusable. Still not happy.

MDK_Marshal Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Easy, lads. Couple of not useful at all posts chopped out of the thread. Let's keep it polite and conductive, shall we? Link to post Share on other sites
Bodgeups Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Second half of the package still hasn't arrived. And I'm still not happy. Link to post Share on other sites
Bodgeups Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Another day without the package. I am incredibly annoyed at the apparent cavalier attitude that Beast06 is taking towards this deal. Twice now I have asked him for a tracking number on this parcel, and twice he has said he will get it to me. The first night, he failed to send the tracking number as he said he would, and then the second night he claimed that it had already been sent as a PM to me. Nothing was received at my end; admins, if you could verify whether or not Beast06 sent any such PM with a tracking number, I would highly appreciate it. This isn't on. You wouldn't pay close to £400 for a sofa, only to have it delivered to you piece-by-piece. A delay in postage due to the size of the item yes, but you would expect it to be delivered in good time, and with care taken over its packaging. The whole deal has been a big waste of my time, my money It's been a terrible experience, and I don't wish to repeat it anytime soon. My advice to all of you - never send anything via Royal Mail Standard Parcels. Shell out that little extra for a courier service, at least you'll get a tracking number and piece of mind.

Bodgeups Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Another day without the package. I have requested a full refund again. I just want to return this Dragunov to the seller, and forget the deal ever happened. Have asked the seller for his opinions on this. Link to post Share on other sites

Anteater Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Does it seem as if it was repackaged and relabled to support him saying it was sitting around at the PO before? Link to post Share on other sites
Bodgeups Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'd have to say no. No ripped or covered up areas on the box suggesting an old postage label. Link to post Share on other sites
