I bought a set of seats that were auctioned on P-Car market. I asked the seller (before bidding) if he was capable of shipping them. He said yes. Then (after winning them) the wanker who was selling them said that he had no boxes, and would not provide any. When I questioned how he thought he was going to get them to me (the buyer) he told me to come get them (in NY, about 1000 miles away). Now the story gets better...
So I let him know that driving to get them was not going to be a good option and asked again why he said that he would assist in shipping. He says "P-Car market made me state that I would assist with shipping or they would not accept the auction" So again I asked what he could do. And again he said that he had no ideas. He even said that I had to have my own UPS account as he was not going to provide any help with that either.
So I jokingly said "well I have two Recaro boxes sent from Germany here, what do I need to do? Ship the empty boxes to you with my own labels" He replied "Yes, ship the empty boxes with labels"
So... I broke them down & shipped him two Recaro boxes (with extra cardboard to strengthen the boxes once reassembled). I also asked if I needed to send a friggen roll of packing tape...
Anyhow he got the boxes, assembled them with my instruction, then wrote me some bazaar cryptic email (that was hilariously mental) about how he was butt-hurt & all from my simple instructions (after he made me the buyer jump through hoops). This after he got more than double what he had set the reserve for. You would have thought he would have been overjoyed to help. But he was simply not. He was also connected to some aftermarket Rover truck company so you would have thought he would have access to boxes, but no. Capital Wank.
Anyhow they did ship (at the cost of $700 for two boxes insured UPS) and I got my German Recaro boxes back (that only cost me $175 to ship when originally shipped from overseas).
Wardrobe boxes... Who would have thought it was that easy?
