For example one guy was selling a samsung dvd drive for really less... I forget his avatar name. But he was a newbie... anyway, no one replied to his post (obviously coz he was a newbie)... poor guy just kept bumping his post... What to do about this, I know not....
Anyway if you are a buyer please always ask the seller the basic questions of:
who,
where,
what,
when,
and how.
In anycase, I am glad this situation all worked out in the end.

So my question is too you guys, is XbOxGoD a good seller? Can he be trusted? Have you had a tranaction with him? Has it been sucessfull? If not what happened?
I put over 200+ US dollors into buying the items, and I'm really pissed that I haven't got them yet.
The last I heard of him he gave me a consignment number which I think means a tracking number. He told me he shipped it out, but I have no clue if thats true or not. I've pm asking him how do I check the tracking number and I haven't got one reply and that is what worries me. I live in the US and he's in the UK the tracking number is below.
Is the consignment number / tracking number fake?
PA 006 570 239 124
I've ordered many things from the UK before and it's never taken this long. EVER!
Help me out guys/admins have I've been riped off?

this is probably a Parcelforce Worldwide ref number - cheap n cheerful but no doubt with either £100/£250/£500 - probably £250 compensation/insurance.
I have bought from him:
1.2 mobo & h/d + samsung 616t - all arrived ok and working well - £85
1.2 mobo & h/d + samsung 605 - all arrived ok and working well - £110
recently bought this week another
1.3 mobo & h/d & samsung 605 - on it's way I expect - £110
he is now on holiday as of Thursday for 2 weeks he said in a recent pm - hence he ain't ignoring you......
I doubt very much you have been ripped, maybe if it has been lost/delayed but he can do nothing or answer for another 10 days or so until he returns
normally I wouldn't get involved but atm he isn't able to reply so it would appear he is a ripper maybe but he has come through with flying colours/colors for me in the past.
Standard parcels - UK type of parcelforce service isn't very quick - sometimes it takes a week to get about 100miles - other times it takes a couple of days, it is that kinda of cheap n cheerful service - I was worried when one of mine was about a week to arrive but posting proved he did send when he said.
Hopefully it ain't lost - but like I say he's away atm so not much you can do just yet - but maybe it will turn up before he returns or if not he can look into into it.
fingers crossed it will arrive though, but just letting ya know he is away and not ignoring you

Oh ok he's on vacation. Then I understand. I'll wait until his vacation is over and I'll see what happens then.
I'm hoping it wasen't lost. He said he insured it so I'm not to worried now.
One thing though, I've pm way before his vaction even stared, and that's what worried me a lot. I'm still hoping for the best.

| If he is shipping from Enlgand it take about 6-8 weeks for it get here in the US. I ordered a video from Revolver video. It took them 2 months to get it to my door. This is a reputable place. I too was worried about getting ripped off or it getting lost. I would worry to much. Not yet. |
The thing is I ordered many things from the UK before and it's never ever taken this long. It's already been 4 weeks so I just hoping for the best.

Why does it suck to get your money back when your stuff is lost in the mail?And why ask for your money back?Just buy it from him again.
And if insurance works the same there as it does here then you wont have your money for at least another 1 and half months.

Are you honestly suggesting this? Perhaps you could elaborate on your logic...
Post by: Ronnie on July 28, 2003, 12:00:00 PM
The seller has no history or scamming or ripping anyone off.The seller shipped the items and were lost in the mail.It does happen,why else would people pay for tracking numbers?And that doesnt always mean you'll get your package.
If I buy something and pay with paypal they(paypal) take out a fee and if you wait more than 30 days to give a refund another fee is taken out when the seller give the money back.And if he used a money order the bank would charge to cash it.And why wait for the money order to come in the mail?Does the buyer no longer want his XBOX?Just buy from the guy again to save time and money.

Hopfully I can just get my money back and put this behind me.

| just give the number a call. they will track it down or tell you if the tracking number supplied is not valid etc.. just drop the 0 off the front of the number and add 44 so, 44870.... i don't know if it is 0 or 00 for you guys to get an international line.. or you can email them from the site. jsut quote your tracking number. If it's worrying you that much, a couple of dollar phone call will answer your concerns. |
I just sent them an email I'll see what they have to say about this tracking number.

See above - you are a whiney little girl!
Seriously - if you've ever shipped anything internationally you'ld know there is more than one way to ship parcels - "EMS" which takes less than a week, and standard mail, which can take 8 weeks. Having ordered parcels both ways, I know that for example, a chip ordered from Lik-Sang could be in my hands in 3 days with EMS shipping ($20), or two months ($8)... For something like a case, I'm betting the figures from england would be more like $20 for slow-boat versus $35 or more for fast shipping. While your $200 sounds like alot of cash, the brits have a terribly oppressive vat scheme ( kinda like sales tax, but closer to 30%) - I'd bet *YOU* chose the cheap shipping, or the seller did so for you, because you hit him so hard on price. The translucent Xboxes cost 199 (pounds) which equals $320 us dollars - If you paid $200, he's got to get $140 from the leftover pieces just to break even - and that's with cheap shipping, and assuming only $20 for it. It may well have been more...
I really believe Xboxgod did you a *favor* and youre whining about it - no wonder it's so hard to get the brits to ship us parts - I wouldn't either.

I didn't have a say in the shipping methoed he did. If I did I would have liked it UPS or Fedex. If possible.

I wouldn't say he is doing him a favor, unless you count accepting his cash and not replying
Maverick...have you ever called the number on the tracking site?...if I was out $200, don't think i wouldn't hesitate to call and see what's going on.
