What Grinds My Gears.


Recommended Posts

Trying to buy a new driver, was supposed to be here 2 weeks ago.  Retailer constantly promises tracking number and never sends it.  Clearly they dont have the item, and are just stalling to try and fill the purchase.  I want to shoot them in the dick.  So many lies.  Golf clearance outlet at the Gabba.  Do not bother with them.

Also just had a parcel post tag to collect something, went to the PO and saw that it had postage owing.  So the ebay asshole sent me something short of postage, and they expected me to pay it.  I sent it back to him, and said, pay your own postage asshole.

Can someone do something simple and correct please?

No wonder people are forced to internet order all their stuff and kill retail stortes, they already committed suicide by not having any stock to sell, and basically running a retail storefront for a mail order online business.   Fucking stupid cunts, all the expense and none of the convienience.

Members dont see this ad

The amount of shops that now have zero stock is astonishing. And the worse ones are the ones that make you come in and pay 100% up front, then they order it in, then you have to go back and pick it up when it comes in. 2 trips to the same shop 4 days apart.

Alternatively i click buy on the internet at 9pm in my underpants and it arrives 3 days later to my house.

Finally got tracking number.  Sent to wrong house.  Sent back to depot.  Sat there ever since despite the courier getting the right address given to them about a week ago finally by the sender.  I said so why not just deliver it?  They said, there is an open investigation happening and it will be done in due course.  I said whats to fucking investigate?  You know where its supposed to be, get it to me today already!  Case fucking closed call off Colombo and send me the fucking thing.

So still dont have, apparently the case has been escalated to high priority, so I should expect nothing much different expect to remain in the consumers limbo for an undertermined amount of time, until these fucking genius startrack assholes discover some new evidence in this shocking investigation that leads them to my doorstep.  FUCK!

aka Australia post

That's the problem right there. Wait till you have a bill posted to you from a company in Toowoomba to your home address in Toowoomba. It turns up on the due date and yet going by the post mark it was sent 3 weeks ago.

And its not a once off thing either.

How far does the "its not sold unless I have cash in my hand" Extend?

Friday arvo i spot an air compressor advert on gumtree, advert been up for 2hrs, i sent a message on gumtree to confirm it was available, guy gets back to me quite quick says yep. so i call him up, nice enough guy, I tell him im at work 2hrs away and wasnt sure what time i would be home but i would like to buy it could i pick it up on saturday at 9am? dude sais yep not an issue, he gives me his address, we realise he is 3 streets away, we have a bit of a chuckle, all good. I make a comment i hope it fits in the car, he offers to deliver it to me, i said i should be ok. all is good i hang up happy i got a compressor. 

30mins later, "sorry, its been sold already"

Thinking maybe he meant the message for someone else I rang him back, same dude aswers but commpletely different attitude, i say hey we just spoke about the compressor but you sent me a message saying it sold was it a mistake? He sais no its not sold until the cash is in my hand, someone just came and picked it up. 

I'll be honest i was kinda half in shock at what i was hearing and sort of gave a bit of a rude comment and hung up. 

Yes it was just an air compressor, yes it was only 200bucks, but daaaayymm is this how people operate? I understand some people might not turn up after organising to a time but do you just ignore the verbal contract. no "hey someone just called and is coming tomorrow but if he doesnt take it you are second in line"

He ran a business too, guess where i'm not getting my metal signs made....ever.

I know EXACTLY how you feel Dave, there was a 5k and 5 speed for $500 on gumtree a few months back, I said i'd buy it 30 mins after the ad was put up. I said about 5 times i'm happy to deposit and pick it up on saturday (this was on Thursday). He said it was fine and he'd hold it for me, saturday morning 5 mins before leaving to pick it up. I message him to confirm times. And he'd sold it a day before. It's disgusting how people don't care about trust and being a top bloke. I hope you can find one that's worth it

Lazy stupid ebay sellers.

Guy sells me a manual for s motor.  I paid on the day I won, the 21st of December.  Waited patiently until just the other day.  Guy asks whats up have I got it.  I say no.  He starts making excuses right away before I say anything much, so I got the shits and called out his bs.  He had sent a message right as I won saying the Post office was closed when it was clearly still open until the 24th, so basically I immediately was able to work out what a fucking loser the guy was.  I didn't press him until he messaged me on Australia day to 'make sure' I had it.  Of course I didn't, and he had not sent a tracking number so I had no ability to do anything about it if I had wanted to anyhow.  It was just on trust up until then, over a month after buying it, and he had just fucked around and didn't seem keen to fit a trip to the PO into his life on my behalf even after my funds were taken.  So i was ready to write it off and get my paypal back at some point in the future.  No point getting too upset.

So I just got over the token customer care he was offering and told him to stop fucking lying and that I had no proof and if he wanted to be believed he could stop the lies and send a tracking number as every parcel auto has it now.  So then of course he cant find it, surprise surprise.

So I'm at the limit of my patience.  I open ebay case.  Fast forward another 3 days and all of a sudden case is closed and I get a snippy message from this little cunt flap saying that I should know better than to call an honest ebayer names and blah balah blah.  Basically carrying on as if the closed case is somehow proof of his sterling character.  LoL.

What happened was he finally was able to find a tracking number, and then we get to find out it has been frustratingly waiting at the post office for a couple of weeks, so to him this absolves all his laziness, lies about Post office being closed, and his pathetic attitude towards following through and somehow pins all sins on me.  So I message back saying pull your head in you need a slap, I apologise for nothing and you deserve worse.  You fucked me around for over a month, and as long as you could fuck around you did, you didn't ever send me the tracking number, and when you finally do get it to me, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that you just wasted weeks of my time, you act as if its my fault?

If I could beat him to death I would.  What an asshole.  Basically took the transaction hostage.  Lied about numerous things to cover his lazy tracks and then when finally able to produce the tracking I'm supposed to be thankful; weeks later, having been greatly annoyed and after immediately acting on all my parts of the deal.  FUCK THIS CUNT.

Yeah, can't complain about the treatment.

$$$$ for parking and accommodation are another story......

Ask the social worker for information about VPTAS (patient transport assistance scheme). Hopefully you live more than 100kms from the hospital, if so you are eligible.  I’ve attached the link, and you can get hard copy forms from the social work dept  

https://www2.health.vic.gov.au/hospitals-and-health-services/rural-health/vptas-how-to-apply

Provides reimbursement of travel costs and contributes to accom costs. You do have to pay upfront then claim reimbursement but it does help. 

You may also be able to get a discount parking voucher from social work also. Ask the ward clerk to chase them up for you.

Thanks for the link. Already have the reimbursement form to fill out.

Lucky we are getting a huge amount of support from home from child minding through to work lending me a more economical car to drive. The town of Maryborough has been incredible with their support.
