ME--But you never informed me , you could have communicated with me before filing the INR.
Buyer-- I am sorry I was out of station of past 10 days , my house was locked.
Me--........Speechless.......
Buyer--But the item is not even delivered to my neighbours, I have checked.
ME--Sir the courier boy is not supposed to deliver the item to your neighbours ,If you wanted that you should have informed me earlier.
BUYER--- But in Ebay there is no option to get the item delivered to the neighbours.]:)
ME--...(again speechless)(thinking in my mind that there will never be)
ME-- Ok now that you have not got it, and the item has not been returned to me as well , let me check this out.
Buyer----- OK..... Fine.......bbbbut by the way, I live in a remote place in T.N. and only professional couriers deliver here no other courier will be able to deliver here.:-(
ME-- .....(planning to pull my hair, as I had shipped via DTDC)...thinking....Oh God ,why did he buy from me??.......but sir why didn t you warn me earlier, I could have made arrangemnets.
Buyer--- Dont worry, the courier guys cant just run away with items like that, they will return it to you.
ME------yes sir espically DTDC....Ok forget it ..I will give you a refund. X-(
Buyer--thank you , once I get the refund I will again buy this item from you
ME--Speechless.:|
at the end of the day I will be penalized and buyer rewarded for this...:_|
Dont you think its high time ebay should make a move to educate buyers....
