Review for user mtbiac from badthad

  • badthad (171)

    Bought an APC 500VA UPS.

    badthad was the Seller on July 2, 2003 AnandTech

    My first neutral eval, but I thought it necessary.

    Based on his limited heatware, he agreed to ship first and I would pay upon receipt.

    I accepted the deal on 6/3/03 and didn't hear a word from Mike until 6/27/03. On 6/27 he PM'd me asking if I had rec'd the UPS because he "sent it like 2 weeks ago". I told him I had not rec'd it, asked how he shipped and rec'd no response. Then, on 7/2/2003 the UPS arrived without warning. From the Fedex label I see it was in fact shipped on 6/27/2003, 23 days after we struck a deal. It was not shipped "2 weeks ago" which would have been 6/13/2003.

    If I would have paid in advance, I would have been upset and potentially posted negative heatware. However, I did rec'v the UPS, it works fine and I'm satisfied, thus I'm posting a neutral eval.

    This eval would have been positive if had not lied about the shipping date and had WAY better communication skills.

    Response from mtbiac
    I clearly stated to the buyer that I had dropped the package off at a "pack n' send" shop, and that THEY had had a mixup with the shipping which is why the item was not postmarked until so much later.

    ALSO- I CLEARLY stated that I was on VACATION and could NOT respond to emails... I think BadThat is the "lier" here.
