    1 x OCZ PC4000EB 2GB Kit

    211k1dd was the Seller on April 13, 2006 RedFlagDeals

    Item arrived as described, in working condition.

    I needed it by the end of the week and I specified that to the seller. He acknowledged the need to ship it by a fast method.

    Instead of shipping it XpressPost (2-3 days typically), he shipped it expedited (over a week typically). It came half a week after my deadline. I was building a system for a friend who lives 500 km\\\'s away and I needed to have the system ready before he left. Needless to say, the RAM not being there was a problem.

    When I saw that the tracking number was expedited, rather an Xpress, I PMed him and asked what was up. He denied any fault of his and said that he shipped it quote: \\\"the fastest available method other than overnight courier\\\". When I said that he could have shipped it XpressPost, he told me to quote: \\\"stop bitching\\\" and went on to say that I asked too many questions before the sale. He also stated quote: \\\"other would just ignore you\\\". I think this is idiotic. This is not how I do business and NO other traders will not and DO NOT ignore me or anybody else if they intend to sell their stuff.

    His slower than agreed upon shipping, unwillingness to accept responsibility for his mistake and rude and ignorant behaviour towards me contributed to a very unpleasant transaction which caused me to lose both time and money.

    Response from HKPolice
    I have always shipped expedited and it has always gotten accross Canada within 5 business days.

    This time, it took longer which was no fault of mine, just coincidental delays with the postal system.

    I only charged him $5 for shipping, but actual costs to me was $10 + packaging material. I did not ask for any compensation afterwards.

    If he wanted a guarenteed delivery time, he should of paid for overnight or next day, those are the ONLY guarenteed methods.

    I should not be held responsible for postage system delays after I shipped the package on time. It\'s like blaming the seller for not receiving the package during a postal labour strike.

    Will not deal with him ever again, and I suggest future traders to take caution if he wants an item urgently.
