To offer refund or not?

[lolcantturn]

I am aware that grocery bag packaging isn't a conventional method but I've always used it, I felt that it was packaged fairly well, if you shook up the box it wouldn't move anywhere.

Though I have offered a partial refund.

100sFakeSupreme is right, when he says your packaging job was bad. A few shopping bags isn't acceptable. Crumpled newspaper is inexpensive / free and effective.

its the principle, yes if you wouldnt like to offer my refund off the fact im a pissed customer. yes its 40$ big deal thats why i said 4 him to keep it. i purchased these to tinker not REBUILD them. what does a price hafta do with the item or the deal being given? its like if i purchased an e30 m3 for 5 grand its supposta be junk cuz its too cheap? why cant it just be because i got a DEAL. just because you purchase items or known to purchase items at a price dont mean everyone pays around the same or thee same. to respond to your being cheap comment.


i just figured he was honest and the only problem was the LENS.

&& MR VANG, i purchased these because there 40$ & lens only needed to be fix AS I THOUGHT & they were a project didnt think id hafta take it apart and REBUILD like you guys keep stating to do. i was experementing w/ resin same stuff used to fill cracks in windshields or w.e just wanted to practice that along w/ my smoking glass for fogs & tail lights. id rather ruin these than a 70-120 dollar set to answer your response.

Partial refund. Buyer assumes some risk; seller assumes some responsibility for the poor packaging.

Just issue the refund. You have wasted your time and $ by just making this thread then the $40 is worth in the long run.


IMO you should have clearly outlined condition on these as part of the transaction before you shipped them out so there would be NO surprises (set expectations very low).

[mr.vang]

Well I'm not saying he has to buy that but if you were to open the fog light up you can take all the glass debris out of the cracked one and put the reflector piece back on the passenger one and have new lenses on top of that, which is why they're not useless.

yes, i have done that and its a piece of cake. i don't see why he is so piss for?

[mr.vang]

after reading through the PM's, i don't know. he doesn't deserve his money back. all his pm's are pretty harsh.

[FredK]

I saw that ad, and expected one fog to be nearly junk.

this should solve it

Hmm, everything you posted in that thread is exactly what I've said in this thread. Unfortunately, I have nothing to hide at all hence why I posted this thread with exactly the same information you provided in that thread.

As far as the shipping and packaging, it was well packaged "as ghetto as it may be." Grocery bags layered over the top of the lens and the side, then that cardboard piece was used to prevent the lenses from moving around the box (It was pushing up against them) so that's that.

I would maybe refund him half. Are any of the parts usable? Could he in theory , put new bulbs in, new lenses in, and have good working fogs?

Lolcantturn is good people. He doesnt want to screw anyone.

[mr.vang]

Just issue a refund, no matter what it is $40 isn't worth an unhappy customer.

true. But before you refund his money back, make sure you get your item back. he can pay for shipping.

HERES ALL THE INFO.

YOU GUYS WHO ARE ABOUT "DIDNT ASK ABOUT MORE INFO? " LMAO TO YOU GUYS. LOOK AT THE LISTING YOU WOULD THINK PEOPLE ARE HONEST ON HERE

& YEA ITS VAGUE ABOUT INFO DIDNT THINK HE WAS A SHADY SELLER AND WOULD SEND ME BROKEN GLASS & OVAL NOT EVEN CENTERED W/ METAL CLIPS DANGLING INSIDE SOUNDS LIKE SAND WHEN YOU SHAKE THEM ALONG WITH CRAPPY SHIPPING.

YOU WOULD THINK THE FOGS WORK FINE & THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE LENS BEING CRACKED AND THATS IT. DIDNT THINK ID HAFTA ASK 100 QUESTIONS ETC ETC.

Honestly, I wouldn't have bought them from you in the first place, purely because of your posting. Small pictures showing no detail and almost no description. That's a sign to run away for me (shady).

That being said, if the guy who bought it didn't ask for more pictures or information, that's his own fault. You are in the clear. I got burned on buying a part one time several years ago for the same thing. I bought a part with out asking for better pictures or more info and just sucked it up and since it was my fault. Never have done that again though.
