Oh well, silly sod hasn't responded in any way, shape or form. Not that I was expecting him to really. What a muppet.<br>

Hi Susie,<br>
<br>
Mr. Ebay Muppet has responded. He says that TNT have picked up the bumper and he will be supplying the tracking number asap. He also apologised. <br>
<br>
He says his business address is in Hilltop, West Bromwich not Sedgley Road (might be his home address). I also threatened him with small claims court if he failed to sort this out. <br>
<br>
What a plonker. Why do people have to make something so straightforward so bloody difficult? I wouldn't dream of doing this sort of thing. Pathetic!<br>
<br>
Anyway, lets see what happens. He <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>will</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> be getting a right shedload of negative feedback and I don't care if he retaliates.<br>
<br>
Susie, once again, many, many thanks for taking the time and effort to help a 'stranger' out. I can't express fully how grateful I am. It's brilliant that in this day and age there are still people who are willing to go above and beyond. I know I've said it before but if I can ever do anything to help out then just ask. <br>
<br>
Try not to be <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>too</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> disappointed that you can't flex your muscles and act all threatening today, he might still need a 'visit' after all<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Kindest regards and hope you have great weekend. <br>
<br>
Ken

I was soooooooo looking forward to going around. Ok, so I may not have been able to knock 10 bells out of him but I am pretty confident I could have argued him to death!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Just FYI, West Bromwich is completely in the opposite direction to Woodsetton. Keep on at him Ken until he provides a tracking number or, contact TNT in Birmingham (which I think is the nearest depot) on 0121 359 3400 to see if they are prepared to tell you if a package is en-route to where you are. If you explain the situation to them, I would hope they will play ball. The London (City) depot's number is 020 7231 0455, I am guessing that is the closest to you.<br>
<br>
<br>
I am sure if I needed help with something, the good people on here would offer, in fact, many have already helped with advice etc. We're a pretty nice bunch here aren't we? Lovely to belong to such a nice club.<br>
<br>
You have a great weekend too and hope your parcel turns up really soon.<br>
<br>

haha! He rang this morning whilst I was at the gym and left the tracking number. He also left the number for TNT saying that they would confirm the problem with collection caused by snow. Hmm.<br>
<br>
This bumper had better be decent. Problem hopefully sorted. Should be interesting feedback lol+++<br>

Ken I know you are a bit frustrated but it has been serioulsy crap weather and it didnt seem like a lot of money for a jep bumper. Did he already have it off the car? Was he stuck where the bumper wasnt? Did he have PC problems? Life has a habit of getting in the way and some couriers are serioulsy crap at turning up and collecting big car bits...<br>
<br>
I got -ve feedback once cos I went on holiday and didnt complete a sale after 5 days for a tenner....Thanks mate I thought.<br>
<br>
I'd give the guy the benefit of the doubt until the bumper turns up...after all he may buy a dolomite one day.<br>

Point taken Jonners but I doubt he's a potential Dolly purchaser. I said to him that I would after all this leave <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>fair</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> feedback. Although I did leave a good few messages on his mobile with my own number supplied and he used it to phone me on Saturday morning... I'll see what the bumper is like.<br>

Hiya All. Nearing the end of the saga - almost. TNT tried to deliver at 3pm, but guess what! We were all at work. So they will deliver on Saturday.<br>

Very interesting to know that you can only leave feedback 90 days after... <br>
<br>
I hate such ebay problems... last time I had one of these such problems was with terryman2... in the end I had to get my bank to provide him with a photocopy of the cheque I'd sent him, proving it had been cashed.<br>
<br>
Why do these people make this so hard?<br>
<br>
Sounds like you've got it sorted though - hope the bumper's a good'un <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Well, all finished now. Got the bumper yesterday. It's in fair condition. Amazing when you considered how he packaged it. One layer of thin bubble wrap over the ends and a bit in the middle. Crap. <br>
<br>
I left neutral feedback, accurate and to the point. No abuse, just factual. He'll probably retaliate with negative but hey, who cares. It's only eBay.<br>
<br>
Thanks for all of the offers of help. Great bunch of folk<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->
