I got nothing and I loose 250 of my own money. Does that sound like a good deal as well?

re: just bad luck
i'd have to say that this is quite unfortunate. i can see the points from both sides and it looks pretty bad.
i can understand landshark from the piss poor service i've received from some vendors and orders from the internet (non-suby related). send money for an order, getting nothing, and fighting to get my money back. but i can also see from lwin's point. he was trying to help out the network and didn't make a buck out of it. he organized the whole thing, collected every dollar needed to complete the order to japan, and try to track those packages for those who may have gotten their's late (all of which takes alot of personal time and effort). international shipments are a pain sometimes, because they can get lost fairly easily. it's happened to me before sending stuff to hong kong, malaysia, etc. i don't believe that either's in fault or i guess both should be at fault. i guess lwin could have either charged more for a handling fee (profit from the buy which i would pay because of all the time and effort he put in) so he could cover the costs of his time or explicitly state that he is not responsible for any lost merchandise in shipping since it's a free service. buy at your own risk. lwin will do whatever is in his power to help, but that is all. no out of his own pocket refunds. or landshark could have asked 'what happens if i don't get my parts?' or 'what happens if the shipment gets lost?'. lwin would have explained that a lost shipment is out of his control and landshark would have a choice of whether to partake in the group buy or not. if he did, he knew the risks. i've taken to using fedex for international shipments. never had a problem. pay more, expect more. hell i don't even use the postal service for domestic shipments, although i hear they've gotten better. sorry that this happened to 2 fine members of the network Last edited by Noir; 09-09-2003 at 11:23 PM. |

again, i must reiterate that the length of time i gave Lwin to make good was WAY longer than i would have given to anyone. he was talking about people being angry with the last group buy about stuff being a few weeks late. WEEKS! that means i would have had my stuff back in April! if someone says they will refund your money, and when they say they are sending it today and then you get nothing for weeks, what do you do? ask again, and same thing over and over? FWIW, i did not want this to be a public spectacle (Lwin brought it to this, that was a last resort for me), so for those saying that i'm out of line, and i'm 'not cool', you should stay out of it. you don't know the facts. i'm really tired of this, so hopefully Lwin will keep to his word and i can put this mess behind me.

The fact is that MOST of us have had fair dealings with Lwin. I should hope that ONE negative feedback on e-bay would not totally condemn that person, especially in a sea of positives.
