Alright, I am having an issue with a vendor and now I can't post a negative review cause I have to wait 7 days for the vendor to honor my issue...um, waiting games aren't legit especially when money is involved and gives a window of opportunity for the charge to disappear. My issue is this, if it takes a vendor more than 48 hours to remedy a simple wrong item that costs no more than postage ($3.45)...why can I not give a negative review about this?

I have done everything that a customer can do, reported to BBB, file a dispute with my credit card company (pretty embarrassing for a $0.95 difference), file a ticket (on same day as delivered), took a picture of said item, pm the owner, and that's about all I can do as a customer.

In all honesty here I am outraged on how I am being treated, it's like they think I was born yesterday and for the record, it is their fault that they screwed up not mine. My receipt clearly states the correct item I PAID for not the lesser value item I didn't PAY for, why is it so difficult to simply ship out the correct item I PAID for...all I get are excuses with lies...no slander at the moment.

I have held my composure long enough and I never create threads like this, mods if you feel as I dun broke some rule go ahead and delete it...for the rest, the $0.95 difference may seem hilarious to you but its the principal to correct the issue by sending me the correct PAID item without excuses and lies.

I am disabled and am not allowed to work do to my medical issues, so I live off of $300 a month after paying bills/rent...I do not appreciate my money being treated as monopoly money nor being treated like the few customers who have ruined it for the rest of us customers who don't scam vendors and the like.

How much does it hurt a business to send out the correct item that a customer PAID for, instead I get "No problem, unfortunately this is the slow part. Documenting, Trying to re balance stock and reshipping! We will get you. We don't like it when this happens." SLOW...it don't need to be slow since I am simply requesting to have the item I PAID for to be shipped to me, I have stated I am more than willing to resend back the lesser value/incorrect item but I will not send it back until I get the correct item I PAID for.

It's not like I waited 2 weeks to go oh, they sent me the wrong item...I reported the exact moment I opened my package, expecting to have that said item delivered so I can vape vs smoking analogs still. I am seriously ...... off and bent out of shape cause I can't vape without that little inexpensive item ($3.45).

I just want my item I PAID for, is it wrong to post a thread like this after failure of communication from the vendor...if this thread gets deleted, I will no longer be part of this forum since it will appear that ECF is geared more towards pleasing the vendors vs us customers who vape.

Again, I am bent out of shape and don't care what anyone thinks since you are not in my position right now...if you have than you will hopefully understand.

I understand that you are ...... but I don't necessarily understand why you are leaving ECF. The seven day period is a good thing, it gives the customer a chance to settle down (this is in general and not directed at you) and post a clear, concise record of the issue and it gives well meaning vendors enough time to resolve or outline resolution for any issues prior to it being posted.

I can't help you with your vendor issue but I'd recommend sticking around. The vendors stay in their area, the rest of it is just people helping each other, debating or chatting. Wait until your issue is eligible and inform the rest of us, so we can avoid the same thing.

Are you currently on medications? Taking 'em as prescribed?

"No problem, unfortunately this is the slow part. Documenting, Trying to re balance stock and reshipping! We will get you. We don't like it when this happens."

Sounds reasonable!

cause I can't vape without that little inexpensive item ($3.45).

... and you didn't have back ups due to...?

I will no longer be part of this forum since it will appear that ECF is geared more towards pleasing the vendors vs us customers who vape.

If you answer my questions, maybe I could have some empathy.

Irrelevant...

Sounds reasonable!

Why would they need to check stock if I paid for the item yet didn't recive it plus they have tons in stock to begin with (262 Units in Stock) and for the incorrect item they sent (580 Units in Stock)...they really gotta document and recalculate stock...lol.


... and you didn't have back ups due to...?

Cause I am not rich and live under the poverty line and other condescending questions will be ignored.

In that case, if ya leave, we can't try to assist ya!

I use ECF as an educational forum...

Is there something I could send you to help you out? Carto? Atty? We're not all bad, you know.....

minimalsaint, You beat me to it, but I am offering too.

Is there something I can send to help you? I don't expect payment, thank you, postage fees - nothing. I can mail it first thing in the morning if I have what you need or want. Let me know, ok? ok.

tripster,

Tell ya what... if you PM me with the item you need and your snail mail addy, and I have 'em, I'll send ya two via USPS Priority tomorrow.

But dissing the ECF is not a way to garner empathy. Also, IMHO, seven days is a reasonable and measured period.

I never wanted empathy...simply venting my frustrations on a site geared towards vaping.
I also want the the vendor to fulfill their sales agreement so I will have to decline your gratuity, thanks though.

Venting is OK. Hope you don't leave the forums or anything. As long as you don't mention the vendor you are having problems with without following the ECF process first, they won't close or delete your thread. :)

People were very kindly offering assistance until you can get this resolved. I think it was extremely nice of the members that offered.
