Why I dont shop over seas!!

Postby Wraith71 » Sun Jul 21, 2019 8:32 pm

Ok so I finally caved in and bought from an over seas supplier .. Will be the LAST time im a dumb arse and do that twice!!
When I emailed about it they said they can see nothing wrong with it ?? .. also offered NO replacement !! gee that that's nice .. so what am I supposed to use NOW?
I know its only a pissy lil 3/4 seal .. but it happens to the 3/4 seal that holds the Friggin inlet water valve in place!
:angry-banghead: :angry-banghead:
uurrggghh .. its a learning curve..

Know some one who purchased an item using pay pal told him it was a fraud still purchased item no good and all he could get back was part of the purchase price .They have it all worked out how to scam.
Have seen on you tube where someone got a free gift of seeds sent to UK from China none grew i think some mail is irradiated to make safe quicker and safer then trying to inspect.

This even applies from some states in Australia. Our local Bunnings recently purchased some bulbs from Victoria and sold them in Mandurah. None grew. Plant disease is a major issue ...

I'm super cautious. If I can I'll get something local - even if the price is higher. Touch wood, I've been lucky so far...
