I purchased an intake manifold from William Ergle on August 30th. I received the intake a few days ago but didn't get a chance to open it until this afternoon. Upon opening the box, the intake to no surprise was broken. The intake was placed in a box, WITH NO PACKAGING WHAT SO EVER. I notified William of the broken intake, offered to send it back and asked for a refund. He says it's not his fault it got broken in shipping and will refund $35 since it costs him $15 to ship it. I simply put asked for the full refund because it could have been avoided if he would have taken a few minutes to package the intake correctly. He refuses, of course.

I just though I would put this out here for anyone purchasing something from him, he obvoiusly isn't willing to own up to his mistake and make this right so be careful in dealing with him.

how was it shipped?

isnt it automatically insured for 100 bucks?

 

UPS, and yes it is BUT UPS will only cover the damage after they inspect the packaging. And there was no packaging, it was just tossed in a box and taped up. I will post pictures shortly.

I think he should give you a full refund since he failed to pack it properly. It was his responsibility until it arrived on your doorstep in a safe and unharmed manner.

 

I had the same thing happen like six years ago, guys used newspaper for padding but like two handfuls of it.

 

Pictures of the box, no packaging, and the intake.

 

I told you what I offered and that is resonable. Its not my fault it was obviously done in transit. Paypal seen it my way also. Like I said I will file it on insurance and when I get the money,or they may send it to you Im not sure it will be done. Im fair, and I thought that was more then fair.

 

so why not refund him. and you take up the battle agaisnt UPS?

 

It IS your fault. You packed it like ****, and packing it correctly was your responsibility. Either refund him the FULL amount, or we will add a "bad seller" status to your account.

I'm sick of people that do not take responsibility for their own actions. Is your reputation worth $50?

 

No it is not fair. You didn't package the intake properly and you know that. It is not my fault that you did that and I am not going to lose money over YOUR MISTAKE! This all could have been avoided if you would have taken a few minutes to properly pack the intake like any other person would. File the insurance claim, I will do whatever needs to be done from here but I deal with UPS everyday and know they are not going to refund your money because you didn't package the intake properly.

Man up to your mistake and refund my money, write this down as a lesson learned and move on.

 

You have 48 hrs to issue a full refund via paypal, or your user status will be changed, and you will no longer have access to the classifieds forums or the use of PM's here.

Take accountability for your own actions.

 

I will issue a refund after I recieve the intake back.

Thats fair enough,

 

So now I have to waste more money because of your incompetence? You pay return shipping and I would be glad to.

 

You ship back and I will refund thats my final offer its more then fair.

 

Hell it took you two days after recieving it to tell me this, how do I know you didnt just drop it?

 

Yeah I am going to ruin my reputation over a $50 intake that you neglected to package correctly and now are trying to put the blame on me. I am not wasting $15 to send this hunk of crap back, pay the shipping and I will gladly send it.

I AM NOT PAYING FOR YOUR MISTAKE! LEARN HOW TO PACKAGE SOMETHING BEFORE SHIPPING IT AND QUIT TRYING TO BLAME OTHERS FOR YOUR IDIOTIC MISTAKES.

Paypal me $50 and this will be over, paypal me $65 and I will send this hunk of crap back. OR do nothing and ruin your name, it's up to you.

 

More than fair? More than fair would be to suck up your loses for your mistakes and send my money back. Thats more than fair.

 

Fine I stand behind my choice.

 

Of course, you're no better then the rest of the scammers out there.

 

No your a douche bag tool, and I tried to reason with you and you cant be reasoned with. You send it back and I will refund the money.
