Strange Vendor Experience
Well I won't post their name because I don't want to start anything but if you want to know PM me. I started out Friday when I ordered a part from a vendor that cost around $190 including shipping. Over the weekend one of my G/F's bought me some parts in Atl. from a list she had seen on my desk and one of those parts was the one I ordered. Monday I opened the box my G/F brought and started to install it. Come wednesday the part I ordered arrived but I didn't open it because it had to be returned. I called the vendor today about returning the part and I apologized profusely. I also told him any type of return fee was expected so that wasn't a problem(it was15%).
The vendor then became very condescending asking why I(I didn't) would buy a part that was already on the way from his store. I asked him about a few parts that I may be able to exchange instead getting a refund and his response was "why don't I let my G/F buy them or just buy them from someone else" then he hung up. Did I do something wrong? He's gettting the part back in the same condition plus 15% of the cost, so he's not losing anything except my business but aperrantly he didn't want anyway.
Like I said I was very polite and apologetic so I don't think I deserve denial of my business. Oh well, his loss not mine(except the 15%).

I see his point about you buying another while he just sent one out, but his entire reponse was seriously out of line. Can you PM me the tuner? Or just post it, bad service experience is always good to hear about. He may just have been having a bad day though! Would still like to know...

One question though - How did you get her to buy the parts for you?? That's amazing and post worthy in itself!

Its nearly 85 degrees here and this girl really wants to ride around in my cab. She more duckets than she knows what to do with. Divorce settlement got her an H2 and a G35 plus plenty of cabbage. She's good looking to boot, 29 yrs old and a former "exotic dancer" which she doesn't have to do any more. We have had an off and on relationship for over 9 years. I was the guy she always "cheated" with but never got caught. Well her hubby got caught so she made out like a fat rat. The main reason she wants to get this cab running is that she gave me half the money to buy it.

Nice job posting that on a public forum that she was cheating as well (I assume for 9 years)... hope the guy reads this or finds out and gets back what he "deserves"

I got your PM and i am shocked! This vendor has very great reviews from most, i'll assume it was just a bad day for him. He has always been very helpful in my dealings with him.
Interesting story though...

I agree that the vendor acted wrongly. He wasn't going to lose money, because the 15% should have covered his re-stocking expenses. WTF does it matter to him why you need to return it? He should just take it back, and be even happier that you wanted to give him more business.
PM me the name of the business, and I'll avoid them. I'll PM you the name of a business that sent me a nasty PM with profanities in it today.

Actually she never cheated with me while she was married(wasn't very long) but she did while she was with other "sugar daddies".

Why cant I ever find an exotic dancer. The only chicks that come on to me are the ones sitting in the waiting room at Jenny Craig.
