The Sa Wasteland

[jrm]

Grrrr what is it with people on the forums selling stuff with comments like 'its the complete kit' and 'everything is there' ... you shell out your hard-earned, it arrives - and find out it isn't all there ....

... and when you explain how it isn't there, show pics of what you recieved, against what you should have they say 'well I got it off a mate - I never used it - he said it was all there - I can't offer you a refund'.

Uhhh wut? How is his not knowing what he has suddenly my problem? He represented a product as something it wasn't which is a clear breach of the Fair Trading act. I really hope I don't have to take this to small claims to get my money back. The item clearly wasn't as described, so I've easily got a case, but ugh - so much trouble - especially interstate.

What a frustrating and expensive experience

Nope, you should be fine. There should be a grub screw on the relocator that you can tap into for the sender unit

Does using a lawyer to dispute a fine to keep your license count?

Because I used Michael Woods lawyers. They specialize in traffic law/getting your license back. Pricey, but they got me through.

I'll give them a call,

Can you PM me with what you went through and rough price on what the whole thing ended up costing you?

i got nfi what I'm up for LOL. 2 weeks into no license, 50 weeks to go - its doing my head in!

what a jip.

bought $1800 worth (incl. shipping fee) of goods, sent on pallet via boat from a japanese port to adelaide

had to pay all up an extra $1100 to get the goods released.

what a jip. so many fees and charges to receive a shipment Id paid for.

[Weezy]

lol pwnt, and you were bragging on your epic bargains.

[Tangles]

on that note - DO NOT buy a roll cage overseas.

unless they cut the main bar, you need to ship it.

but because I had the cage, i added mags, cams, more parts

to make it worth my while. but fees from the docks is outrageous. they hold you to ransom.

if in didnt pay the release fee they'd hold the goods (storage fees) then dispose of and still bill me.

Is your sandwich plate billet or cast? you need the thick billet ones to fit a pressure sender unit.

Surely he could tap into any oil line with a t piece and then run a gauge off that? Pascals law says "pressure exerted anywhere in a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid."
