wanted to ask the group how they might proceed in my circumstance.
I recently ordered some car parts and I specifcally asked in advance, and had confimed back before buying, that they were proper Suzuki genuine parts from Japan.
the seller charged me double what he charges for his other kits with photos of these exact same looking "pattern parts".
I was perfectly ok with paying double to get real Suzuki parts, and his prices were still much lower than the main dealer. but what has arrived is a mixture of real Suzuki parts and some very obviouse and very low quality "fake parts". no packaging, no branding or manufacture codes or any info at all! they look like junk.
(like not even round, my bare eyes can see the flaws so it wont work as an oil seal)
the twist is... the car is being re-tested for the MOT later today and then Im booked leaving the country in the early hours of the morning!
while that part is certainly not the sellers fault, I went over this with him before buying! oh but now he says that I must be confused and that he never said anything of the sort, even though its in writing in the message thread just a few entires below!
this was the insult rubbed in the injury!
its not fair that the seller gets to keep my money, but there is no way that I have the time to sort out packing it up and dropping it off.
and I thought... when a dodgy seller sent you fakes you didnt need to send them back, you could just put them in the bin and still get the refund?
