I need to vent!

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Damn Centrelink, damn Australian tax office...
If KRudd has the moolah to censor the 'net WHY CAN'T WE HAVE CENTRELINK PHONELINES YOU CAN ACTUALLY REACH!? Or online tax services that ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE?! I've got 2 freaking Uni degrees and it's all gibberish.

Huff...huff...a pox upon all bureaucracies, a pox I say!

Microsoft's Windows 7 pricing, especially with the lack of upgrade promotion bar the 'buy Vista now get a free Windows 7 upgrade later!" Why do the yanks get all the good deals??

Never thought Id need to vent but I think I just lost US$100 . I aid thru paypal and its already was past the 45 days dispute window, aaaaaargh. I ordered for 4 Alex Milne lithographs from TFCON - Cybertron Canada all is well they communicated with me and all that when I asked how long will it take - Answered back (email) 4-6 weeks..... So i waited - this was in May first week, Its now July for pete's sake. Emailed them back on the sixth week stating the items are a no show. They emailed back to say if the items dont show by end of week email back so they can re-send a new one. Which I did. its been 4 days now and havent heard a reply. I filed a Paypal dispute - of course they cant do anything anymore about it ( but they said still file a claim coz they have to monitor this user - yeah right) im guessing they would not reply to me anymore since I filed a Paypal dispute but hey Ive been very amicable, patient and courteous all the time, so have they in their email replies but this is ridiculous and loosing $134 is no laughing matter to be taken lightly, I freakin work hard just to earn that money, I could've just bought something else with it. Well Im still hoping somehow the posters magically arrive one day. If not, freakiin hell I 'll advice everyone to stay clear of Cybertron Ca then for anymore offers. ... hate to put labels and say it but what a rip-off!!

What was the shipment method?

Canada surface sometimes take up to 3 months.

They are one of the worst carriers.

If it was shipped airmail.............. then they suck.

Losing $134 does suck, losing any money really does suck. A few years back I lost around $600 to a guy a bought Fort Max off (which I never got) This was back in the days when I was a noob and paid with it by money order coz I didnt have a Paypal Account. Learnt my lesson after that.

There is still hope liege. So who did you order from an individual or bussines/organisation?

I once lost about $90 from an ebay auction. The seller kept in constant touch and was good communicating so I took that as assurance that everything was fine. He seized communication when the Dispute deadline begun to approach and by the time I tried to open a dispute it was too late.

I learned my lesson and from then on if I don't receive the item a week before the dispute deadline is over, I file one automatically. If the item does show up, I close the dispute.
