Guys ... some advice required from the guys in AUS for me down in South Africa.

I purchased something from an aftermarket dealer in Aus.

Payed for the goods into their bank account.

My friend was in AUS at the time, so I had this dealer mail the item to where he was going to be. The goods never arrived. I am in contact with the other people at this address ... and they confirmed that the goods never arrived.

This dealer has proof that he sent the parcel away, but the post office cannot confirm delivery.

This has been going on for almost 6 months now.

While I agree that the post office may be at fault. Should the dealer not take some responsibility for not insuring the parcel ??

Your thoughts guys / girls ... do I write the money off as a deal gone bad <_< or do I bug the crap out of this dealer till he produces a refund :lol:

it is goin to be hard !!!!!i purchased off e-bay the parcel was sent.....not delivered,the post office had no idea where it is or was....it was not insured.....and i even put in a investigation into the lost item with no luck it has been 4months and still nothing!!!!

The best that aus post can do is compensate you for a maxium of "$50" frikken tight ****s!!!!but here's the worst part it is not paid to you it is paid to the person who sent the parcel then you have to chase them for a measly $50 the item i purchased was worth $250!!!!!(i have lost faith in E-BAY)!!!! :angry::angry::angry::angry: :( :( :(

I'm from South Africa as well, and mate, your parcel probably got lost in the South African post office. The way they handle the parcels there is just beyond bad... things get lost very often, and then it's impossible to trace when it does.

The parcel sent from Australia can probably be traced up to the point before it leaves Australia, but after that, it will be hard.

I must say that at least I have had good experiences with E-Bay ... touch wood B)

I am actually at that point where I will prob just write the money off, but I mean ... it wasnt a whole lot of bucks, but it just makes you wary of these internet purchases.

I had it sent to an addie in AUS ... one of my companies customers. Parcel never arrived there.

The post office reckons theres no way of tracking it as it was sent as normal post :angry:

You can file a customer complaint to the Australian Post Office and they try find it for you. Request the shop to give you a Post Office receipt, and put that together with the complaint. If the seller can't even give you a Post Office receipt, then you can fight with them.

Thanks guy :D

The dealer already did all the form filling out, etc. He said he was also willing to mail me a receipt for the mail. I will send him one last e-mail to see what he says. I am at that point now where I am almost ready to write the money off anyways.

Thanks for the help guyz.

At least he is trying to help and not just ignore you totally.

True. Thing is he's not replied to my last 3 e-mails. Nevertheless ... money flushed :(

Sorry to hear that :( i've been lucky enough to not experience something like this. figures are like 0.001% of a situation like this happening.

      200 series won’t shift past 4th gear

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Having read some of the replies, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a minor remap. Toyota in their wisdom have the software in the ECU such that it cannot be downloaded, modified and reloaded. It has to be a complete reload, either stock or modified. All you fellows disconnecting the battery is a good and simple way to try and reset everything but similar results can be achieved by simply disconnecting the ECU. That's the big plug in the firewall passenger side. Meanwhile I may need to start a new topic for the following issues I am experiencing: Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info. Bit the bullet and replaced all 4 with new slotted rotors and pads from DBA. Huge difference in braking. However the shudder has return almost with a vengeance. Thought I fixed the problem when I disconnected the ECU for another unrelated issue. ECU is remapped, car went in limp mode and could not clear it with the scangauge. Problem not fixed and I am lost as to why this is happening. Plan on visiting Berima Diesel later on this year to have the injectors checked and I'll get them to look at the brakes if I still haven't figured it out. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt.

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm? 192.168.100.1 192.168.1.1

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.
