Today I was suprised to see a box on my doorstep. The return address was for 'Bargainland'. I recognized the name as a company I bought from on ebay a few weeks back- but had already recieved my item for. The item is a surplus IBM Netvista FlexATX case- the auction I went for ended at $0.99, but other have gone as high as $2.25(!). The seller has an 88% feedback rating(!) and lot of negatives. There are several sites online saying how bad the seller was, and there's talk of a class action law suit. I didn't have a terrible experience, but I wasn't exactly happy. Their shipping sucked, their packing sucked, and their payment system was clunky. I got an email after that auction that my package was en route... from their facility to their facility. WTF. It wasn't bad enough for a negative, so I left a positive stating "Item caught fire upon reciept." It was buried by 400 other feedback in 6 hours, so hey.

Anyways. Should I send the item back? It's probably cost about $10 to ship back, and I'd definately have to re-pack, as the box(es) it came in suck: Box I highly doubt they're reinburse me, or notice.

What do you think?

Send it back but make THEM pay shipping.

Can't you just refuse the package, and the UPS or whom ever will send it back?

Email them and tell them you have it. Tell them that they can send someone over to pick it up but you aren't making any effort to get it to them other than putting it on the front porch.

Haha, that's not as bad as the guy that got the IPOD. The box was totaled. I can't find that thread, it was so funny. If someone can find it post the link.

Yep, 88%???????????????????????????

If you haven't opened the box, RETURN TO SENDER and shipping is free.
