Hello everione, I nid ur opinions how i should deal wif my situation as stated in my post early last mth at X1-R forum. Im confused n in need of HELP! Anyway here is da story:

Hi fellow X1-R riders,

 

Sorry if my topic is abit off. I have not been updating myself with wat's going on in this forum for so long. Glad to see u guys still organize gatherings but so sorry I can't join due to work!

 

I'm juz wondering if any of u have any bad experience getting stuffs from this particular shop at Dunlop Street. It's called Biketech21. I had a few but da last time i had one from dem really turned me off!

 

The story:

 

Early last month, i ordered an Arai helmet at $490 from dem, after hearing it from a fren's fren who got it from dem too. I was convinced it was da cheapest I can get, since I saw normally dey sell at $580 outside. Dey told me dat dey will send deir own people to get it directly from Japan. However, i will need to wait 4-6 weeks for it to arrive. I agreed to it and put a $300 cash deposit. Dey issued me an invoice and I left da shop.

 

Da next day, a fren of mine told me abt da limited editions. He told me i shud get a limited edition helmet since im getting it directly from Japan. However, when i tell da shop dat i wanna change to a limited edition helmet and willing to pay more da next day, dey told me arai dn produce animore limited edition for dat particular helmet. Disappointed wif da fact, I had no choice but to proceed wif da current one.

 

Juz yesterday, I went to dat same shop again to cancel my order since I badly need da money 4 other important things. Da shop said da order can't be cancelled coz it's specially ordered for me n shipment is due 1 or 2 weeks time. Shipment??? I tot dey were gonna sent deir own people to get it directly from der??? I don't know wat kind of policy is diz??? Y can't i cancel my order n get a refund when da product isn't even here yet??? Maybe da reason y i have to wait dat long is because dey r waitg 4 others to order helmets/apparels of da same brand so dat dey can ship dem here simultaneously n save cost! I might be wrong but I guess dat's da reason!

 

In da end, dey offered me a refund only if is placed under resell and someone buy it. OMG. I don't understand y dey hv to make it so difficult for me! Dey simply wanna make a profit despite da customer's misery! Dey asked me y i changed my mind. I said it's because i managed to find dat limited edition helmet dat I want at a reasonable price. Another round of frustration started again when dey told me dat da particular helmet dat i wanted is not in 2009 or 2010 catalog n start browsing da catalogs, n showed me it mite be a different model. I insisted dat it was part of da 2009 models but its not da normal ones. I said it's da Limited Edition helmets. Dey told me to check again. Den i said dat i checked out dat helmet at one shop in Jurong n it existed. Finally, one of dem called his fren or whoever to check out. After realizing he was wrong, he began to browse another catalog n showed it to me n said its $880 n offered me. I told dem i noe it's $880 but i can get it cheaper elsewhere. He finally said he have nothing to say. But still, I have no choice but to agree to put da helmet at resell once it arrive and wait for a willing da buyer to get it n get my refund. Even dat is so, i believe its not a full refund oso. Sigh... Diz resell thingy really pissed me off!

 

I decided to put it on sale here as well as my FB hoping someone will buy it. A buyer wanted to change its size, and another one wanted to change its color. I emailed dem last nite to noe if it's possible but no reply watsoever. I even called da shop juz now but I can't get thru. Very, very, very bad customer service. In da end, all I can say is I'm dissatisfied and frustrated with them and I'm completely turned off! Partly maybe it's my fault for being fickle-minded but I'm a customer. Will never get aniting from dem again!

 

As u guys hv known, its been more den 2 months n almost 3 months i hv not hear any news abt da helmet. I cant proceed wif my sale n get my refund too as da helmet is not here yet! So hw shud i deal wif diz situation? Shud i proceed wif legal actions coz i feel da shop cheated me wif deir nonsensical policies of not able to get refund unless resell n i've been waitg 4 far too long! No news no nothing! Juz silence! I dn wish to offend anione here bt i feel justice shud be done rite? Thanks 4 ur opinions

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but what they are doing is correct. A deposit is non refundable. Deposit means deposit. Cannot get back. That's why as a consumer u gotta ask questions before u pay for anything. It's not wrong to ask questions.

 

The issue of whether they send their own people or ship it back, there's no difference. If they send their people there also, they have to ship their people back what. I don't see anything wrong with that.

 

For the confusion of the model and such, you have to understand it from their point of view. They have 1001 items to sell. Urs is just 1. Next time bring a photo and compare before u buy.

 

So where's the problem here? I think it's u. Not trying to sound harsh or what but it's the truth. I'm not supporting anyone. Just giving my honest opinion. The truth sucks i know Just remember. Research, then buy. See, if u had looked around more before u paid the deposit, u'd have found the shop in jurong and walked off a happy customer. Don't flame the shops. Sometimes u gotta look at it from a different point of view. Consumers should protect themselves before they go into any kind of deal.

What Was The Reason They Gave To Show That Your IU Unit Was Really Spoilt?

 

Got Crack? Water Go Inside? No More Serial Number Sticker At The Side? Warrany Sticker Tampered?

Gotta Agree With Hakim. If I Were You, Just Get The Helmet Which U Already Paid Deposit & Sell It Off To Someone Here Or A Friend. What To Do. No Point Crying Over Spilt Milk.
