Ruck Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 They've admitted they have lost it and claim full responsibility. Sellers beware, this is shocking.
fretmeister Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I hope someone noticed the lost item compensation limits on their T&C, and that it was enough.

Sellers beware, this is shocking. [/quote] That's bad news - sorry to hear it. Although IMO it's not shocking. Shocking would be if they didn't admit it, and didn't claim responsibility.
CamdenRob Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Nothing like this ever surprises me... I hope you get full compensation
ambient Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 This is why I always collect. You can get advance train tickets for a really good price if you're prepared to be flexible. I picked by Roscoe up from Warrington, the fare was £12 return.

But yes i should of taken a holiday over to get it. Ive recieved many basses from Europe and USA with no problem in the last 17 years. This is a first for me.

Twincam Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Horrible news I feel for you, so much sympathy. I thought dpd were supposed to be good. This is why I've never bought a bass or items over a certain value by post. I've sent many basses however thankfully never a issue, but I always think it will happen to me when buying. I really hope it was insured ok and you get the money back. Keep us informed.

SICbass Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 My experiences with dpd have been positive, so this comes as a surprise. Good luck with everything.
Graham Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 [quote name='Ruck' timestamp='1454686005' post='2972078'] Buying. [/quote] Did you arrange the courier?
40hz Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I wonder where it actually ended up? It's not like they disappear into the ether! Half-inched by someone at a depot? Mistakenly delivered elsewhere?

Highfox Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Sorry to hear this. It's the nightmare we all fear when posting or waiting for a bass to arrive. Hopefully you'll get fully reimbursed.

Although I did suggest maybe they sent it to the wrong address and skipped the depot scans but of course they cant answer to that.
Graham Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 [quote name='Ruck' timestamp='1454694552' post='2972220'] No [/quote] Not your problem then, it's up to the seller/shop to claim the insurance and then either refund you or get you the bass yyou paid for

LayDownThaFunk Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 You could have received it and been out. Then find it chucked over the back gate...
Subbeh Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Isn't it down to the person who arranged the courier to give money back and chase said courier? did you organise OP or was it the seller?
