Title: Proceed with caution Post by: 90grad on October 29, 2007, 08:39:46 am All,
I just wanted to let you know about a recent experience I had buying a coin mech. There is a company near LA called Premier Vendors, www.premiervendors.com. A few years ago, I bought a used Coinco S75-9800 from them. They sell them for $29.99 each, with a 30-day guarantee and free shipping. I ordered it and paid via Paypal. I heard nothing from them for about 2 weeks. I emailed and they replied within a day or two with the tracking #. So, I was satisfied. I ordered another mech from them on Sept. 23rd. After 2 weeks, I had heard nothing. So, I emailed - nothing. I emailed again a week later - nothing. I called them and left a message - no reply. I then emailed a 3rd time - nothing. Pretty much royally cheesed, I contacted Paypal and filed a claim. Paypal then lets the other party know I have filed one. A week passes and nothing. So, I escalate the claim with Paypal where they get directly involved. The rules are if the seller doesn't respond to Paypal within 10 days, I get my money. Low and behold, the day after I escalate the claim, I receive and email via Paypal the mech has shipped. They sent this thing Priority Mail with delivery confirmation. It cost them $16 to ship it, which made me feel good as I screwed them monetarily after all. The bottom line is be careful if you deal with these yahoos. |
