Unquestionable integrity

[Traveler]

Today I'd like to sing praise to the unquestionable integrity of some of the Hubbers that trade in the Classifieds. I have dealt with some awesome people on the Hub and a few has turned into friendships.

 

I was looking for a pair of narrow carbon bars for my daughter's MTB, and found near perfect set from a seller in the Cape Colony. Seller is known as kimitwattie here on the Hub. The discussions and the following deal was just a pleasure, and all was paid and shipped on 24 April.

 

This was were things went wrong, as the shipper used Postnet and the parcel fell into an unknown hole. Never arrived in Joburg, I subsequently logged a complaint with Aramex and they started their investigation. I notified the seller and he took the matter very seriously.

 

Eventually after a lot of back and forth between both myself and the seller with Aramex/Postnet, it was agreed that there is a claim with them. Then out of own accord kimitwattie (Jan) arranged with CWC and I could select a set of bars to replace the bars missing. It was slightly difficult as I had to consider the fact that the bars had to be made narrower.

 

We received the bars on Monday, nearly 2 months after the process started. During all this time I regularly received feedback from the seller as to the info he got and what was going on. I can only say that I have developed tremendous respect for Jan and his commitment to resolve an issue which he did not create. RESPECT!!

I don't think that profession has ever been under a cloud this dark.

 

As for this thread, I believe hubbers with integrity still outnumber those without.

That said, recent events have resulted in most of us being more cautious.

Awesome to hear .

My limited experience of buying and selling on the hub has only been positive .

So I think honest hubbers are by far the majority on here .

I have had only very good dealings here. I am sure I will get burnt but I dont even do the most basic checks....I like to believe cyclists are good people

[CASSIE1975]

RESPECT!!!!

 

Also had ONLY GOOD dealings with 99.99999% of Hubbers over the years...if the communication is done correctly and you know what the status of the deal is...then things can not go wrong too many times (me thinks) 

 

Just in the last 2 or 3 weeks dealt with 3 different Hubbers and most went out of there way to help where they can...THANK YOU ALL!!!

 

Edit - wrong word...

Wait.... Wait... Just putting my flame suit on.

I work with a bunch of auditors daily. Integrity has never been an issue..... however.... time management, communication and organization gives me all my loads of grey hair.

Which auditing company could that possibly be?

Op just out of interest, how did Postnet/aramex deal with the missing parcel, despite not offering insurance and claiming not to have any liability for loss whilst goods are in their care in their T&C's, were they prepared to pay out something for the lost parcel?
