Traveler Posted June 21, 2018 Share 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomo Posted June 21, 2018 Share Thought this was going to be a post about us auditors. I guess not...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.

Popit Posted June 21, 2018 Share 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 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CASSIE1975 Posted June 21, 2018 Share 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!!!

Skylark Posted June 21, 2018 Share 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?
