Advice after ordering dreads.

[ProudToBeDifferent]

Sorry all, just need some advice. I ordered a set of dreads about 5 months ago,the seller did explain why its taken so long. Spoke to her about 3 1/2 weeks ago and was told they were half done and would be finished that week. Now she is not answering my texts, emails or calls. I really don't know what to do as it's a lot of money for me to loose . Any advice?

are they a member of the board? Do they have a review thread? After 5 months of waiting and 3.5 weeks of no communication, you may be approaching name and shame territory. Unfortunately I am not sure what else you may be able to do. I think most Paypal disputes have to be made within 90 days.

I'd be concerned. In fact, I'd have been concerned after 2 months let alone 5. I've been on the receiving end of something similar before & all I did was email her DAILY until she replied & I eventually got my money back.

It also made me incredibly wary of sellers on line & as a result I have 3, maybe dread sellers I will use as I know they are honest & reliable.

If they're not replying to you, seriously hassle them & they'll have to reply eventually. Failing that, I'm afraid you're probably out of pocket unless you search through PP T&C's - I know you can sometimes claim as long as you have transfer details from your bank stating what it was for & so on.

*sighs* I have been texting almost daily and have rang a few times, I have sent her messages on here too. Its really sad and annoying Saved for ages for dreads, sad I know but a good set isn't cheap. I wouldn't wish her to loose customers but I don't want the same thing to happen to others as I know its a lot of money to loose and a long time to wait to loose it if you know what I mean? Well I guess I'll keep trying for a while, but its really stressing me out plus I really wanted some dreads. I guess I'll have to find someone else to make me some and start saving again and hope this doesn't happen again.

Do they have a review thread on here? I would definitely be leaving a review if I were you. It's amazing what a bit of negative publicity can do in giving someone a kick up the arse!

I have PM'd them on here and it hasn't delivered so I don't think they have been on here. Still no contact and have tried sending more messages, do you think it's time to give up?

[MrsEss]

If your pm is sat in your outbox that just means they haven't read it yet.

Don't give up. Seriously, make a post in reviews so everyone else knows this seller hasn't delivered. If you don't they could rip another person off.
