TDI... anyone else have issues?

[K04B5]

I'm not trying to knock Kristof (he did seem to go through quite a headache with his local post office over what really is just a switch), but I wanted to see if anyone else here at audizine.com has gotten "Screwed" / never recieved a produc that you paid him for? I'm not trying to start anything but maybe if I bring this up as a topic for all to see, I may actually get my money back or atleast what I paid for... or at the very least a response.

Story is I sent him ~ $45US to order a FUNK switch for my B5 A4 minus the actual "FUNK" lettering on the button. It is available, but only in Europe.

First attempt, he got the switch dropped it off at the post office. Waited a month or so, nothing. I emailed him, he went to the post office, and turns out the switch literally was never shipped from the manager's desk.

Second attempt, he apologized and they sent it out that day. I never recieved anything a month or so later. I pmed him and had to threaten disputes before I got a response. He was pretty heated but understood where I stood.

Third attempt, he went back to the post office, told them. They reimbursed him and we did this all over again. Still nothing.

Keep in mind I send the cashier's check to him in January or February of 2008. Its been so long I can't remember which month anymore. I pmed him the other day discussing my frustration and got no response. I think its pretty rediculous and find something slightly fishy going on... buyers beware! Also this is all through typed conversations, never over the telephone, so its hard to tell if the truth is being told. I just want help resolving this, so if moderators would like to jump in and help out, I'd much appreciate it.

A very honest man myself,

i'm a verry honest men to,never had issues with somebody on AZ
and never ripped off somebody

to start,from your money you sended toward me,it wasn't even enough to pay te switch,but i don't care,it was like 2 or 3€ i had to pay on top
so no prob for me
that the post offices suck in belgium IS TRUE
before i had the same shit going on with so.cal.sparky
what would be 10 day's to ship euro rear lights became 1 or 2 month's
same stuff going on
Only shitty part now is that your part doesn't arrive and belgium doesn't have the same tracking system as you usa guy's have
so i do not have annything to prove that i sended it out 3 TIMES
payed 3 times for a knob that nevver arrives
Indeed the problem is you lost money,wel i lost the same ammount( lil bit more) 3 TIMES
cause the € is 1.5 times a usa$
on the stuff that i don't reply
sometimes i'm on AZ everyday
sometimes i'm not on AZ for half a month
i do have a really bussy life as a chef
but i swear on annything you want i sended this stuff out for 3 times
only thing i can do to prove it is to ask the billing in my garage to prove you they delivered it to me
and what would i do with a funk knob for a B5??????

I do hope we can figure this out on some kind of way,but with starting a topic on how bad i are......i don't know but it isn't a plesant feeling at all
i sended so.cal.spraky euro stuff
i sended my euro tails also out to a a guy (lost his name) something with pyro...
so ask them i would suggest

i'm a honest man

From my experience, I can attest to the Belgium post office sucking. I sold and sent a Carbon Fiber Spoiler to a AZ member and what should have been a normal run of the mill transaction turned into 4 months of crap for both of us. The first spoiler I sent was held ransom by the post office, they wanted 400 euro worth of duty because they did not believe the true value of the product at $300 and felt it was worth more.

As we went back and forth me me sending them invoices and and few letters, they finally decided to release it to him. Of course by now they had totally damaged it because they had it out of the box, so I got to send him a new one for free and of course I did not get reimbursed by the insurance...

TDI... you knew this was coming, I made it clear in several pm's that I'd post here. I have every single pm we ever sent back and forth so that I have proof of everything.

Also I am not talking about how bad you are, but rather just trying to see how many other people (if any) have had the same problem.

And just to make another point, if you knew that the post system was so terrible, why didn't you just end it via another shipping company? Yes it would have cost more, but in the long run would have saved plenty of time, money and frustration. As for the money I sent you, I was pretty sure that when I asked how much it would be, I even threw in a few extra US $, so it shouldn't have been short by any amount.
