I am sure that this was brought up way back when, but why are we having to pay for shipping twice? Something about the new guy couldn’t get the money from the original group organizer. This whole thing has already been running me the wrong way for months, and this certainly isn’t helping. If only I could get my money back (sigh.)
I mean UsualSuspectXXX answered your question the other time you asked it but I will answer it again. Hope you read it this time.
Jhoang has the money. No one can get to it. Luckily the boards were retrieved by Kuang. He's not going to pay for the shipping of your board.
The only people who didn't have to pay double shipping are the ones who disputed their board with Paypal prior to the 180 day deadline and then repurchased form Kuang. AFAIK, I might be the only one.
Thank you for the information, but not the smart ass-edness. The only thing I know for a fact is that all of this has left an incredibly bad taste in my mouth. I am sorry for Kuang's troubles, I really am, and I hope he is doing better. However, this was a business transaction. We all take a risk with these buys, that is a given, but generally speaking, most organizers have some sort of a backup plan. Maybe things are different overseas, but it absolutely blows my mind that he cannot retrieve the money for the shipping. What is happening to the original money we paid for shipping? Is it just being pocketed by Kuang?
I don't know if you saw my earlier posts some time back, but I sold my spot in this buy. The guy I sold my spot to decided to dispute our PayPal transaction two weeks before Christmas, never mind that I was not the one shipping the boards. Thanks to this buy I had almost 600 pulled out of my account before doing my Christmas shopping for my two little girls. So, yeah, I am a little bitter. Now having to pay more money on top of it to get a board that I tried to sell the spot for? Even if I sell it I am still losing my ass. Methinks this is my last group buy on this forum or any other. Simply not worth the risk, hassle, and bad feelings this one has generated. If I see something I want I will just wait and buy it from whoever inevitably will want to sell it.
This isn't the first time I have seen an actual photograph of my board. I am not holding my breath that I will be receiving it any time soon.
