Title: £12 Poker II
Post by: RoastPotatoes on Thu, 16 April 2015, 13:50:08
So on the 6th of February I bought 3 Poker II's for £12 each. At the time I didn't know if I was going to get them, but for £12 each it seemed like an ok gamble. This was on amazon so there was a reasonable chance of it arriving. I still haven't received them and I am just wondering If I should concede and get a refund.
The seller has told me they have been sent back from customs.

I just wanted some opinions on what I should do.

I would just seek a refund.

Alternatively, contact Amazon directly and see if they can do anything to help.

If I need to I will. But I believe that amazon only guarantees a refund and at the moment the seller is being cooperative. So the refund is available. But I was really looking forward to getting some new keyboards.

Yeah :( I guess see if they think they'll be able to get them through customs on a second try. Otherwise, there's not much else to do.

Pretty sure this one has been debunked by someone else.  That price is unrealistic and scammy.

Do you have any sources? I haven't felt much of a scammy vibe as of yet. But I certainly doubted whether they ever tried to send them.

Saw it on Reddit.

I also saw it as well. There was thread posted a few weeks back, and multiple people got that response back from the seller. Most likely, someone messed up listing the board, and are giving this story to cover their mistake. Take the refund and move on. Not worth the trouble otherwise, IMO.

The seller has said that some have been getting through customs. So I am checking with some of  the users I found on reddit. But it looks like  I will be pursuing a refund.
