Gah!!! My first suck Reverb transaction!

[JerEvil]

Been on Reverb for a couple years now and never had an issue UNTIL... Insaw a deal too good to be true. Had to hop on it. Primacoustic “London 10” room treatment set for &250 new. Seller stated it was opened for inspection but never put up.

I sent a message on the 9/2/18 making sure when I got it it would be “as new”. No response that night but said “heck with it” and grabbed it the next day on 9/3. That is less than 50% off.

48 hours go by and nothing. Usually Teverb recommends shipping within 48 hours. I reach out. Ask they guy when he’d be shipping and to verify it was “as new”. Send another note on 9/8. Call Reverb on 9/9 asking about policy on shipping and if anything can be done. They offer to refund me. I told them I’d like to give it another day or two as it’s a very good deal. They reach out to the guy. Crickets.

Reverb calls me on the 10th saying that I should take the refund as they can’t get the seller. I ask them to hold until Friday.

Guy FINALLY responds saying “Sorry. Was in the studio recording my album. I’ll ship it Thursday.”

So no response for over a week and not shipping for 10 days after purchase.

Now, I’ve NEVER left a negative feedback before. Not even with over a decade on eBay.

What would you all do? Wait to see the condition of the set first?

Man that sucks. At least they are covering the shipping. This dude was like “oh my bad, I was laying down some tracks...”

There’s no excuse for shitty service

 

[Racerxrated]

Pretty sure he has access to email while he is recording, unless he's camping out in the studio with no devices and sleeping on the floor. He's full of shit.
That said as long as you can still get your money back, take a chance, maybe it'll work out.

 

[paulyc]

Let your inner Masshole out (for Crissakes you wear it on your sleeve ...literally LOL)...fuck him.

 

[splatter]

You opted to wait sooooo.

 

[shredhead7]

My bet is he WAS in the studio; putting up your sound panels, recording and then taking them down again and stuffing them back into the plastic and is now trying to stuff them back into the box.

Is it not trending with a number I hate to even guess how high the percentage that the " brand new never used or USED only one time and sealed back up in the box is like everyone's used listing description. Unless it is unopened its probably used and has no signs of wear/use so it gets the trending description mentioned. That plus the bullshit game with the email response makes me happier to let them keep it and I'll find someone who actually can communicate as well as a 3rd grader to buy from instead. More piece of mind. Saving money is great but having to guess if someone's full of shit isnt. As they say go with your gut reaction". Sorry for the bs listing

 

[maddnotez]

TBH it is foam. I would not worry about it. If this were an amp I would be worried as his laziness probably would reflect on his packing skills as well but in this case I'm sure it will show up fine, eventually.

Totally agree.

Yup. Recorded a full album in 1996 and was still able to get on AOL and use my email... just saying.

Trigger finger is itchy! LOL!

You opted to wait sooooo.

Oh no doubt. I opted to hang in and glad it is at least SUPPOSEDLY shipping tomorrow, however in this day and age, with cell phones and all, who you are selling something and the site managers even call you repeatedly, you'd think you'd respond timely.

LOL! Could be!

Yeah I had decided if I didn't;t hear back by Friday I was going to say "screw it". I really need room treatment, am not in the least bit handy so this was a great find for the cost. I will be interested to see if there are any "hang holes" in the backs of the panels.

Dude!!!! It is FIBERGLASS! How DARE you??? LOL!

True though. They should at least not have an issue arriving alive.

If you were NJ local I could hook you up with a deal on that stuff, but shipping pretty much kills it. Those things are a pain in the arse to ship.

Probably cheaper to drive it home to Las Vegas! LOL!

 

[crwnedblasphemy]

i believe reverb is a 72 hour shipping policy after payment, so that is way too long.

Isn't it funny with musicians how they always are "on tour" or "have 35 years experience" or "In studio".

Happens constantly. I've had a guy lie to me about shipping saying he was on a tour I was literally on and he wasn't. Had a guy the other day hit me up on CL to tell me how my Custom Shop Jackson wasn't a real Jackson because it had the other headstock. I looked him up when he said he had a 40 year career and was touring. He played a $200 Jackson Korean bass and played in a grunge cover band that played like 4 shows 6 years ago. LOL.

Just funny how musicians lie to each other. Just be honest, "yo dude, I didn't ship out your gear because I am lazy and I am in my basement recording on a 12 year old iMac and couldn't be arsed."

Oh this for real man! At least it is “en route” and I have tracking info. He SWEARS all panels are still wrapped and sealed in the original packaging. That will determine how bad my feedback rating is. 8 days no communication and 9 to ship is unacceptable. If he would have gotten back in 48-72 hours I’d be less PO’d honestly.

Even if it is in brand new condition I would not leave 5 stars. I have had similar issues with people on other forums but the only issue I had on Reverb was a ridiculously bad packing job. It was unbelievable tbh but you are probably cooler than me. i suck at communication.

It'll probably be 3 star with a mention of the communication
