TradeRouteAuctions 75 Posted February 21, 2021 Hallo 9th Feb to 18th already more than a week. I would think 7 days from date of payment you should send a complaint to hello@bidorbuy.co.za Seller seem not to take the sale seriously. Delays can be accepted only if there was proper and continuous communication Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiemsJewels 12 Posted February 21, 2021 Bad customer service for a seller without any ratings yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adri M van Zyl 11 Posted May 27, 2021 Sellers ask excessive shipping to make up for 'money lost' which is absolute unacceptable. BoB should really get on board here and get this practice out of here. Choose 3 couriers and just use them on this site. Negotiate a set rate and FORCE sellers to honour or leave. Honestly, buyers gets horrible service, and then we have to WAIT and even ask more than once for tracking numbers. With such high shipping and them using couriers, it should be sent daily and not 3 days before dispatching to a courier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
