I bought this for my girlfriend for Christmas, I paid for it on the 1st of December.
Total was £335, which included £80 for postage and the balance a fee for (me insisting on) using PayPal goods to pay, rather than gift.
Mick doesn't have a PayPal account, so I paid a friend of his (also "on here").
Mick posted the bike two weeks after I'd paid for it, and then according to the tracking information it went to Germany.
The most recent tracking data is from the 22nd of December, showing it to have arrived in Germany.
It's now the 5th of January, I have no frame, Mick assures me that it's coming, but has not provided any tracking data as La Poste are rectifying the mistake they made when they sent it to Germany.
I have initiated a claim via PayPal, and am in the "try to sort it out with the vendor" period, however the chap to whom I paid the money is not the vendor, which makes this complicated.
My girlfriend doesn't want the frame, I just want my money back.
However, the frame is apparently "on it's way, can't be stopped", so the vendor doesn't want to refund the money.
There is no ETA.
What to do, LFGSS?
