Bought a frame off Retrobike, was supposedly sent on Wednesday (now Tuesday) with Parcelforce 48. Didn't turn up Friday so pmed seller on Saturday asking for tracking number, no reply. No sign of it yesterday so pmed again, no reply again. Woke up this morning to a refund and a pm saying seller had been away since Friday and has lost the tracking number so he has refunded as it's obviously lost.
Seem suspicious that refund was so forthcoming? It wasn't much, £70 but if it was me I'd have been looking for another day or so to make sure it didn't turn up.
Most annoying thing is that in the interim I've spent £140 on a set of forks to go with the frame. That's nothing to do with seller of the frame just a pain in the arse!
