I message them, by any chance , could I pick up? Reply is, No, our sunshine warehouse facility doesn't have provisions for consumer pick up. All good, was worth a short asking, and makes me feel better that the message clearly mentions their "local" warehouse.
Bought it, paid for it & the postage on Monday. Estimated shipping by this Friday. Looking good right ?
This morning I get a message, that due to the Corona effect delays, my item won't be shipped from mainland china until well into March... You have got to be fckuing kidding me...
So I message them in return, asking for my $ back due to misleading information and I get a response in Chinese... Yep! Google Chrome automatically kindly offers to translate & From basic understanding, they're telling me, bad luck pretty much...
I'm going through ebay/paypal assistance channels about it now, but from past experience, I've eaten a big fat carrot with this case.
