Dear SGMERC members...

I would like to share with all of you an experience I had with my recent purchase on eBAY, through this seller - Jakuo. I had installed the grill but to my surprise, there are 2 gaps at the top corner between the bonnet and the grill. This made both the bonnet and grill looks weird.

This is the URL which I bought from: http://www.ebay.com/...9a782f9&vxp=mtr

Do take some time to look at the picture in the listing. The grill is suppose to be fitted nicely without any gap.

As I purchased through PayPal, I lodge a compliant to them using the resolution centre and the seller, Jakuo got back to me and gave me 2 options, to choose another product or a refund. I chose the later and I was given a full refund to my PayPal account which was then credited to my credit card.

I think if any of the members here are facing the same issue, you should do the same as me.

Just my thoughts for those who probably think that they cannot do anything about it.

Regards

DTKW

Thanks for sharing & glad that you got back a full refund. Anyway this is known issue that there will a slight protuding for this model on C class.. Then again, the degree of acceptance is by individual. Did jakuo ask u to send back the item before refund :).

You are lucky that the seller willingly to refund. I had a bad experience with a seller for my landy accesories. Upon receipt the parts & found fitments issue. Immediately inform the seller & they claims that will resend a new set. But they deliberately delay the shipment for more than 45 days from the purchase day. Once this period is over u cant launch any claims against them. Ebay also cant be bothered after this period of time too. So, next time if u encounter such issue, give the seller a week time to response if no news from them dont wait, just launch a complains.

Bro, did you get a professional to install for you? I encountered similar issue with my C63 grill that I got from Hannson awhile back. When I tried to DIY it, it wouldn't fit properly unlike my previous SL style grill, which I also DIY and slots in nicely. I complained to Hannson but I went to a workshop for a professional opinion. In the end, it was my own lousy DIY skills that was the problem. The new C63 grill is just very tight and hard to fit. I think Bros here who have gotten the grill from Hannson or Tech55 would agree. I did post this issue up some time back before the forum was revamped.

Hi Bro... Thank you for your kind post. No, he did not ask me to return the item, which is surprising for me actually. I am just lucky I think. I just hope that other brothers here know about this issue and my post might potentially help saved them a little. Cheers...

Hi Bro... Thank you for your post, it's really nice to know that yours fit perfectly. Can I ask where you get the professional opinion from? Maybe I can go down to ask them too.

I went to Autospritze to get it fitted. Since you already got a refund and they don't require you to send the item back, might as well make the best of it and see if it really can be installed! Got nothing to lose. If its really a defect can just throw it away in the end.

Hi Bro... Thanks for sharing. Am going down tomorrow and see if they can do something about it. Can you reveal how much they charge you? If really can install, that will be the best! Like what you said, nothing to lose... Thanking you in advance!

Did you mail back the product before he gave a full refund? I have my bad share of experiences with online shopping, and you are very lucky to have met a seller with integrity

Hi Bro... Nope. The seller didn't ask for it.

It's call payPal Buyers Protection!

Not happy with your purchase after your emails with the seller - lodge a complaint at Paypal resolution centre.

I've non deliveries,, defective item & not as described, I usually gets refund from seller or replacement!

I've with PayPal for 12 years & purchased >800 times from >600 individual sellers.

BlackMercs is right that U must lodged a report before the 45 days from date of purchase to enjoy Paypal protection.

Cheers

I'm a MB Whore! :)
