44chux:
Pls use ur good conscience and judge this matter.

On the 11th of September an amazon link was sent via whatsapp to a NL shipping agent to indicate intent on purchase of a particular item (an inverter) and to inquire about his cost of shipping by sea given the item weight of 198lb. He informed me it would be around $55, based on which I went ahead to purchase and informed the agent to ship by sea when the item arrives on November 3rd (according to amazon 2-month estimated delivery date) because we both agreed it would be stupidity to ship such heavy item by air.

Fortunately/unfortunately, as is common with amazon, the item arrived 5days earlier on October 28th, only for this NL agent to ship it by air without informing me. When he finally informed me I told him he will have to hold onto the item when it arrives Nigeria until we figure out how we can settle cause it is pointless for me to pay double when the shipping cost will buy the same item in nigeria.

Now this agent has refused to send me my goods of an earlier shipment with him even after I completely paid for these items since October 12th. His reason is that I must pay for the YET TO ARRIVE item before he can release these.

Gunbiz:



is he asking for more than wat u guys bargained for?

Gunbiz:
can we have this on front page?

lazinny:
Who is shouting front page Imagine Nairaland if front-page is filled with business disputes.

44chux:

The objective of this thread is to solicit for advice which you are yet to give.

The least you can do is suggest ways to get same from nairaland court of public opinion, which is what Gunbiz did.

aieromon:


What type of advice are you looking for? Do you have proof of your agreement? The shipper can claim ignorance as his main mode of business is shipping by air. And indeed,he has shipped your consignment to your location.

Thanks.

lazinny:
1)going by your story, the agent is at fault. And you shouldn't pay for his mistakes but then, in business there are compromises.
2)It's just your side of the story here. You have to mention the agent and invite him here for your case to be handled appropriately.

44chux:
I have called him out on his thread

Infinitikoncept:

Wait till I have full battery then I'll respond in full

44chux:


Yes oohh.

Infact he wants me to pay for the max price at $4.5/lb for shipping by air rather than the agreed fee of $55 for shipping by sea

Infinitikoncept:
Last two parts

dragnet:

Did you at any point upon receiving that package know that it could have been the package destined for sea? at least considering it's weight. Because I believe the main broker for using sea was the weight factor.

Infinitikoncept:

Chukwudi knows me well enough than this. Even on his TV I shielded him despite the fact I have a $3000 PayPal limitation in which it was Eghosa that helped me pacify the guy I collected 220k upfront from on a PhD project. I still dey owe the guy 20k sef. Lols
When his TV involved signing a waiver that if the screen gets damaged in transit cox I no one insure at 10% or so the TV worth I called him & we walked through it. Everyone shouted on me during that period cox of their goods waiting to be cleared due to the exchange rate. Person wey I show mercy na #450 cox I had to use black market to clear cox I'm late already and I can't use dorm account ultimate search for USD yet he was charged #390 & $4 against #459-470 & $4.5/lbs.
Oga dragnet I never knew it was the Messiah that was coming cox as him get problem naso me sef get problem with my staffs wey one send me back to the village. Yesterday was when I became active on Nland again not cox I no one watch season film of scams, gains & loss but 24 hours no do me again but since he has come Nairaland & let go of mutual problem solving process he is free to come for his TV, sounsbars & other stuffs since they are well packaged but if that inverter spends another seven days I'll start counting demurrage.
The inverter belongs to him he should track it not me and as per weight u can ask darecool what he buys. Chukxx weight na joke. I dare not post some people weight online cox they told me not to but that him less than 200lbs na small thing compared to what some goons dey bring in as air cargo.
Mr chukxx arrange for your TV pick up & tell whoever is coming to bring a plier along. We open d box he checks the screen and we can even provide light for him to test it that he tool it in sound & safe condition.
Madam Bookiemart01 me I don hear you. If to say I no call the guy they form stupid humility & do like the Kong of shipping I'm sure he will say I proud but as I don mumu tell him we should solve it as matured goons and he feels he is innocent while I'm wrong then OYO is his case

dragnet:

Obviously, none of you wants to take the blame even though both of you have your shortcomings but I wouldn't want us to dwell much on that because business must continue, this experience would only shape decisions in future, you guys should compromise and meet yourselves midway so that everyone walks away without too much scratches.

44chux:


First, I have never shipped anything through you without asking you first for permission followed by screenshot of summary page with ETA.

Second, I tried calling you on the d-day but you wouldnt pickup, then I whatsapped you to call but you never did.
You provoked me when few days later I called for the tv but you tried to keep the topic on the inverter whence I got angry coz you were supposed to have called earlier so we discourse the inverter separately.

Thank you for clarifying me that I think so highly of myself. Same me that silently transacts millions of naira on nairaland every week without a third party hearing about it cause I choose to be anonymous?

But let me not join issues. There are only two points to be made.
1. My TV is a separate and done deal hence you are not supposed to use it as collateral for another deal
2. The inverter has to wait until you clarify the issues regarding cost. Asking me to just pay in something as advance is improper. Remember you are yet to call me for the inverter issue

Bookiemart01:
Chai.... I think you and Infinitikoncept have to reach a compromise cos truth is, he shipped by air and he has paid the company for that... Do you really want him to collect $55 from you because he said that's what it'll cost if shipped by sea shipping? I know Infinitikoncept to be cool headed if you truly told him he was saying nonsense all the times he called you, it wasn't fair
You should have tracked your item to know the details of the inverter (I guess this is a lesson for next time)


Oga Infinitikoncept.... Please you and 44chux should reach a compromise.... 90kg dey high ooo

Infinitikoncept:
My last call to you was the one you got last. If I mistakenly call you on the inverter issue make breeze blow my Nokia torchlight phone away. U think say I get that time & FYI its d last time I'm replying you. I've dropped the address for pick up to you so feel free to come over or send someone. Next week sunday we will know who will call the other on the inverter issue & by three weeks time we will see the person spewing nonsense

44chux:


Its not that I don't want to compromise. But infinitykoncept has refused to come out clear on what he will compromise other than stating that the inverter is 184lbs.

I will appreciate if you can help me clarify that part for me.

mavinc4u:


FIRST of all, I am sorry for my late response.

At first while I was reading 44chux complaint, I was like who the hell is that shipping agent but on seeing infinitikoncept's name, I developed cold feet like is not possible but I have to cover my face with a basket in order to tell him his mistake.

Oga infinity, you actually made a mistake by shipping the inverter via air even when you guys agreed to use sea. You also suggested to him that using air would be expensive but you ended up using air for him which you claimed that 44chux should have reminded you about the package been for sea. However, base on your conversations it shows that you used whatsapp as your means of communication as that you should have seen your previous chat with him to know what your last discussion was. Infinity, you also said you didn't know that the package belongs to 44chux, does it mean that the package arrived without a name because from the picture of the package you attached it shows that it has a name? The only place I blame 44chux was not reminding you that the package was for sea instead he assumed they you already knew base on your last statement and I quote **It came through**. However, whoever receives such statement will assume that what came through was the package in your previous conversation and 44chum simply replied **ok** without adding **hope you remember that is going via sea**. Just like everyone else has said, you guys should reach a compromise because you both contributed to the mistake. Infinity, before you give this your wonderful customer till Sunday, I want you to have a rethink because is not easy getting someone to patronize another. If there is anybody that will refuse to contribute anything then that should be 44chux. 44chux also consider the good times you had with infinity and how he has been assisting you and waiving some payment for you. Please you guys should reach a compromise and continue your business as usual. This my take oh, over to the bosses in the house. Thanks
