ClickSis:
I hate to do this but here is a screenshot of the SMS I sent to Roland in March after he gave me a defective steering rack.

Just as OP stated, he stopped answering my calls (with claims of travelling to the village and taking his child for an exam) but rather advised his boy to engage a Kazeem to fix the leak on the purchased item and I was to bear the cost. This was after he had earlier given me the wrong part which I had to return.

Who does that please?

Check my message once again, I've moved on but that money can't be beneficial to you.

I decided not to create a thread about my experience but dropped this message due to those against the OP.

Cheers

Roland what vile messages are you talking about.
Am clear about what I send to you thru SMS and thru this Nairaland platform and my point is simple if your act is a scam then you will not go unpunished. I don't need to tell anyone there is a God that Judges every act, HIS Court is greater than the highest court in the land and when HE declare a punishment it will certainly come to pass.
The deepest thoughts of every man are known to HIM (GOD) you can come to Nairaland and say what you choose to say. What I say or what you say does not matter to God....The actual truth is what God will place HIS judgement by and I simply submit to HIS judgment.
Safe yourself from the problem and do the needful or continue the bold face and face the music. Life is too short and precious for someone to engage in fights unnecessarily.
Once my car is fine I'll move on.

Sam, this transaction was started under an atmosphere of trust and harmony between us personally & not here and i committed myself to it wholeheartedly and still do and that much you know. Everything that needed to be done i did and still intend to do.
Your turn in manner of communication necessitated the posture i adopted and anytime you return to how we started, i will equally do the same and make sure you have a functional vehicle and gear.

Oga, return the Op money back, many where here before you came to narrate your own side of the business,
but I believe they must have disappointed in you.

Why did you collect his money at first when you know you don't have the gearbox the op requested from you and you decided to send him your own specification?

You are losing clients here and many clients are coming out to testify your bad business with them,
isn't good for a businessman because surely you will lose client here,

Call the Op and return his money, and op don't collect any gearbox from him..
my own contribution.

I'm just curious. Why have you not sent back the transmission since you said its useless and you have not driven the car ever since?

weyreypey:


No way. We dey here together bro... it's mayhem nigga...

SoadAutos:


Send to who? I thought i mentioned he stopped picking my calls or respond to my sms and the reason am complaining. Would I just send the gearbox to a park without a recipient?
Interesting.....but to simply answer your question, I left the car in my garage parked and ensured I or someone clean it everyother day. You don't understand the pain of buying a non functional device in this our current Nigeria (economy). Each day I have a need for an alternate vehicle I feel the pain more. Am calculative when taking decision.... why should I remove the gearbox or move the car about when there is no replacement. I count my cost when taking steps....if you're in automobile industry you will know that it is impossible to take out an engine without losing a sensor or the other....the gear box in question when it was to be installed I lost the ECT sensor which I had to replace and cost me money. If Mr Roland insist that I remove and send to him in Lagos I would not have a choice than to do that....at least I would know that's the price I must pay.
If the gear box was what it should be then I don't have a reason to lay a false allegation against Roland.
And mind you if you had followed the thread and my post you would have clearly seen my position from the start.
Am here not to tarnish Rolands image but to call him to do the needful and seek the support of good mind on this platform to also intervene.

nakoks:

Until he bites the dust i know you won't rest.You and i both know life doesn't begin and end on social media.

foolbuster:



I just asked because Luvinhubby said no refund unless product is returned. And he made it clear here that he does not refund or replace unless defective product is returned. Or did you not discuss the terms of another replacement when you both agreed product will be replaced?

I had expected that when your kazeem installed the defective gear box and it didn't work the next logical step would have been to take it out especially after you and luvinhubby agreed the product will be replaced. And also according to you the vehicle wasn't driveable. I know its labour intensive taking it out again but whats the point of the gear being there if it doesn't work.

I'm also curious as to how the car ended up in your garage since work on it is still on hold pending the arrival of the correct gearbox, or is it that it was worked on in your garage? Or did you just feel like spending towing money? Or perhaps you just gave up on the car.

Don't get me wrong Its obvious luvinhubby is at fault here and was just after your money. But unless you have decided to forego your money, just find a way to send back the defective product to him especially now he claimed he is back from wherever it is he said he went and is now communicating again. Thats exactly what i'll do since the gear is useless to me.

And to luvinhubby just an advice ooo, just save yourself further embarassment and find a way to take back the gear and return his money (or send the correct product if he still agrees)

lilkech:
Luvinhubby, you know deep within yourself that you’re bigger than this wahala.

You’re the person I’ve been buying my Honda parts from for years. Please don’t go the way of those who failed before you from this website.

This is the internet and from the narrative here you’re standing at the edge of a cliff. A little shove can send your brand tumbling into the mud.

Believe me, greater brands have been soiled for lesser reasons. I’ve been here and seen it all.

Please try to find a middle ground with the op ASAP. This particular publicity is a bad type for you no matter what way you’re looking at it.

The OP and the seller should agree if tranny is to be sent back and replaced or the money be refunded so as not to keep prolonging this matter.

I hope when transmission is sent back to the seller, he won’t say until he has free time (which may be up to a week) to go pick it up, he won’t refund or replace again.

This is why I dislike nairaland sales and disputes, too many illogical resolutions from posters that don't even relate to the situation. OP was supposed to have returned defective part as he realized it wasn't the requested spec but didn't(why will you go ahead and install something that you don't want), now return it and get a refund or replacement, OP said no, how is it productive to leave a non applicable part in your car for weeks and blame the seller, maybe it's just me but it doesn't make any sense imo. And then we are talking about a 2001 honda accord like it's a 2021 model, there's probably no new parts at this point in time and a lot of trial and error applies but fact remains this is 2020 what happened to doing videos of the part you want replaced and sending to seller and having him send same for your comparison and approval before actually making payment.
The fact that there's always the option of simply running online to open a thread takes away a large amount of logic in transactions here. Rather than doing due diligence you work on assumptions and then when it backfires you run online.

ksmart027:

Oga, the op said he has been trying to contact the seller, but the seller is not taking his calls. So how do you expect him to return the item he bought when the seller is avoiding his calls. Always read to comprehend.

Bombiday:


Boss that excuse is flimsy. I checked luvinhubby's profile and he has his shop address there, also OP says he has been able to reach him using other people's numbers, if he had that alternative strategy on hand in the first place just to make accusations, why not just take the part to the shop and use another number to call and inform him that he is at his shop and dropping the non usable part off to get a refund or a replacement. At least that way there's a next step, now it becomes "Lubinhubby has refused to refund me or provide a replacement" versus what is currently here which is half baked at best. Now drumming up sentiment talking about 'I don't want to embarrass him but to seek intervention' while at the same time not actually doing any real thing to come to a resolution except posting on a thread.

Kingdemu:
You must be a criminal to be vehemently supporting luvinhubby to the extent you are so comfortable with him displaying his criminal tendencies and not picking the OP's calls. You're even suggesting the OP use another line to be pursuing the criminal upandan. Well, if I were the OP the police would've long did that cos that is their job not mine.You see, It is your type that will be behind bars immediately they step into any just and sane society cos even your thought process is criminal. May you fall into OP's situation so you can be pursuing your rogue seller inter-state just to return a defective product you bought with your hard earned money out of trust. Useless man.
