Hello,

Created this thread to share my side of the story regarding this thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/6968649/customer-blocked-me-after-making

On Wednesday last week, I contacted Xcelinteriors cos I wanted to buy wallpaper and carpet. We agreed on N90k as the amount for the items (excluding waybill). I had every intention of paying for these items as I requested for her to drop her acc number for me to make payment more than once (u can see that from our chats) but she suggested she would first go to the park to confirm how the waybill would cost so I send everything including the money for waybill at once.

She told me she would leave her office to the park when she closes for the day and when she gets there I would talk with the park ppl to negotiate for the waybill and send the full money including the waybill to her.

After our last conversation, something came up on my end so with remorse, chatted her up to let her know she should not bother going to the park anymore as I won't be able to pay for the items any more.

I 100% had no idea she had already gone to the park (according to her) cos we talked on video around few minutes to 3pm.

Around 4:41pm, I messaged her that she should not bother going to the park again and something came up on my end so I won't be able to pay for the items again (as at when I sent this message, she did not tell me she had closed for the day already and was going to the park to waybill the items).

StarchAndBanga:


What did I make her loose please?

The items were not waybilled, the items are still with her.

I agree I fvcked up as I am yet to buy and I wasted her time and also stressed her out, but that was never my intention. If u read through everything I posted u would see my intention towards how it all went down.

This is very different from ur case

You've not done well at all. If only you know the stress of traveling from Iyana-ipaja to Jibowu nii,.....you won't be here giving unnecessary excuses.

You fall my hands.

edoairways:

In this case it is different. Her service is pay on delivery. She was not wise enough to charge him before delivery knowing fully well how some Nigerians behave

Kingcalls:


Oh my goodness ..how did u 4k up?? Dont allow these women and simps to manipulate u ... people cancel order in the last minute... infact people cancel orders at domino's pizza after its been packaged .... its part of the business ....u did nothing wrong.....u committed no crime , if she dint read ur message, its her fault and not urs ...

Annie001:


And this act should be encouraged?
Does this even make sense to you?
Rubbish!
So you will make order in domino without making payment?
Jokes on you

Kingcalls:


I'm sure he blocked her after she started throwing insults , thats their way.... everyone has the right to cancel order.... anywhere in the world... its part of the business ... if she wanted money for first b4 delivery, she should have mention it ...if he says no ,then she makes the decision of sending to make her gain or forget the business ... people cancel huge deals and contracts in the last minute and heaven no fall...its part of business... u cant force a customer to buy ur goods when he or she has decided to cancel order , even if its the last minute

Victoronah1:
even if she has gone to the park it means nothing. Anything can happen. Companies pull off from deals at the last minute. You owe no one apologies for pulling off anytime you want, as long as you don't scam anyone. Business is all about ups and down, sometimes we loose, sometimes we win. Can they swear they have never made a customer miss her product due to delay at their end. Everyone should learn how to do business.


Now coming back to you Op, I read her part of the story, and you did a very wicked act buy allowing her to cut the materials and then not buying it. Who on earth will she sell it to. You knew someone else was buying, why didn't you wait till you get the money.what you did was wicked. I hope someone else does that to you.

Ftheophilous:
Well I guess the main question now is "why did you block her after everything?"

dauntless15:
Aside making her sit through traffic to the park, what about the linoleum she won't be able to sell because you made her cut it, life is hard already, you shouldn't cause another person pain by selfishly thinking of yourself whenever you act, it's unfair.

StarchAndBanga:


My intentions..

I never said what I did was right or I went about it the right away.

I know I am being pedantic here, but the correct word is "shipped" not "waybilled". There is no such word as "waybilled". A Waybill is a list of passengers or goods being carried on a vehicle.

TINO123:
If she sit on traffic that's part of business all business must not go successful ask jumia what they are facing. Those dayz when I dey do jumia I go sit for traffic spent my transport and take my market to Adeniyi Jones. End of the day jumia will return the items and am to spend another money with stress to go and pick it up. For the fact that she is with her Materials. Don't so much blame the buyer. If I tell you how much of my Goods that lost for jumia hand will be shouting. Business is not 100 percent. What if the buyer tried to do transfer and network did not go through, wount she take the material back. Most of here that is commenting rubbish I don't think you have done business before. You loose you gain that's business. When you gain nobody will hear your noise, when it seems you loose little transport nobody will hear word. For blocking you is the right thing the guy suppose do cos I know you will be raining insult on the guy that is straight forward.

Xilsbridalhouse:

One would think you are being sensible only to realize you have something against the female gender reason for your bias judgement.

He blocked her! She didn’t insult him and he didn’t mention she did!

StarchAndBanga:
According to Xcelinteriors she was in traffic for close to 3 hours but I talked with her on video around 14:58, then told her I wasn't buying again when she had already gotten to the park.

Just so u know, during the video call she made no mention of going to the park at that very moment. She only reiterated what she said earlier (which was that she would leave her shop to the park when she has closed for the day). Why u come block her!!??


The time between when we talked on video and when I told her I wasn't buying again was just over one hour, how come she spent close to there hours in traffic and why did she not let me know she was going to the park.

I already agree I fvcked up by pulling out last minute but the picture she is trying to paint with her thread is really not how it went down..

FILEBE:


You see why people like to do Pay before delivery? Had it been he has paid before Ben delivered, the story would have changed . Even if he cancelled after payment.

Why did hr block her is the question here. Why? If that isn't wickedness

Whynotthetruth:


This reminds me of something sef...

Seun,
Find means with the mods to regulate all these online beggars on Nairaland here. One of them showed me pepper sometime ago. He was begging on a thread here and I mentioned him elsewhere and offered to help him start something instead of sending him stipend to food...

He accepted and I gave him my WhatsApp contact. He chatted me up and I linked up with someone advertising and selling okirika in this platform too. Since the guy accepted to sell such clothes...and turnover till he's able to stand on his own and send back the capital to me and continue with his own money(profit)...

I paid the Lagos dealer to send items worth over 100k ( can't remember exact amount now) and the items were warebilled to Akwaibom state...and then to Calabar.

This Nairaland beggar got delivery of the items. He said the materials sent weren't first grade. I asked him to repackage so that we send back to the Lagos contact but he declined and suggested he will try and market it that way...

That was the end... This guy ate the goods and everything...I know poverty will be eating him up wherever he is now for taking advantage of my goodwill to dupe me... Notwithstanding, I had plans of allowing him have that seed capital whenever he returns it...which is reason why I didn't border looking for him immediately I found out his real intent was to dupe people...He may have created so many monikers since then to steal from others too...

Moderate the beggars etc...Verify them to reduce such incidence. Thanks
