Hello Bitmain,
At no point over the week the itme was held in china did UPS try and contact me via email, telephone or by regular letter mail.
At no point when placing the order was i given the oppertunity to offer a VAT number, nor was i asked for it.
It took 5 days to get a tracking number at which point it was discovered the package was held.
I was told by sushi a refund would be issued. communication was none existant apart from when i contacted him.
A little communication on the matter would be nice......
In regards to the terms you have now posted in your sales thread, these were not written at the time i purchased, if they were i would not have purchased. At no point was i told my 33btc may turn into 21btc if a delay occured, again if i was i would not have ordered.
yesterday you said i would get a refund in 6 hours, so what has changed today?
EDIT: I payed the order in Bitcoin, at no point was $$$ value mentioned. You take bitcoin, sushi took payment in bitcoin.
At the point of taking my details for order i asked sushi several times to send me the google form, in the end i asked if he had my delivery details and he said yes same as before and used them. At no point was an opportunity to give a VAT number given, which resulted in a hold at export, it took 4-5 days to get a tracking number and find out the order was on hold. AT NO POINT HAVE UPS CONTACTED ME OR TRIED TO CONTACT ME.
I just got the tracking number last Friday/Saturday at which point i have never been told to contact UPS, i have been told your side will deal with it.
The only time i get communication on the matter is when i approach your side.
Communication has been the downfall on all parts of this order and has caused all the delays.
