  And so the saga continues...
Posted by: crafters_corner - 28-12-2021, 09:09 AM - Forum: Trademe Discussion - Replies (13)

If you have read my other thread about the brilliant TM Chat service I received, well, sadly, the saga continues.

I thought it was a completed situation. The red faces were removed by TM, I blacklisted them, but no....

I got an email this morning from Trade Me Disputes, that says that this buyer didn't receive one of their items. "Dispute Reason: the goods or service were not supplied".

This person absolutely and categorically received all of their items. I would NEVER EVER not give them all of their items. Doing something like that is beyond my thinking.

So, I guess that I am dealing with a nasty and vindictive piece of work.

Because I had already been dealing with one of the TM Chat reps, I have emailed her to ask her if she can help me with part 2 of my buyers complaints. The email today from the disputes team asked me to make contact with the buyer and to sort out this issue with them. Obviously?? they don't know about the original issue.

Something like this has never happened to me before. I am feeling between upset and bloody angry.

Watch this space... Angry

  Wedding etiquette, what shall we do?
Posted by: TinkandTiff - 27-12-2021, 04:52 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (18)

I need advice. Last Xmas we were told to keep a certain date free for a family wedding. This person is our nephew (my husbands side). So we did. Formal invites were duly received and rsvp'd to.  Fast forward to now. My son has come down from Auckland with his partner for Xmas and booked leave to allow them to go to their first cousins wedding. My daughter and her partner have booked time off work. We all received individual invites.    4 weeks ago, we all get a text saying we are now uninvited. Due to the Covid situation, so they do not have to show vaccine passports the numbers have been drastically cut. It would seem the brides mother and sister are anti vaxxers and neither are vaccinated. The wedding is to be held at my elderly mother in laws house - in garden. With the reception at a local venue. So, we are now not going. Do we still buy them a present????? I just want to add, we are extremely hurt by this. Our kids grew up with their cousins. We literally live a few streets away. My sil is officiating the wedding. M husband is going to set up a live steam camera in the garden for them. Then coming home. Thoughts please?

  Tamaki at it again
Posted by: Oldfellah - 27-12-2021, 03:53 PM - Forum: Covid-19 - Replies (17)

Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki is under investigation after he allegedly threatened to have future mobile vaccination clinics blown up to prevent children getting their Covid-19 jab at schools.
"I'll stand down there and I'll take that school apart. If you go in there with your wagon, I'll tow your wagon away and I'll get the boys to blow it up and all your syringes, we'll run you out of town."

Investigators are assessing the information provided to them to establish whether Tamaki will face criminal charges.

Do you think he should?

Thumbs Down Lowlifes Living Amongst Us.

The sheer lack of any moral fibre, is still astonishing to me. It's difficult for most of us to fathom this sort of behaviour, but they do live amongst us.

  Cant we just say NO!
Posted by: Oldfellah - 27-12-2021, 11:51 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (21)

A Rebels gang member who has lived in Australia since he was 4 years old will be deported to New Zealand over “significant” fears he will reoffend.
It comes despite the fact all his family, including his partner and young son, live in New South Wales.

Cant the government just tell the Aussies to stick it we dont want them , or is it not in the kindness manifesto?

SIL made it. I could ask her, no problem, but I'm interested to know if any of you have used it, and how.
