wrongly boxed items sent

[poms_down_under]

I have tried to purchase a mini bench drill from 3 different sellers now , and when it arrives it a mini bench sander !  The box clearly states its a drill but its not inside. The sellers try's there hardest to get you to keep it offering a $10 refund , item cost $75, So you get it for $65. but the sander only cost $52, Not  so daft these sellers hey ! has any one else had these issues with wrongly boxed items ?

Most people would open and follow through with item not as described disputes 

And check who they are buying from before paying

People who buy from dodgy sellers (and keep doing so) and who play with dodgy sellers instead of opening disputes are the daft ones

These are Australian Sellers with high feedback, all these items wrongly boxed have come direct from china, to Australian warehouses these are not checked by the seller, just sent to buyers, i have lodged a return, but sellers drag it out and hope you take the $10 refund

How do you know they are Australian sellers? Is it because it says AU seller in the picture? Is it because it says AU stock in the title? Is it because in the listing it says it's located in Sydney? Click on the seller's feedback and see where they are REGISTERED. That will give you a much better idea of where they are.

Why did you initiate a return and not open an item not as described dispute? Initiating a return means you have to pay return tracked postage (probably to China), and there is no guarantee of a refund. See if you can open an item not as described dispute. If you can't, then take the $10 and resell the sanders.

Plus, as already mentioned, stop buying from dodgy sellers. It's obvious that you've bought from the same seller, just under multiple different accounts.

I initiated a return  wrong item sent, seller has until the 10/10 to send return post label" return address is in  Sydney

Does not mean the seller is registered in Australia either

Or that their feedback is remotely decent 

The return address could be bogus

Or a 'warehouse' for an overseas seller which is not set up to receive returns 

(search the forum for posts from buyers who had the same outcome when they did'nt want to open the correct dispute) re 'return addresses' 

But you seem happy enough to trust a seller (s) who has already sent the wrong thing three times, so no point people wasting their time

I have sent 2 back already, (different sellers ) and had full refunds, this is the 3rd one that's wrongly boxed or labeled wrong,

Ah,  can you see a trend here,  yes it is a seller issue,  but a buyer who keeps buying the same thing knowing it will most likely be wrong,  well I dare not comment further

All the seller accounts, selling at  $75  and  $100 post, seem to be related and are all registered in China.

The price of the sander unit, varies from  $52  to  $65  depending on the size of the motor, with  $100 post.

Looks like a packaging issue, with the drill units now showing as out of stock, but the  sander units still available.

I have ordered one more and asked seller, before i purchased" is it a drill in the box and the reply was yes as advertised, well i will have to wait and see i suppose
