payment upfront!!!!!!

[solarman216]

Sorry to say folks, from now on (unless I know you are OK) it will be payment before I dispatch, due to a none payer on here, saddens me that some can be like this, Rick

[don simon]

Seems fair enough to me (on your part). I wouldn't expect you to send anything without having received payment first either.
Top tip: Don't accept payment with Paypal gift. You'll have no recourse if it goes pearshaped.
Sorry to hear there is a sour deal there rick.

[Madmark]

Sorry to here that rick and would seem your too trusting. I'm afraid I trust no one with money to many ready to take it from you its a shame but how the world is unfortunately payment first then I hand over what's been paid for. I'm always willing to help people and I prefer favours. I scratch your back you scratch mine lol

Dont get to deflated about it rick we know your a top bloke and payment before receiving wont change that fella

[jims-terrano]

Sorry to hear you've been wronged there Rick, got to say I'd expect to pay upfront.
As others have said I don't trust anyone, that's why I don't sell through eBay even though I'd love to sell stuff.

[solarman216]

thanks for that madmark, it is very upsetting when this happens especially when I have sent numerous PM,s and he has been on line since so will have seen them and not replied, Rick

[terrano bob]

who ever you are pay rick he's being a gentleman by not naming

[makeitfit]

Rick you're a star mate and I thankyou for sending me stuff I'd forgotten I'd even agreed to buy. Your recent packaging was outstanding too
PM admin and let them have word .

[Blocky10]

All the above Rick.
Just now searched glow plug relay and found someone wanting one from you a while back. Obviously it could be someone else so let's not start assuming or throwing angry messages around without a name.
It's well out of order not to pay your dues. Once bitten and all that Rick.

It's not just the value of something but we all know how difficult some jobs are to do and Rick had to find time to do it to be able to post it out.

None paying customers has always been a worry for me since becoming self employed, but I have been fortunate enough so far & they always pay.

[Fez_uk]

I will only send something to someone before payment who I have met in person and a low value item under 20 pounds or so.

But that rarely happens as most are keen to pay before.

The bigger the company owing the money, the longer you wait in my opinion.

For example, a company I worked for, had a simple policy...
they had three trays.
After 30 days, you ring them.... Oh we'll look into that, it looks as though it is on the next payment run....
Invoice moves to tray 2.
30 days later you ring them sorry for the delay, there was a problem setting up for your account... it moves to Tray 3 and payment is made on the next cheque run.
No second phone call it sits in tray 2.
Tray 2 was the biggest of all the trays lol....

[briggie]

there could of course be a quite innocent reason why the person hasn't paid , but surely a message would have been sent to explain why ? ...... rick is almost family to me , and it upsets me that someone within our midst does this .

Thanks for the feedback and support folks, yes it hurts when you get treated badly, and I do give a lot of trust, I like to think that in general people are trustworthy, I have been self employed 37 years and had very little in the way of non payment, £800 was the biggest from a small company that I did a lot of very lucrative work for but the head of the company suffered dementia and wife cold not cope so could not pursue the debt, sadly I will now go with the flow and only now dispatch after payment, it goes without saying that if the goods are not up to required standard or are wrong then they can be returned for a full refund, excluding P & P, I think that is fair, Rick

You cant be fairer than that. I don't know rick personally but seen how others respect you and been a top member on this club so dont get to down and thankfully sounds as tho the part in question wasn't gonna brake the bank but that you now know payment first will stop the agro happening again

I think enough been said hopefully guy in question has read this thread and does the right thing and that's the end of it. Keep up the good work rick as your a valuable member

Its not only the value of the item and PP.Its also the time Rick has gone to,helping this member.
