I just came here to kepoh and share my thoughts on this.

1) I think the person that initiates this thread feels unhappy because he feels cheated with the "safe trader" tag that Silverfire bears.

2) Buyer should (at all cost) check whether delivered products are in good condition. Not just because a person bears a "safe trader" tag therefore everything would go on smoothly. What if the courier failed to take good care of the delivered goods and the item is damaged from the delivery process? Buyer will never find out unless he/she checks and inspects thoroughly and then cross check with the seller again.

It is like we ordered something from Ikea. And when they deliver the furniture to our house, we make sure the condition is new and good. We do not neglect the inspection part just because Ikea is reputable etc.

3) To claim that it is seller's responsibility for an item that was delivered almost 2 months ago and was accepted by buyer in the first place, is void. Things don't work like that, at least I think not.

Like the example that I gave about the Ikea delivery, we don't go about to Ikea and demand for a new furniture if suddenly we see a scratch on the furniture. Who caused it is arguable.

That's all I've got to say.

I didn't say I won't argue with Ikea if the furniture had a scratch. I said, if the furniture had a scratch AFTER 2 month, I would not complain because it doesn't make sense (because they could argue that I caused the damage, duh?). I believe that T&C applies. And I can't accuse seller of lepas tangan can I?

And obviously I WOULD argue with Ikea if the furniture I ordered was delivered in bad condition. I will hold Ikea responsible because I have a proof that I haven't used it yet, and when it was delivered, it was already in bad state. Ikea can argue it was delivery etc, but I will of course argue my way out with Ikea because I have the right because I have done my responsibility in checking and making sure everything's all right.

And I wasn't implying or saying that your case is caused by courier services ok? I was stating the importance of checking first-hand and immediately when item arrived. I was giving an analogy. I wasn't saying that courier was at fault, please be clear.

And, no need to accuse me of accusing you as a cheapskate. None of my words nor sentences that I've written as comment here in any way has been implying that you are a cheapskate isn't it? So please, watch your words.

he's not around. i think he did mentioned (in one of the replies) that he will only be back by 20th or something...

In that case.. I've mistaken I guess. But im pretty sure silverfire is nt around in malaysia at the moment, not that he is ignoring messages.
