I ordered badger shave knots back in March, I've not gotten them yet.
Anyone having problems?

I try not to buy things that are shipped from Chino,
it always seems to take longer than normal.
And you never know what you are going to get

I ordered a set of DVDs without noticing that they came from China. Received them several days before the first "expected delivery" date.

Some things like fine dishes, and badger knots have been made in China for many years.

You won't.

EBay has done this to me also.

There's also a very specific window where you can reclaim your money from the purchase. These Chinese vendors know that and will string you out until one day past.

They have gotten me twice. They will not get me again.

On a side note, I needed some replacement tire plugs. Walmart options... One was an American-made Tire plug bulk pack that arrived in 3 days.

The other was one of those super cheap tire plug kits. The reamer, the insert and 10 plugs plus a tube of cheap cement. I think it was under $2 from Walmart. It Direct ship from China and took three weeks to get here. Walmart backed the purchase so if I had had a problem I still had an avenue of complaint and refund... unlike eBay.

The Golden Nib is where you need to be buying, if you are going to use them for actually shaving. Their Finest grade is excellent.

The only real option you have is to make another purchase from the same Chinese vendor. And then light them up like the Fourth of July or negative feedback. They may try to negotiate I change to the feedback by sending you both orders. But I would not count on it.

China sucks. EBay sucks. Cheap junk from China direct shipped through eBay really really sucks

I was patient or to long, past the ebay date. The seller said he refunded half back, I have not readthe card statement.

I would be very interested to find out if they actually did refund part of your money. They told me over and over they had refunded mine and it was a computer glitch or the US government was holding it or some Nigerian prince. Those Chinese SOB's are masterful liars.

I hate Chinese crap, but it is so damn hard to find American-made goods anymore.

That's another thing those Chino sellers do,is offer to give 40% credit.
I have had a couple bad experiences and said hell no 100%

Contact them to say that you have not gotten your item. At least that way you are on record.

I ordered some transistors back in March about the time things shut down. They finally came in July. Only place I could find that specific part.

You can filter out Chinese sellers, but they still get in there. Usually a high number of sales and somewhere in the complaint section will be someone saying they’re a Chinese company.

I have had literally several dozens of successful Ebay transaction from international sellers, including China. Only issue ever had was a Canadian. With the fentanyl, weird seeds and chit of late, I'd expect longer delays. Some crap is just made in China, buying direct can be worth the wait. I do carefully check a seller before transacting. !00% or damned close feedback or I pass. If someone is selling a tool, but also a bunch of chitty junk, I pass. Some chit is easy. But March? You've been had.

Wabigoon,

I didn't know that you raised badgers?
That takes some guts!

I would file a complaint as soon as possible. As othwes mentioned you need to get it on record. Then give it 2 weeks and ask for a refund.

No. I have no need for badger cocks.

I would think you can find a us seller for the same money if you look a lil bit ????
