I know I'm relatively new on here so If I'm insulting you or your friend sorry, but he's pissed me right off.
About six weeks ago I ordered some carbon frame protectors from BHH in Singapore.
I received an email a week before due delivery from a guy called Aizan telling me they may have sent me the wrong items. I replied telling this guy I'd pay the customs charge of £23, get the parcel and check it.
Low and behold it's a set of rather smart carbon heel guards, so I email BHH and tell them, they then ask me If I could forward the package on, no problems I say and add can you please forward my email address onto the guy (David or George as he seems to use both names)
BHH replied yes not a problem.
My own items arrive a week or so later with more customs charges £23, which I have to pay to get my items.
A week goes by and no email and I'm off on my hols, I return form an enjoyable time on my Tenere with the wifey in tow, open my inbox to an email, here is a copy and paste

This guy Pete is not going to answer, he's obviously decided to keep his free gift for himself at my expense.
What are you going to do about it?
I don't know about you lot but this sent me into a bit of a paddy, I'm not a fighting man but could have had a good ol' scuffle on the floor with this guy.
My response to him and BHH another copy and paste.
Quite obviously you've assumed I'm a thieving toe rag.
So thanks for the compliment!
Quite obviously it's not occurred to you that despite you thinking you're the centre of my universe you're not.
Quite obviously I've been on my holidays (on my motorbike) without my mobile phone as I'd genuinely forgot it.
Quite obviously I don't expect you to believe that and quite obviously I don't really care.
What has now become a priority for me is the £23 you owe me for your parcel which has been sat in my office for the past eight days addressed and ready to go. By the way I'm not trying to fleece you, it's the customs charges which I paid for knowing I'd been sent the wrong parcel as I was trying to help you out.
PayPal or bank transfer will do nicely.
Unkind regards,
Two bit thieving scumbag.
When I'm pissed with some-one I tend to get a little sarky.
I didn't get a response to this from Dave or George or whatever he's called but did from BHH asking me politely If I would still mail the package on? I responded with I'll send his package on when I get my £23 , we will refund your money and cover the cost of postage said Aizan at BHH.
Okay I thought, I'll just post it on. I informed BHH I couldn't do it until Friday past due to work commitments.
In the meantime I'm getting emails about this package from BHH pestering me about when it will be delivered, I respond with "If this continues I'll send the package back to you in Singapore and fook the cost.
So the package was posted at the tail end of last week, In the meantime I've had my email hacked so now I have no DHL number for proof of payment to customs which BHH are demanding to see before I can have any money back, and today I've been back into work going through the waste paper recycling bin in my office when I at least find the receipt from Royal Mail.
Turns out it was delivered today,
It seems that you can do someone a good deed then get kicked in the teeth and then when you try to compromise or make amends for something which isn't really your fault in the first place they then cut your balls off with rusty pliers.
Yup, no email has been forthcoming saying, hey fella I'm sorry for my initial email it was a bit strong or even thanks for forwarding on my item to me and don't worry I'll send you the £23 plus postage, nothing, nada and zip. It's all gone quiet.
So now with my own customs charges and trips to the post office etc I'm £51 worse off.
With me demanding money it's gone quiet, perhaps Dave you're too busy fitting your shiny new "cheap" carbon heel guards?
Your thoughts please.....
