Hi everyone, sorry to open another post on bluectriscal but this has to be said.
I sent Imer £310 in November of last year for two adult female zebras. It was made VERY (capitals as it was said three times) clear that I could only collect the fish from Newcastle as I don't drive. He it was fine and that it was too cold to deliver currently (a fair point). So we waited and waited with large periods of no contact. It eventually got to June of this year when he said he could send the fish. So we had this email from him:
Hello Adam,
I send in the week for fish to Newcaster on 5-6-2006, I find your address no more.
Pls, write me your adres and how much you wanted to have.
Best Regards
Oezay Imer
Things were looking up, or so we thought. We then had this email:
Hi Adam,
Can I send the fish early to you? to 27.05.2006 or
03.06.2006

Imer
Followed by this:
pls write me your phone and mobile number, because of confirmation.
And finally:
Hello Adam,
I deliver to you on Saturday. I have a problem for a buyer in Newcastle,can you help me?He has bought a fish of me, I may deliver the fish and he collects it from you or you can take the fish there.
Best Regards
Imer
Now there wasn't a problem, (I even said I would collect the other persons fish) until Saturday came and after numerous emails from me I hadn't heard anything. And thus no fish were sent/collected. I got a phone call a few days later saying that he can't deliver to Newcastle airport and that could we go to Edinburgh (190 miles away). I told his son (I was speaking to him as Imer can't speak English) this was not possible as it wouldn't be worth it to travel all that way. So the phone call ended with Imer trying to find another way. Days passed with nothing happening and no contact, until a few days later when I got a phone call from Edinburgh airport saying my fish were arriving in the next half hour and was I ok to pick them up. Of Course I wasn't. I asked if there was any phone number that I could contact Imer on, but the guy at the airport said that mine was the only number he had.
All through this period I had sent emails to Imer with no responses, until a few days later a guy called Neil rang me (apparently he is a member here) offering to drive me all over Scotland to collect the fish and drop me off in Carlisle/Stirling. I had never heard of Neil before, apparently Imer had asked him to do it for him, which I think was very unfair as Neil had nothing to do with it. However, I am very very grateful to Neil for offering, it was extremely generous of him. However, this still didn't solve the problem of the fish coming to Newcastle, that we had been very specific about to Imer in the first place. I have since asked for a refund from him, but I have heard nothing from him. Can anyone offer any advice on what I should do now?
