eglobal Central Odyssey

This is my story with the online store eglobalcentral.

In short:

Got the camera quickly on the 19th of August 2017. Took it with me on holidays and the display ceased working.

Back home, odyssey started:

  • On 26 of September 2016 I claimed the camera malfunctioning.
  • Two days later the first verification was through and I should send the camera in.
  • On 14th of October the Camera arrived in England.
  • Then came a long pause with some follow-up questions from me.
  • No valueable responses until I used the phrase “I’ll sue you” on 14th of Feburary 2017! That’s exact four months later!!!
  • But now the response is to refund me 461 EUR (later 488 EUR and how the heck do they calculate this?!) to my account at eblobalcentral to shop again at their site.
  • At last gave in for an refund of 500 EUR to my PayPal Account.
  • Until now I only have got a store refund and not a refund to PayPal.
  • Stay tuned…

Here is the full conversation (in reverse order, so start at the bottom!)

next option. I can agree with another compensation:
You sent the camera on the 17th of August 2017 to me, lets say I received it two days later (a rather optimistic estimation) on the 19th of August 2017.
My reclamation of the product not working was sent on 26th of September 2017. Thats 38 Days later.
You claim you are taking 8% per month to calculate the market value.

8% of 669 EUR (to take the selling price into value) are 53.52 EUR.
38 Days are an equivalent of 1.26 Months.
Thats equal to 67.80 EUR
So give me back a rounded 600 EUR to my bank account and not as a voucher to your store.

[Account information removed]
I HAVE BEEN USING THE DAMN THING FOR ONLY 38 DAYS AND SINCE THEN YOU DON’T HAVE YOUR PROCESSES IN ORDER SO DON’T BLAME IT ON ME!

So please, please have the courtesy to accept this offer and move a littlebit. Elsewhen we really have to hand it over to the lawyers.

Kind regards,
Tobias Rödel

Hi,

as far as I understand the warranty police, this is not your only option. Before the section you are montioning you write about replacement of products for which a repair is not economic. I don’t believe that a camera with a malfunctioning display is not repairable. Another X-T1 in silver is listet in your shop, so you have one available. So send it to me. I don’t mind another color.

Thanks for your understanding und kind regards,

Tobias Rödel

Hey,

Thanks for your reply.
How about you refund the full 669 EUR to my bank account
[Account information removed]
And we can forget the long time without replys and without camera and you are of course still in warranty time and try to steal some money from me. And if you refund my money immediately (speaking: the money is on my account by the end of February) we don’t have to part with lawyers on each side. Consider this the last reminder.

Kind regards,

Tobias Rödel
