You're probably lucky you didn't get it. Did you really want to risk injury when it collapses under you at speed. Really, $51 for a piece of junk to risk getting hurt. If you were a rock climber would you hang from a $2 rope from China?


The $95 Roadmaster I have now is fine for what I want - riding on the local raid trail. I have ridden it many miles, and it has yet to fall apart. Buying a $1,000 bike for the same purpose would have been ridiculous.

Depends how you define helpful. I refer you to being a Pollyanna. Shall I explain further?
And yes, Jerry is a very nice guy. We all have our flaws.

Don’t apologize, Jerry. He never learned that if you cannot say anything nice to just keep your mouth shut. Your posts are helpful and thought provoking.

This is a follow-up.

I realized I was probably taking a chance when I ordered a $51.00 bike from a company in China with an office in FL. The bike never arrived, but they sent a UPS tracking number indicating it was delivered. UPS confirmed the delivery - for a package from Amazon to a different person at a different address.

When I complained to PayPal, they used the UPS confirmation to deny my claim. Through the PayPal online forum, I learned that this is a common practice with this company - Coverou. I wrote a letter (actual paper) to PP explaining the situation, and I included the UPS tracking info, similar incidents mentioned on their forum, and all the other materials I had accumulated. I sent copies to UPS and my credit card bank.

After a couple of weeks, I received an email from PP saying they had re-opened my case. Then I got another email saying they were giving me a refund.

The amount of money wasn't huge, but I was glad to have it refunded. I'm sure it was PP that took the loss, not Coverou, but I'm glad the system worked the way it was supposed to work.
This is a follow-up. br br I realized I was proba... (show quote)


Yes it is and I got bitten 3 times earlier this year with the same excuses from them. I am considering legal action against them because credit card purchases are supposed to be insured....right? Apparently No Longer as China has shown it's true colors lately. Looking for a Law Firm & Joint Action Afiliation....message me.

Please don't do that jerry!! You have nothing to apologize for especially to this, sorry I am not allowed to say bad things on here anymore they don't like my honesty. You keep doing what you do. We should not even comment on him. Thanks and keep up the fine work and comments on here. Even when I don't agree with what you say I still appreciate your comments and enjoy them. Thanks again.

Tom

I suspect I have purchased a total of more than $51 from merchants located in China, mostly photo gear, but I have always have received what I paid for.

I keep swearing to put my comments to rest; but . . .

Chinese Camera Equipment: relatively inexpensive to ship, virtually no personal safety concerns when using, easily disposable,

Chinese Bicycle: none of the above
