No, not sure what to say.

I do want to clean and keep.

can you get replacement foam handles.

nicolamumof3 · 25/03/2009 21:24

omg dis i cannot believe it what a nutter to send something like that? at least she should have black bagged??? omg i would send her all the pics and see what she says i'd be wanting refund towards new handles i expect they would be pricey ring maclaren tomorrow to find out.

Disenchanted3 · 25/03/2009 21:27

she already said they were damaged in auction,

but if you look at pic they are much worse since beingn posted, but not sure paypal will recognise this because she already said they were damaged (but they are worse now)

how much would you ask for?

foam handles here

but apron missing too and mouldy seat.

how much would u ask for back??

carrielou2007 · 25/03/2009 21:28

Good grief, mouldy seats? Those handles are unbebelievable!!! I thought she said it was like new condition?? Mind you what do you expect for that price I supose?? Not even a bit of bubble wrap though and super strong rubble bags??

Disenchanted3 · 25/03/2009 21:31

but carrie im just LUCKY i paid that

from her description it was like new ... and i could have paid alot more happily from that discription

its only cause it was pick up only i got it cheap

asked to courrier after.

MrsMagooo · 25/03/2009 21:32

Pebbles you will love the Skate & the liner, the liner Lucy made me is just gorgeous on my Skate, so much more padded & cosy - really funked it up too

Sawyer glad you have been able to release the funds

SK pretty sure Argos won't have them in again as the colourway is discontinued, they've brought out a new red/black which has a red liner instead of grey.

Dis I would open dispute but be prepared that PP will ask you to retund for full refund (minus cost to send back I think) as generally that's what they ask you to do, not always but a majority of the time.

Sawyer64 · 25/03/2009 21:38

I'd give the seller the choice,let her know you are going to open a dispute unless she refunds you £** so that you can replace the handles and maybe even the seat covers.

I would imagine she wouldn't want the hassle,and may prefer to refund you some money.

I read on here a solution for getting mould off seatcovers,and it worked.......

Can anyone remember,or shall I search for it?

Sawyer64 · 25/03/2009 21:40

Shame, I recently sold my Double Maclaren and that really was in excellent condition.

A CM bought it,but only wanted a smaller twin to fit in her car,wasn't really bothered that it was in such good condition.

Disenchanted3 · 25/03/2009 21:42

how much should I ask for?

How should I word it?

I have listed the problems but how do I ask for the refund?

Sawyer64 · 25/03/2009 21:49

See here for http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=good_housekeeping&threadid=529760-can-i-get-rid-of-mould-on-a-ma claren-pushchair#10784082 DE-MOULDING

Maybe ask for the cost of the handles and P&P,and then round it up to cover cleaning materials,or seatcovers maybe?

Disenchanted3 · 25/03/2009 21:49

Hiya

I recieved the buggy today.

There a few things I'm a bit concerned about.

Firstly it wasn't packed up very well and all wheels and handles were poking out. I know from the auction that the foam handles had some scuffing and I accept that but because they were not covered at all they have been damaged alot during transit, the foam is very very ripped, sooo much more than on your photos. I have taken pictures of this.

Also the seats were mouldy, both of them, but one worse than the other. Again I have included photos of this.

The clip on the side of the buggy that holds it together is also bent.

Finally there is only one apron in with it, not 2 as stated in the auction. Im not doubting it was put in but because the pacaging was so poor I assume it fell out?

Obviously its a bit different to stated, the mouldy seats were not mentioned, nor the bent clip. Only 1 apron has arrived and the handles have been damaged in transit to a greater extent.

Obviously im a bit upset by this as it is not to the standard advertised,

i am going to have to pay to have it cleaned to remove mould and pay for replacement handles due to the extra damage because of poor packing.

I thought i would email you first and try and sort it out before involving paypal or ebay.

What do you think would be a good solution?

Thanks

*hows that?

Sawyer64 · 25/03/2009 21:50

Try again

Disenchanted3 · 25/03/2009 21:52

Ahhh thanks Sawyer

Sawyer64 · 25/03/2009 21:53

Sounds good to me.
If she is genuine,she'll want to make amends,if not,well, she'll deserve the action you'll take.

Sawyer64 · 25/03/2009 22:02

See here for replacement covers,though probably not bright enough colours for you Buggylovers!!!

nicolamumof3 · 25/03/2009 22:02

thats spot on dis, i'd want at least £30 back, depends on what maclaren quote for handles bet it will be more. you could have used it with the handles as they were but not like that. courier won't cover because of shoddy packaging im shocked they accepted it like that tbh?

i sold my maclaren twin which really was 'as new' for £75 or maybe it was £65? can't remember now, the lady was over the moon with it i remember packing that up took me ages (prob took her ages to unpack lol!)

nicolamumof3 · 25/03/2009 22:03

those covers aren't maclaren tho, they are mothercare

Disenchanted3 · 25/03/2009 22:05

could i use these??
