What is a reasonable time to allow myself to be refunded by a TD
- Thread starter torian2595
- Start date
Yes, that happens usually when the factory they buy from has no stock, so don't worry !!
This all sounds perfectly correct so far, and we all realise that it can be an anxious time for some folks, especially if they haven't come across this scenario before.
100% make more sense to choose another watch.Yes it is
Think of it like this, the business has to refund you, they communicate with you, then they process the refund, communication will now stop, because they have actually lost money on this transaction, time is money, they will be dealing with many folks in a day purchasing, which does earn money.
That's why radio silence now. If refund hasn't arrived inside a month I would be sending a reminder, but, ....
Me personally, I never ask for a refund, I would choose another watch to same value if a stock issue, I find that gets processed a whole lot quicker, also sometimes you lose money on a refund, because some refunds will get currency charges as well, depending on payment method, IDK about Wise 'cos I don't use it
HTH
Fair point. I would be raising a ticket and getting MODS to have a word the TD will answer them
If you have already agreed a refund, then sending messages to change your mind will now be seen as a nuisance, especially as a refund is most likely already in motion.
This will be seen as a PITA, you honestly won't be doing yourself any favors. The general consensus here is a week or 2 for a Wise payment, so my advice is leave the TD alone and be patient.
Now, on the other hand, if the refund isn't with you in the 2 weeks then fair play, open the HDT.

look at it from 2 angles.
Yes, you're within your rights to be a little worried since you're dealing with not only fake watch sellersm but also.. the CHINESE>
Shit service is normal because they DO NOT CARE. It's easy to give them money and they get it in an instant... GETTING money back?
Whole different story.
the other angle is that people here are accustomed to waiting and waiting and waiting even if at times it's ridiculous.
But they aren't too worried because the forum is a money maker for these TDs . They charge QUITE a bit more for their watches through advertising in the forum and the forum does hold them accountable. The admins here don't play games protecting YOU the buyer.
So these chinese people aren't stupid enough to lose RWI as their golden goose.
It's like this..... your refund is not their priority....... they'll do it when they want as long as they don't get in trouble with RWI admins.
It doesn't take a week for bank to bank transfers unless there's a problem or it's done during the weekend.
But I'd still give it a week TOPS after the refund is initiated.

However me having a bit more patience, I would leave it for a couple of weeks, then I'd be yelling and lighting the fuse !!
I don't burn bridges unless it's warranted, which, after 3 feckin' days it certainly isn't, I might want a specific piece one day and this TD is the only one who has it
It is in fact over a weekend, and the clocks go back

Exactly ....
The idea being the person waiting for the refund has been more than patient.
What we are effectively doing is dishing out plenty of rope, then when we start raising disputes, sending "the boys in", burning them at the stake etc we can claim that we are patient and have been more than reasonable
It is a method I have used for 44 years now, and very effective !!
I don't imagine any RWI TD will make you wait that long, but sometimes things can go wrong
Help Desk will be far more diplomatic than I would after 2 weeks, so obviously, if I were in OP's shoes I'd raise the ticket when 2 weeks has expired from the date they say it was processed

How do we define ‘date it was processed’? Is this the day I (client) and TD agreed to just do a refund?Exactly ....

In any case yes willing to wait 2 weeks. Halfway there already (assuming refund processing date = day we agreed to do refund)
Thank you for your helpful inputs
Damn.If it's a TD you'll get your money back. Just politely nudge them.
Unless your TD is Hont

If you used Hont 3 weeks to a month is not uncommon with him. He's notoriously slow lol
