[Willgoo] willgoo seems to have lost that trusted reseller tag

Changed to confirmed reseller. Finally. Shame it didn't change to untrusted reseller but at least now it's not inaccurate.

One thing I would like to hear is if anyone has experience of resellers who actually do provide support, even if it's just sending replacement parts out for free. I think the first one to do that will most likely get a lot of our money in the future and the others not so much, after all you only find out how good or bad a company is when things go wrong and they have to step up to the mark. Pretty sure replacement screens sent via China post wouldn't cost much (maybe even free from JXD or whoever supplies them consoles) so it would be a small outlay for a big reputation boost.

I think the whole trusted reseller thing wasn't really earned, they just have a company rep on here who is pretty active when new products are for sale, I would hope that no more of those accolades are handed out until a company shows they support their customers and back up their promises.

Maybe there should be a sticky somewhere on the site which explains the possible implications of buying from overseas and what sort of guarantees you are likely to have, along with a list of sellers who do and don't provide adequate customer support. It would be beneficial for new users as well as maybe coaxing some resellers to actually do something about shipping faulty products.

They are not demoted, it's just that we renamed the tag from trusted to confirmed. Trusted was wrong to begin with, as it implied that we trusted or had a preference over others.
This goes for all resellers on the board, including DinoDirect. The trusted reseller tag does not exist anymore for anyone.

ive had the experience that the customer support is pretty random on any china site. sometimes great, sometimes nonexistent.
always threated to open a paypal case or do so  before even contacting them, and always say the item didnt arrive (if there is no valid tracking id that is. otherwise try to wait until it runs out if you still stay under the paypal time limit).
even if your device arrived, in case of a defect it is much more likely to get your money back this way.

That's probably not a bad shout. I think with Paypal even if it is defective and they rule in your favour (almost a certainty) you have to pay for it to be shipped back so it would still be more economical for them to send the part to you, I guess if Chinese resellers want to play the game of ignoring customers there may be some justification to claiming "item not received" and getting a replacement. Not the most honest thing for a buyer to do but if that is the only reasonable solution. I for one would really prefer to not have to go down that route.

I think this was a good decision.
