Milo the Second

I bought some bicycle handlebar grips on eBay.

A couple of weeks after installation, one of them popped along the seam.

I asked the Chinese seller if they could send me another one.

They said they preferred to just refund the money since the postage is really expensive.

I said surely the cost of the grips plus postage is less than the retail price they were going to refund me.

“dear friend,I’m really sorry for this situation,but our grip is in good condition when you receive it,right?
since this shipping fee is really high,please check if we can refund money to you as discount.
hear from you soon”

About there I gave up. Maybe they’ve figured out that it’s hurts our heads too much to deal with the Milo Minderbinders* of the world.
