richysam:Its like you think am just one jobless guy who sat to type what am typing right. That was how i banked on his past integrity and this is where it landed me. If hitches occur he or his customer agent will not pick ur calls. To be forewarned is to be fore armed. I remember chatting tugrow up when I still thought his logistics company had some intergrity left, in less than 5 minutes i got responce through his whatsapp. But as yawa don gas now for tugrow to refund me now he is refering to a customer agent who does not give any feed back. She the customer agent on the other hand will tell you her oga has been busy. 3000 is small but until you refund my money i will keep calling you out on any platform i can find. Fraud. |

tugrow:Maybe you are not listening, your customer agent collected my details three days back without any feedback what so ever from her. I do all the calls all the time. I called you up because she was of no help at all. I sent her my details and yet nothing like a feed back. Like i said all i need is a refund. |

tugrow:I hope you do because what you portray online is quiet different from the experience i got both from you and your customer care agent. After reading up stuffs online about import business i decided to use your logistics company. I read through your page registered because some of colleagues needed stuff from china. I placed an order but saw a notice that said a minimum of 3000 should be paid as a show of commitment to ones order. I paid the sum of 3000 into a first bank account named ABRAHAM SAMUEL GODWIN on the 8th of december 2018. After that i awaited responce from your team based on my order but non came. When I chatted Eunice about it on whatsapp she told me the goods would get to Nigeria next year and i explained that the goods are actually meant for the Christmas celebration that she should cancel the order let me get a refund. I chatted you up and even called you to explain and you said i should send my account details which i did. At a point you refused picking my calls. All Eunice kept saying was she was gonna get back to me which usually doesn't. All I want is the refund of my money. |
