Deceptive and combative
Following the recommendation of a forum user I ordered some parts to modify the power supply in my Mac Pro to accept a more modern graphics card. I had a direct link to the parts and went through the order process as normal. I was charged for airmail shipping but only after the order was placed and "shipped" was I made aware that there is no airmail shipping ("due to COVID") and that it could take three months. After four months had passed with no item I went through Paypal's dispute resolution process and ModDIY fought me the entire time. Ultimately Paypal stepped up and reversed the charges but ModDIY was awful at communication. They claimed that the COVID shipping policy was obvious but it was only posted on the front page of their website and many people will come to the site through direct links from forums where people have recommended a specific part. Meanwhile, orders I've made from mainland China at the same time arrived in Canada within a week. ModDIY support (Carrie) treated me like an idiot for not knowing Hong Kong's specific shipping policies. It's not my job as a customer to know the intricacies of all post office shipping policies especially when they were still charging for airmail shipping they knew they couldn't provide!
