Another
online reseller was victimized by a cruel customer who cancelled his order of two
mountain bikes amounting to P 12,000, says GMA News report.
Reseller Prince
Salvador travelled to San Mateo, Rizal on a motorcycle all the way from
Valenzuela City to deliver the bikes to his buyer.
Sadly, when
Salvador arrived at the delivery address, the customer refused to accept his
orders.
“Ang gusto
niya po kasi, pagdating dito, halos walang galos. Dalawa po ‘yung order niya na
mountain bike. Ipinaliwanag ko naman po na hindi maiiwasan ‘yon kasi Antipolo pa
po ‘yung deliver eh sa Valenzuela pa po galing,” said Salvador
The buyer
allegedly cancelled the orders and refused to take the bikes, which left the
reseller empty handed.
“Nalulungkot
po ako, naiiyak, kasi ‘di ko po alam ang gagawin ko,” he said. “Malaking pera
po ito!”
“Sana kunin
pa rin niya ‘yung bike dahil confirmed ‘yung order. Ako po kasi ang nag-aabono
ng lahat ng delivery. Cash on hand po ang delivery,” Salvador said, adding that
he is running on a small capital.
Indeed, on
the spot cancellation of orders hurt many of small-time enterprises and
resellers like Salvador who turned to online selling due to COVID-19 situation.
This kind
of scenario has been happening to a lot of online sellers lately, some are
delivery riders, who rely on small daily income to get by.
Recently, a
bill has been filed in the House of Representative seeking to penalize customers
who would cancel orders of food and grocery orders.
Under the said
measure, violators could get at least
six years of jail time and a penalty of P 100,000 along with the reimbursement
of cancelled order.
