A Goodwill store on eBay sold me a moldy machine/box and extension kit! My delivery was a biohazard!
I have messaged the sellers but I’m so mad. I had a flood in my basement, and damaged my knitting machine and extension kit. I’ve been looking for a while for both pieces on eBay, and I found a store that sold both items. I got super excited and spent $160 to have them send me both items plus shipping and handling. I didn’t smell anything at first, but yes, the box smells like moldy/mildew, and just overall nasty. As I was doing inventory of the items, I videotaped it, but I was getting so mad at even the instructions. The instructions themselves had mold on them. Just upon looking at the box it should be clear that there was water damage. Me and my excitement did not notice that portion of the box, I just wanted to get inside. Upon further inspection, I just kept realizing more and more problems and anyone, even if they’ve never use this machine before, can clearly see mold on it. Everything that was shipped to me should’ve been put in the landfill. I’ve sent a message to the seller, and I’ve documented it with pictures, but I am beyond livid. At first, I thought the extension kit was brand new because the little baggy inside had never been open before, upon inspecting this 3rd piece of machinery to see if it would connect to the other two, it’s clear it was also very wet too! There is mold on the tape, the tape had fallen off the piece but the color of the tape stayed behind, as well as white spots from paper drying out. When I went to. barbs from the bottom side of the machine, they are rusted in place, the nuts /washers attached to them are now rusted and warped. There is no way to safely take these out without breaking the plastic around it. So these three pieces can’t even be joined together. Again, it just seems like the longer I look, the more issues I see, and I don’t understand how somebody putting this item on. eBay didn’t notice any of this. The hooks have rust on them, the plastic has mold on them, you can’t make the pieces go together, and if I was to use any of my yarn to attempt to test it, I already know that I’m throwing that yarn away due to mold contamination. So anyone who would’ve purchased this and then attempted to make a sweater or an Afghan would’ve lost not only their time and energy, but their basic material of yarn. I’m sorry if this is not a concise statement about the problem, I have a TBI (Traumatic Brain injury and am 100% disabled due to a spinal cord injury) and do the best I can. Does anyone know what portion of Goodwill overseas their online store? I just wanna make sure that I am contacting everyone that should see the package I got. A company like Goodwill sending someone with numerous (over 10) autoimmune diseases, a physical disability, and a mental disability a huge package/box of biohazard is just the definition of ironic.
