Feeling a little low today as my UAS isn't getting it's required medicine.
I received a new Kiwaya laminated uke this morning and have been bitterly disappointed to find the finish on the top and bottom of the side are marked. It looks like the uke has been placed on an abrasive surface which has scuffed/lightly scratched the finish in a few places. The marks aren't that deep but not something I happy with on a brand new £160 ($260) laminate uke. I've got to phone the eBay store I bought it from tomorrow and hope they are ok about getting it replaced/refunded. I feel a bit crushed though as I was really looking forward to playing it.
I'm also still waiting for a Mainland uke I ordered over a month ago from a UK supplier which is driving me crazy - especially as I ordered from the store assuming it would be quicker than ordering from Mainland direct! I got pretty close to cancelling as I had a couple of delivery estimates that were missed but I think it may have finally been dispatched yesterday.
I hoping that's my bad luck over (fingers crossed) and future ukulele purchases are the happy event they should be!
Anyone else had any unlucky buying experiences and did the seller do a good job at putting the problem right?
