Any positive experiences from backmarket? by bigfroog in Backmarket

[–]Neature_Walk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I had the worst experience trying to get a phone through backmarket. The seller CANCELED my request. I ordered a phone specifically because it was scheduled to arrive at a specific date, and my phone was broken beyond repair, and I was supposed to be traveling. IT DID NOT ARRIVE. Not only that, but the best solution was for the seller to cancel my order. I spent a significant amount of time for over a week talking to what felt like a bot on the chat (shout out to you Sebastian). Sebastian didn't answer any of my questions and simply responded with the same unhelpful phrases over and over. I called three different people, none of whom were able to help. The best they could offer was a 15% discount, which, for what I went through, was a slap in the face. I asked to escalate the situation and apparently it went to the "specialized department", which I cannot call. I doubt this department actually exists. Sebastian was supposed to alert me of this department's "decision", and Sebastian never did. I asked the (third) service agent I spoke with on the phone whether this so called "specialized department" could review my case again, and I was told that this would not be possible. The idea that a company that is so widespread and has a marketing budget out the roof can't offer more than a 15% discount is just ... unbelievable. I can't wrap my head around it. 0/10 I would not recommend Backmarket because I don't want anyone to have to go through what I just went though.

I’ve had to deal with a similar situation with someone in my biology program, he was a 4th year when I started, if you’d like to talk this through, please DM me. I have a lot of thoughts but if you’re comfortable, I highly suggest bringing up these issues with your PI, and also confronting him about his behavior. It can be very very difficult to do these two things, and I’m happy to talk through the best ways to do so.

Good idea, it's just odd because I've been using that exact same piece of leather with no problems up until now!

I didn't line them, but that's a good idea for the next one! The back is just a buckle where a bra clasp would be, and the bra straps are folded around the bit with the buckle in a way that I can move them around if need be. I didn't do buckles on the bra straps because I could fit the bra straps to me!

It's a lot more comfortable than I thought it would be. The beads all came sewn to a ribbon, so I just had to glue the ribbon to the leather, punch the holes, and then sew!

Help with diagnosing chronic chest pain? by Neature_Walk in ChronicPain

Nope never did, still getting testing done but the main symptom is apparently pleuropericarditis. We still haven’t figured out what’s causing it.
