Mitsuboshi is also a reputed OE supplier that has been at it for over a hundred years.
It takes only a few minutes and a bunch of ignorant people to ruin a business/website's reputation irreparably by blasting it on the homepage without any context. |
Only you and other 2 members used the word "junk", while the OP did not, so I think you're misunderstanding the issue here.
The complaint here I think falls in the nature of "Different goods sent, than those described online".
It doesn't matter how many years has Mitsub0shi been in business, when you ask for a specific thing online, you must get just that. Even another colour of item is wrong, leave alone another brand.
An ethics-focused business will:-
1. Clarify clearly, that the brand is Mitsub0shi, and whether it actually sold parts to Mitsubishi at any time during history (or not), irrespective of their standing in the market,
2. take the time to explain that the brand we're selling is around/over a 100 years old, and quality can be expected from it,
3. send pics which are of the specific product to be sent, in the packaging one can expect it in,
4. be clear in its policy regarding refunds and returns, and never EVER block your customer, unless things go to a harassment level.
If the seller has their own version, they're free to make a team-bhp account and defend themselves. From the little information we have, prima facie, it does appear the customer is correct here.
Communication is an important part of customer experience, just delivering an ok product is not enough, this is not 1970.
Unfortunately though, many never truly take the time to understand how an ideal business should be. And thus, we as customers face gaps in service, which @bijims has described very well.
Why are we in a hurry to mint money, and not to learn first?

Could be that maybe the OP is not aware of this specific brand, like I was not (I'm a biker so its ok, for me)?
I think its ok to not know some things. After all, what are online discussions for?
