Bench assembly station: My Fairino FR10 arrived without its controller

I bought a complete Fairino FR10 package for positioning assembly samples from an unnamed seller in China. Only the arm arrived; we're missing the controller and the controller power lead. For 56 days the seller has said they shipped separately without giving a second reference. Our crate and packaging are still here. I work at a bench assembly station, if that helps put the setup in context.

@SarahBennett0763 What's the package count on your delivery note? Match its identifier to the agreed contents so the missing balance is clear.

One package identifier. Our order lists the arm, controller, and the controller power lead. I've checked all the foam compartments. Neither missing item is hiding underneath.

@SarahBennett0763 Give the seller your received inventory and crate-label photos. Request a package identifier and shipping reference for the missing controller and the controller power lead.

Missing contents or missing parcel, then? This separate-shipment story isn't in our order paperwork.

@SarahBennett0763 You can describe the remaining items as undelivered. That sticks to your inventory without guessing how the seller packed them.

Exactly. With only one package on the note, the controller wasn't in that shipment. Ask for the other consignment details.

Careful: one recorded package doesn't establish its intended contents. It also doesn't establish that a second shipment was actually made.

Agreed, I jumped from count to contents. Your inventory shows what's absent. The seller still owes you the packing and dispatch explanation.

@SarahBennett0763 Can any setup preparation happen with just the arm there?

@AlexChan1081 Paperwork and visible label checks, yes. Keep the arm off, and don't try another controller just because it looks similar.

It's staying off. The empty space on our bench is annoying, but borrowing a controller wasn't part of my plan.
