Our Universal Robots UR5e package from an unnamed seller in China is here with the main hardware matching our order. The promised spare kit is missing, including an extra pendant cable; the installed one is present. i've had 27 days of 'next shipment' replies with no parcel reference.
We're planning transferring small housings, and i want the missing kit dealt with.
@JuliaBennett0761 Does the final order confirmation explicitly include an additional pendant cable? Comparing that wording with your inventory would distinguish the promised spare from the installed component.
@NinaBell0675 Yes, the final seller message names the extra pendant cable. i've checked the packaging and accessory list. We've the normal setup components, but no spare kit.
@JuliaBennett0761 Use the confirmed spare commitment and received inventory to ask for its part code and dispatch status. A dispatched kit should also have a transport reference they can identify.
Am i giving this too much attention when the main package is here? The seller's wording makes the spare feel like an optional favour rather than part of our agreement.
@JuliaBennett0761 On a different accessory purchase of mine, I described the spare as an outstanding order item. That kept the request proportionate to what had actually been omitted.
@NoraBrooks0844 An outstanding spare-kit item is an accurate description. With the main package complete, the missing spare shouldn't affect your plans for transferring small housings.
You're right. I can say the installed package isn't missing that component, but I can't judge your spare requirements. Keep that planning decision separate from the delivery count.
Confirming the applicable part code ties the spare to the configuration you received. General descriptions may not identify the specific replacement component being promised.
Have the seller identify the shipment referenced in that promise. Until they explain whether it's booked and which order it serves, the phrase doesn't specify a completion arrangement.
@JuliaBennett0761 If they offer a different spare or an adjustment, get the exact proposal in writing. You can assess an actual option; 'something equivalent' is hard to plan around.
@NoraBrooks0844 i've pinned down the spare commitment and can ask for its code and dispatch status. The main package is complete, but our spare kit is still outstanding.
