On 9/17 (Wednesday) I brought my tablet into a repair shop to get the screen fixed and was told it would take a week since it was coming from Cali. Invoice says estimated repair cost $100. Didn't specify how long it would take.
I forgot about it and had my sister call almost a week after it should've been fixed. First thing he says, "i was just about to call you....". He never even called me to give me an update then on that call he says the part was wrong so he had to go through another company in China. I feel like that's bs. I told him to give me a time frame because it was unacceptable. He offered me the tracking number. I let him know that wasn't my responsibility and that I wasn't from the area was only visiting from Orlando. He offered to fix it and ship it, I declined.
Today makes exactly a month since he's had it. I pop up today to get the tablet.

I ended up calling the police in hopes that would make him give it up but they couldn't do anything which I understand its more of a civil matter.
The police had me wait outside and finally came out and told me dude is offering to fix it and ship it to where I'm going. I asked police would they trust dude after what I've told them, one cops says he wouldn't trust them to fix a flat.
Could I afford the $100? Yes but its the principle.
I'd like to take him to court. I'm not sure what the value of the tablet is at this time.
School me.
*As soon as I walked into the shop I had a bad feeling about using them to fix it but my sister got her laptop fixed there and they were charging $75 less than so I decided to give them a chance.
