Re: Problem with a forum member

I would be more tha happy to pay for the glue and clamp. But I get a note from paypal asking for all the money. And for the box I thought it was a fed box. Better yet it was a new USPS box. How can you blame me for how the box shows up.. No if you want to keep fighting where all can see fine or email me and will talk there. Up to you

Better yet it was a new USPS box.

A new USPS box designed to hold paper and documents, not heavier more fragile items. Walmart has nice boxes for about .97 cents and a large roll of bubble wrap for about $3.00. Might want to look into that in the future.

I notice you don't deny that you lied about the colour of stain.

If you read what the actual issue was, I didn't blame you for "how the box showed up".

The box arrived intact. The problem is that A) the box is not designed for this type of item, it is clearly labeled for blueprints and documents, and B) You put one thin piece of bubble wrap around the middle of the bat rack (which did nothing by the way) and you failed to put anything as far as padding or protection at the ends. Its obvious that the box got jostled around in transit but it would have survived a heckuva lot better with some padding. Had it been properly protected and still became broken, I would have written it off as s**t happens. This is not the case.

So yes, since you failed to properly package and ship a fragile item, I asked for a refund of money spent on said item and secondly, since I spent $17.25 in repair materials (at your direction) to try to fix the item that was damaged due to your incompetance and the repairs didnt work, I expect to be reimbursed for that. Had you handled this in a decent manner, I would have ordered additional bat racks from you in the future for the rest of my needs.

Now, no soup for you!

Well an update on bat racks from this gentlemen....well there is none. Still no bat racks. I made payment over a month ago and was told 10 days ago the bat racks were shipping out and that I would get a tracking number and now my e-mails go unanswered. I have purchased 6 from this gentleman, which I am beginning to think will never show. A paypal claim is being filed as we speak.

Re: Problem with a forum member

Well, I had hoped to have better news on my end, but I dont.

You may remember that we cleared our dispute when he emailed me a few weeks ago and offered to send me a new rack to make up for the dispute.

On August 6th, I replied to and accepted his offer of a new rack. He asked me what kind of stain I used on mine and I sent him the info.

On August 9th, I emailed him and asked how it was coming along. His reply was:

Cant start untill saterday. But these types I can do in a few hrs and stain and clear coat it in a good day> Ill do my best to get it out on Monday

I expected per his email, that he would start it on Saturday the 11th, and would ship on Monday the 13th. That was 10 days ago.

On August 20th and again today, August 23rd, I emailed him asking where the rack was and have yet to get a reply from him.........

Jessie, if you are reading this, you need to respond so that people are aware of the status of these items. Your failure to respond is giving your business a bad name.

Re: Problem with a forum member

Well I got a response to my paypal claim, but still no response to my e-mail. He says they shipped two weeks ago and hasn't seen any e-mails, but still no tracking number as promised.

Re: Problem with a forum member

XPFO - you may recall (earlier in this thread) that I had the same issue in requesting a tracking number.

I'm not even sure what to say next here.

Re: Problem with a forum member

I know it is strange...a lot of his more recent feedbacks on e-bay involve stuff being lost in the mail etc.... He has a real nice product and seemed to be making lots of sales and could definitley have grown his business, but all of a sudden he is pulling these game. Seems strange...very strange!!!

Re: Problem with a forum member

I dont recall what his ebay screen name is......do you recall it?

Re: Problem with a forum member

This has the earmarks of a guy running a side business he can't keep up with after his main job, family, and personal life. Part of the problem/risk of doing business with individuals rather than companies. I almost refuse to deal with individuals anymore because of this. My last experience was a McFarlane customizer that took nearly 4 months to get me a Kellen Winslow I had commissioned.

Re: Problem with a forum member

Well, whatever the deal is, he needs to honor his obligations?

Re: Problem with a forum member

Glad I read this thread. I almost bought a rack from him. It's a shame. Good looking racks.
