So, this was an item picked up on E-Bay. Admittedly, the seller had no responsibility, or fault for the shipping provider, and I talked to him a bit about it. His response? I’ll be damned if this isn’t just scary shit people:

"I’m sorry, but it’ll take 2 days to ship the product (to SHIP the product mind you). We do have them in stock, but it takes 2 days to get it out to you".

Ok, no biggie. I called UPS the night he said that (a Thursday night), they said they’d look into it and call him back. Once they did, however, they said HE refused to reship the product. They told me his words were "I’m not going to reship the product, no matter how much you pay me. I’m a small business and I don’t need this crap". Oy.

So, thankfully it arrived on Tuesday (last week), but when I went to put in a neg. feedback due to his refusal to work with his own shipping agency, HE leaves ME a neg. claiming I’m irresponsible, foolish and the like.

Let’s try to recap here:

A> I paid within 24 hours (think this one was 12 actually)

B> As SOON as they screwed this order up, I got on the phone with UPS to figure out WHAT happened

C> I managed to get him his shipping costs returned (not that I’ve seen a penny of that mind you).

D> I was extremely (extremely) patient. 2 weeks AFTER it was supposed to be here, it got here.

This could have turned into a bloody MESS, what with me moving (the day AFTER it got here) and everything. Of course, all the buyer thinks about is his neg, not how he treated the customer, or the crap he caused by packing the item poorly (which resulted in the shipping labels being unreadable by UPS, which resulted in 2 weeks delay).

Thankfully, it’s here and that’s over with. Never again will I embark on such an adventure with that individual, and HOPEFULLY (hopefully) I won’t hear from ‘im for a long long while.

It would have been more complicated to try to deliver a package to a house I don't live in any longer I guess. <br> <br>That said: <br>tomorrow is moving day, *censored*, I hope this is the last time that I do this for a VEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRY long time. My front room is full of boxes, my room is torn apart, hell my life is full of boxes..... Well, I'm stuck in this new place for at least a year, but looking @ it, it looks perfect, compared to what I'm living in now. <br> <br>Hopefully the move won't take too long, updates more often, hopefully. <br> Well, thankfully the package arrived, although 2 weeks later.
