JoeM7392 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Mine was shipped for $1.20 for 5 patches. No tracking. I have the envelope and label right here, he definitely stiffed everyone on shipping. He's not providing a number because there isn't one.

JoeM7392 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Yeah that's BS. I never noticed until you guys brought it up. I'm not happy he charged me 4x what he paid to ship. I'm happy I have them and they're legit which will prevent me from raising an issue, but that's not cool.

dsl135 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yea, I bought mine on eBay. He marked them shipped, but never uploaded a tracking number and it didn't have one on it when I got it. He absolutely is stiffing people. I left him a 2 on shipping and handling charges. It's cool he has these, and it's cool he's selling them for a reasonable price, but there's no 2 ways about it, he's lying about the shipping charges and pocketing the money. He's dishonest about it, absolutely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM7392 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Same here. I only knew they were actually on the way when they showed up. Marking it as shipped on eBay means nothing with no tracking info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I received a very rude reply to my inquiry, but no tracking number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM7392 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Good way of handling customers. Anyways if he paid for shipping with what we paid him for, they would absolutely be to you by know and you and him would both know it because of the TRACKING. Seems like this guy just cares about pocketing as much $$$ as possible, that's the only excuse for over charging on shipping not once, but at least three times between us here.

mfitz804 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Funny thing is, he told me how good his customer service is, while at the same time getting mad at me for not believing there was tracking info, after he failed to give it to me despite my requests. He did mention a second time, though, that while some were sent without tracking info, mine does have tracking info even though I don't believe it. Suffice to say I'm very annoyed at this point.

TMLFAN Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Just heard back. $12-$15 shipping to Canada. Ya ok.Seems relevant to post this again with all the talk of excessive shipping charges tonight. $12-$15 when it would cost a few bucks in stamps to send one patch to Canada in a plain envelope.

It's $3-5 shipping max and $9-10 of sweet additional profit.Or that's what I would say to myself if I was on eBay ripping people off on shipping.

Hawks2797 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I received mine 7 days after it was postmarked on the envelope. It didn't even cost him a dollar to ship them to me .98 to be exact.. Economy shipping frustrating but the patch is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverback53 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 $9.00 quoted shipping to Europe vs. $2.38 in stamps on the envelope. Oh well. Got the patch, though, and it looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dude_Abides Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Come on guys really? Before, these patches were really hard to find. Now there's enough to last the hobby for quite a while. I was shocked to see how cheap he was selling them. They are rare originals that are priced lower than repros. If he makes a couple extra bucks in shipping, who cares. Am I wrong? The whole tracking thing is a bit deceiving and risky on his part. If he just throws a stamp on it or doesnt track it, it would be super easy to claim it wasn't recieved. As a seller, it's not worth the potential headaches, just track it.

mfitz804 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 That's the thing, if he was only trying to make additional money on shipping, I would have said nothing. But pretending that you have tracking information, telling me you tracked the item and there's a problem, when you know you didn't send it with tracking even though the amount of shipping that was paid was sufficient to cover tracking, that's just dishonest. I had no problem with the shipping charge. My problem is that he lied to me and insulted me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a seller, it's not worth the potential headaches, just track it. See that's a very dangerous way of looking at it, in my opinion. Him providing a rare patch at a good price does not entitle him to be dishonest and outright lie about the cost of shipping. There's no other way of saying that. He's lying, intentionally, and pocketing extra money. If he listed it for $15 a patch with free shipping that would be one thing, but to deliberately overcharge people and lie about tracking existing? No way does that make it ok for him to "make a couple extra bucks in shipping." All he has to do is be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with the less subtle "You're obviously a liar or you would have just given me the tracking information". I'm a New Yorker, were abrupt. Tempted to post the whole back and forth here for everyone to enjoy, but I don't want to clog up the thread with nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
