I had a great weekend on the river, just got back today. Logged on to check out what’s new on the forum since I have been gone. Only to find this guy posting up some paranoid crazy ****.
I’m just posting the facts…not acquisitions or what I think happened, like this guy has been posting.
First off, I’m the one he is referring too. But here is the truth to the matter- Not sure even why I’m going to go into all of this except I
do not like any insinuations of being dishonest. I hate liars and thieves. I don’t know how many times in threads I have stated that.
He accepted my offer of $280….and shipped them out. Roughly 2-3 days after shipping (I’m tracking it multiple times a day) I missed the Saturday delivery…(family get together in LA). I track it even at the restaurant and see (that a notice was left at my door. I figure owell I will pick it up at the post office Monday. We get home that night. I go to grab the notice off my door (where the USPS carrier always has left them before)…..NO NOTICE. I then grab my keys to my box, only to find regular mail…NO NOTICE, NO BOX.
I drove to my local USPS Monday morning at 9am, wait in line and talk to a representative. They pulled up the tracking and it says notice left. (I didn’t get a notice) all I had was the tracking info I printed out. The USPS guy told me they probably threw it back on the mail truck and it would be delivered today. (I took the rest of Monday off work to be home for the delivery). I was in my back yard and saw the mail truck mid day. I went to the box, (carrier already left). Open my box to find again only regular mail…(NO NOTICE, NO BOX). So I drove immediately to the post office to see what was going on. I talked to another carrier who looked in the back (found no box). She suggested I talk to a route supervisor. She took my tracking sheet and stamped it). She told me the supervisor would be back Tuesday morning…(another trip back)! I go back in the morning talk to the route supervisor who had no idea where the box was, looks in the back a third time now, (big surprise no box). She said it could have been already sent back to the shipper (even that it was short of the 10 or 15 day time period). She said she has seen that before.
I emailed this guy (almostrippedoff). And told him the progress and that I have not received it yet. I’m getting worried and frustrated now to say the least. At this point to me it looks like I’m not going to get the box, and I don’t even have a clue how to resolve this mess. I call paypal to see what can be done. I talk to the paypal guy and he tracks it and said I’m covered under the buyer protection. I ask him specifically if I get my money back where is it coming from (the seller)…he said “yes, the funds would be reversed”. I even told the paypal guy….”I believe the seller shipped the items….and I don’t like the idea of the funds being withdrawn from him”. I told the paypal guy I would contact the seller and see what he suggests as the next course of action. The paypal guy said that was
more than fair of me. (almostreippedoff, call them if you don’t believe me).
So I email the seller and ask what he thinks is the "best" next step. His response was….to “relax, he is not a scammer, & how did I know it said “left notice” (from the tracking info online)?!?!?! How else?
So now with little to no help from anyone….I’m out dang near $300 and nothing to show for it. So I decide to start a paypal dispute….
Not a claim. The paypal guy said it was my best bet to get a resolution (seller to buyer). So I file a dispute…..that I never received the package.
That night I go out to dinner with my wife and my brother in law who is in town for the night. Half way through dinner my cell phone starts ringing
off the hook. This guy must have called me 15 times if not more…over and over and over….I couldn’t answer the call in the middle of dinner. I looked at the number and saw it was from IL. I figured after the first call he would leave message and I would call back. NOPE…..over & OVER &
OVER…..then I get text messages…and emails! The email said he talked to two people at my local USPS and they are saying the box was delivered…the USPS carrier made a mistake and thought it was delivery confirmation (not signature). That the parcel was left in a parcel box & a key was left in my mailbox. Now the key is gone and the box with the screwdrivers is also gone…..that (ME OR SOMEONE IN MY HOUSE MUST HAVE GRABBED IT). The rest of the email I won’t even go into but more accusations & some kind of **** about a post office investigation? (Lame/whatever). So after seeing the email and how he is already accusing me and then calling my cell every couple minutes, I responded back in an email that “I’m impressed he got all that information….I couldn’t get it and I went there and spoke three times
in person with them”. I told him “I would go to the post office in the morning to confirm and meanwhile I would drop the dispute immediately” (which I did).
After getting home from dinner about 9:30pm (I’m really getting un-nerved at this point). As we are pulling in to the driveway I noticed my neighbor outside. (It’s actually a care facility ran out of a house). I decided since they were out talking (care takers) that I would at least ask if they got a key or box. I have had it happen with a FedEx delivery over the holidays. I asked one care taker and they said that she hadn’t but she would ask the others as the new shift changed. Next day one of the care facility employees came over as I was jumping in my truck going to work. They said there was a key left in THEIR BOX (NOT MINE)….and they took the package out thinking it was for one of the clients……(it’s a big bank of mailboxes)….not sure if this guy (allmostrippedoff) thinks it’s just one mailbox but its not. So armed with that info…..I contact the guy who owns the care facility and talk to him directly (on my lunch hour) and tell him this whole story, he said he would find out what’s going on and if they have the box he would personally get it to me.
Ok so that was on May26th. That next day (Wednesday May27th)….. The owner calls me and tells me the care facility next door to me was in the process of being temporarily moved to another house a street over (they are renovating the house). He said if they have the box it probably is in the moving truck now or will be unpacked the next day. I leave for my holiday trip to the river…and asked the Care facility owner to please keep the box in his possession and call me when he finds it. I got a call Saturday that he has it. I think great! I’m almost debating cutting my holiday trip short just to get back so I can have some peace with this purchase. But we stay, and drove back on schedule.
Fast forward to today. I got the box this afternoon. Got home opened it and thought, this is finally over! (Nope I was wrong.....I find you and your posts here).
But you know what dude…..stealing is something I despise. Also I almost find it comical you searched the whole internet. And look, low and behold……wow you found I frequent a forum!!!! WOW I applauded you and your skills. Go do something constructive with that built up anger. Try something else than stalking.
Sorry this post is so long, I just want to get the truth and facts out there not like the **** this guy is spouting.
Another thing Allmostrippedoff, if you still think I was trying to rip you off….why don’t you do a quick search on here or the net for that matter….about all the problems people have with the USPS and deliveries.
Now here is the kicker to the story….after all that effort….and **** to deal with with this "stellar ebay power seller". The tray is broken is 3-4 places. And the chrome on the screwdriver shafts are rusting! So maybe you really are the scammer? I didn’t remember reading that in your auction? But I bet this guy will have some kind of fancy conspiracy theory as to somehow I got the chrome to rapidly start rusting and did this in an attempt to…… (Ah hell who knows).
FYI: Allmostrippedoff- respond however you want. I won’t even see it, but Ill toss a link to this thread into your ebay feedback if you want, so you can show all your perspective buyers some more of that A+++ class! BTW your going on my ignore list (so I wont even be bothered by your response). You may think you got under my skin in the above posts, but dude I know I didn't try to rip anyone off. You can call me names and say I tried to scam you. And I will just "shine you on" dude. Talk your ****, say what you want. But I know that truth.
Truly, I think this is the only tool I have ever regretted buying.

Rant over. I feel better

Perhaps you should try to be more clear? And punctuation and spacing and paragraphs wouldn't hurt either.
