Slipjointed's feedback

[mtwaterguy]

Unfortunately I must give my transaction with Ian a fail. I purchased items from him on June 14th and didn't receive them until July 9th. I was told on the 14th that he would send the items no later than the 15th, but he didn't send them until July 6th. What he did send was carefully wrapped and he even added an extra item that I hadn't ordered. That doesn't make up for the weeks of unanswered PM's, the fabricated shipping dates, and excuses for the delay, along with the uncertainty of whether my purchase would ever be sent.

 

[slipjointed]

I had some personal medical issues that prevented me from completing several transactions in a timely manner.

As soon as I was able to, I made contact with my buyers, and made right on all of my transactions.

mtwaterguy seems to not understand the difference between a fabrication, and a broken promise.

A fabrication is a piece of information crafted specifically to decieve, a broken promise is information that was given with good intent and then changed due to circumstance. I fall in the latter category.



I openly announced on the forum that I screwed up bigtime on these transactions, and I made them right ASAP when I was able. I will not, however, conceed the fact that I purposely mislead anyone or had ill intentions. That couldn't be farther from the truth.

mtwaterguy recieved a bonus equal to something like 30% of the original price he paid me, simply as a gesture of apology for my poor performance. I'm not sure about folks here, but generally people that are trying to screw other people, don't give them free stuff.

I didn't give him the extras with hope of erasing feedback or dodging my responsibility to admitting that I screwed up, but I did hope that it would help him understand that I had good intentions all along.



Typically, when I have a transaction with a member that has a good record prior, and I have trouble contacting them, my first assumption is that they've run into a bad situation, not that they've scammed me. Unfortunately, I didn't recieve that same benefit of doubt in this situation from some of my buyers.

When I was in bed in severe pain on Morphine, my buyers were contacting each other and accusing me of being a scammer and a guy that drowns kittens, instead of saying, "Hey, maybe this guy ran into trouble, let's give him a chance to get things together and THEN we can burn him alive".

edit: Just to add some perspective to this thread, here is a feedback from one of my recent buyers:

The items I bought arrived today and were just as described by slipjointed. Thank you!

So, while I screwed the pooch bigtime on my transactions with mtwaterguy and several other members due to medical issues beyond my control, I did make EVERY TRANSACTION right, and have returned to business as usual, which is responsiveness and prompt shipment.

 

[mtwaterguy]

I am well aware of the definition of fabrication. It's a nice way of saying someone's lying. Like when you told me on the 24th that you would get me my tracking info when you got home. Since you didn't send it til the 6th of july how was that going to work? Since you were not at home, how were you in bed on morphine? Why is it that in a pm to me you blamed your buyers not giving you correct shipping info as the reason you didn't ship their items? How is that you couldn't pm me with an explanation for not shipping my item when you were logged in here pretty much every day at least once and many days mutiple times? Your stories just don't add up.

 

[slipjointed]

edit: I've said what I have to say. You're going to keep coming up with reason after reason that I'm a liar, and the sad thing is that each and every reason is based on an assumption.

The bottom line is, you've said your peace, and I've said mine. You got screwed over by getting more than you paid for after waiting at least twice as long for it, and I'm a scammer that doesn't scam people, as well as a liar that keeps his word.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe it's hard for someone that was in a horrible car accident, to explain why they do the things they do, without telling their entire story down to very personal medical details? I don't think you did, because you were too busy making assumptions about my character.

 

[nato]

I would've liked a personal explanation, per my transaction. I don't know how plainly to put it; I understand what you're going through, I also understand that a brief explanation, even if copied and pasted X amount of times to whomever was sitting and waiting on paid items, is well deserved, too
.

We're human. With no alternate data to go on, when something doesn't work out in a premeditated fashion, we jump to conclusion and sometimes, conclusions that are fully presumptuous 100% based on the fairness of what's going on. I get the wait time if you were strung up do to medical reasons. I also see the "fairness", in you passing along to me some sort of explanation (while you are ALSO passing along the same explanation to other member's down the line) at the same time.

You know how much importance $ is these days. If you'de have walked, we woulda been up **** creek, regardless of your character. Once a joint group of people, with a common goal, has conversed on one single situation, you should have expected what possible outcomes could have been made from this.

I.E.: you originally told me that MY shippuing dealy, was do to complications and inconveniences w/ your imployment. I totally understand that because wrok sometimes poses an issue for me reagrding shipping estimates on ebay transaction. NOW, after the dealyed wait with not really a detailed reason as to why the doubled-up wait time is now incurring, I get a different story that you, quote, told to another buyer, I think you nkow where my thoughts are headed now, especially if haven't yet contacted me to set the record straight.

Please don't use the excuse of having to idle by. I saw that you were supposedly "online", numerous times within the past couple weeks and that's all the time you'd need to press a few buttons. The other guys were showing me what you had wrote.

**** happens, we all know. It's worse in the middle of monetary transactions. please understand our side, moreso then I think you are trying to.
Without anything, you're left with nothing. And nothing, is very hard to comprehend.

 

[slipjointed]

Nato,

You missed it because the thread was deleted first, but I typed a nearly two page response to the thread you made in the classifieds. It basically took this situation from the day I was injured way back, all the way to a day by day account of the last three weeks, almost down to what I ate for breakfast each day.

The bottom line here is not a debate over whether I screwed up... I openly admitted to that. It's a debate about intent; mtwaterguy claims that I intentionally lied, and I claim that I had good intentions and broke some promises. I've already stated (and apologized) repeatedly, both in public and via PM, that I did a piss poor job communicating. It was because I was in a really bad place. If you believe me, fine. If not, that's Ok too at this point, because I took care of all of my transactions, and not one person lost a single dime... in fact some people such as yourself and mtwaterguy came out a little on top.

The biggest problem in this situation is that everyone was going on assumptions, not facts. They took the small communications they recieved from me while I was dealing with my issues, and attempted to add them together into something coherent... and I wasn't even coherent in the first place, even though I was sure as hell trying to be at the time.



Regarding the last week before I finally got everything wrapped up, my only internet connection was my cellphone, and I have GJ set to my homepage on my phone's browser. It was my first week back to work, and I was immediately sent out on business. Every time I opened a browser for any reason, I was "online" at GJ. My phone does decently at browsing the forums, but when it comes to responding to posts and PM's, it's abysmal, or even impossible.

As a note, the first day I got back to a normal computer, I immediately started contacting each and every person I had transacted with. I didn't get them all done on that Friday, but I sure as heck took a good chunk out. In fact, the first of the shipments went out before you started your thread, and before anyone decided to go for my throat. That right there should be a clear indicator that I was fixing things on principle, not just to save face here on the forum.

If I had waited until I was called out to start fixing things, then yeah, I would look like a dirtbag, regardless of my real intentions... but I have to ask, what motivation would I have to start wrapping up my transactions in the background, with no public exposure, other than just pure intent to make things right?

Before that, I was basically dead to the world besides a random PM or two. I don't have any real excuses, just apologies.



I had several new sales this last week, and they all were shipped immediately. Those feedbacks should begin trickling in here pretty soon, and then we can really start talking about what my intentions are. I've been buying and selling on the internet for a decade with a perfect record... two weeks of trouble, and I'm ready for public execution.

 

[Altec]

My experience.

6-23-2011: We struck a deal for "Gearwrench Ratcheting T-handle and Driver set, $20 + shipping" Shipped using (By his thread) a Flat-Rate USPS box.

6-24-2011: Paid for item with Paypal. Was told that the items would go out that day (24th), or the following day (35th)

7-1-2011: Sent a PM asking if he was able to get the items shipped. No Response.

7-2-2011: Posted in thread regarding the items LINK

Writer Note: Between the time frame of 6-24-2011, and 7-2-20711 I observed Slipjointeds' online status appearing as Online as well as private messaging.

7-3-2011: NATO posted a thread regarding issues with Slipjointed. I replied, and sent Slipjointed a urgent PM to calm any of my concern. Shortly after I receive a PM from Slipjointed. Simply stating he sent my item when he said he would (No real tracking information supplied). Due to the vague nature of his response, I requested more information. The message: "Exactly what day was it shipped? 24th? What class?" At this point I received a message from Slipjointed accusing me of pestering, and calling him a liar. As well, explaining his issues, and stating there was a delay in shipping and my items were sent using First Class. And I would have the items "99.99% sure" on July 9th.

Writer Note: NATO paid for his items ten days before I communicated with Slipjointed, and purchased items... As of July 11th, hasn't received anything.

7-8-2011: I receive a message simply stating that my response to his last message wasn't ignore.

7-9-2011 (July 9th): No package. I send a message requesting a refund, and stating that if the package did arrive, I would return ship it on my own dollar. Shortly after that I get a very aggravated response saying "saying you'll return it at your own cost doesn't do me any good for the $10.50 I spent putting your set in a priority mail flat rate box." I respond requesting proof of the items being shipped, and ask why he would lie to me about the items being shipped First-Class. No Response...

Writer Note: I guess he is the only one who would be out time, and money.

7-11-2011: Package received (17 days after it was supposed to be shipped). Flat-Rate box post marked on the July 8th. Packed well, items in described condition. Message sent to Slipjointed letting him know it was received, and our deal was done. Slipjointed replies saying that he was getting ready to give me the tracking information. His explanation for all the misleading information I was given was that he had me confused with some else.

For any specific messages, or information anyone can send me a PM.

 

[slipjointed]

edit: You know what, I'm done. You guys may have hours and hours to devote to this, but I don't.

I kept up my end of the bargain, albeit late. These accounts do nothing more than reinforce the fact that I'm a guy that was having some issues, and fixed them.

You can try and twist the fact that I broke shipping promises or promises of another reply as I'm a horrible person and a liar, or you can interpret them as I'm a person that was obviously going through a rough time.

Obviously, none of you have ever been so sick that you just didn't have it in you to deal with an issue, or you had limited drive to solve your problem(s). I guess since I was just like every other human being that's had a hard time, I deserve to be made out in the worst possible light... even though those attacking me know that they've been in the same damn boat, probably more than once.

The difference is, if the roles were reversed, I wouldn't be the guy spending hours of my time to kick a guy while he's down, solely so I didn't have to admit to myself that perhaps I was wrong about my supposition that I'd been scammed by an evil kitten killer.

I see that none of you have ever had a part in your life where you were so distracted by internal issues, that your handling of external issues fell apart. I'm really happy I'm so deeply flawed, because being perfect and never screwing up; never having a tough time in your life, must be really difficult.

What's sad, is that I doubt one person in this thread truly lives their lives to the standard they're holding me to. They just make sure that nobody finds out.

God forbid anyone say, "Wow, this guy screwed up bad, but then he stood up and admitted it, and took care of the situation, so good on him." We must make it into a giant internet drama-bomb, and spend hours upon hours combing through PM's for some elusive proof that we were dealing with anything other than a guy having a hard time.

If I was a vindictive person, I'd wish the same thing I go through every day on each of you, so maybe you could have even the tiniest understanding of what makes me tick. The thing is though, I wouldn't wish my situation on anyone... not even those that are doing their best to make me look the worst.

 

[nato]

I believe I'm a good person...before your actual refund, you had offered to refund me my initial purchase amount or compensate me on some of the shipping.
I said "No, that's alright and I understand."


Be it a measely $10, but I believe that outweighs anything you're had to fight about thus far and speaks much of my honest character.....

 

[slipjointed]

Nato, I gave you a full refund and sent you your screwdrivers for free without you asking, even after you'd publicly roasted me before finding out exactly what is going on. I can't say I entirely blame you, although I personally would have waited at least a few weeks longer before using the nuclear option.

You all claim to have been interested in nothing more than an explanation of what was going on, but when that explanation was finally given, all I got in return was insults and accusations.

I didn't owe any of you any further explanation than this single sentence: "I had some personal issues and was delayed".

I chose to go farther than that, and share very personal information about myself, in the hopes that perhaps everyone would understand what kind of a world I live in now after my accident, and why I can be flaky from time to time.

I went out of my way to demonstrate good will, and go beyond my original responsibility to complete the transactions. Even though I already had been tried and sentenced, I gave away some items that I would have been more than happy to keep, as a gesture of kindness, and in hopes that it would show that I still had good character even after everything that had happened.

Obviously that was a HUGE mistake.

I can't help but think I would have been better off just saying, "Screw you guys, here's your stuff, life *****". Instead, I reach out with an olive branch, and end up getting my whole arm bitten off.

I have a feeling that everyone's egos are far too bruised now for anyone to give much ground. Because of that, it's probably best if we all just call truce, and let people decide whether to gamble on me or not.

I appreciate that you're at least still trying to talk it out with me, but I'm not sure that there's really anything left for me to say at this point, that could change any of our opinions any.

 

[Gtamazing]

Edit

see post #27

 

[tricker]

Got some run around, but was usually communicated about it



In the end I got my stuff, so I can't say it was negative

 

[graffix000]

I bought from slipjointed as well when mtwaterguy did back in June. I got the same BS run around as well. Several emails telling me the item was being shipped soon, and then taking a couple of weeks to ship. Almost a month from time of payment until I received the items.

He did offer to refund shipping, which was a nice jesture. I declined as it was only a $20 part I was buying.

At the end of the day I received my item, but feel like I did jump through hoops to get it.

 

[slipjointed]

edit: You know what, I'm just not even going to bother any more. I've already thoroughly explained myself, and either you believe me, or you don't.

I've got one more thing to say. If you're going to complain about me wasting your time, don't PM/email me asking me to spend my time giving you detailed explanations of why there was a delay, only to waste my time by calling it "run around" and "BS".

This batch of sales was an isolated incident, and I already have gotten myself back on track. My last round of sales were all shipped and delivered within a 7-10 business day period, save one which was 11 business days, and one other that went to an APO address (and so has not been delivered) and another that involved a wait for two seperate money order payments. That is more than reasonable. If you're expecting your goods any faster than that, you should let the seller know, and pony up the extra cash for faster shipping.

 

[Crashman]

I've got to support slipjointed. I made a deal to buy some adjustable wrenches and there were some issues as other have described. To be fair to slipjointed, he did offer to fully refund the wrenches. He then cut me a good deal on an extra set and they were delivered on time and very well packaged. The guy has obviously had some issues as he says, and is now back on track. Everyone has a rough patch in life - give him a chance.

 

[Hiball]

Ive bought a couple items from SlipJointed, Ill admit the shipping time was a bit slow but sometimes "Life Happens". I had the tracking number within a Hour after i paid, Unfortunately it took a 7+ days to get the package checked in to the Post office. After a week, I contacted SlipJoint via PM and he informed me that he could only ship Once a week due to his schedule and apologized for not keeping in touch. I noticed within the next day or 2 that the package was checked in, And heading my way. I received exactly what i bought, Exactly as described..

 

[slipjointed]

Thanks guys.

I still could do better, but I appreciate the kind words nonetheless.

I'm not saying I've been perfect, but I think I've had good intentions and completed all of my transactions in good faith.

When I haven't completed a transaction in a satisfactory manner, I've always tried to compensate in some way, whether that be a discount, or a freebie. I know that doesn't make up for not doing it right in the first place, but it's better than nothing I suppose.

As time goes on and I gain more seniority at my new job, it's a little easier for me to slip away to the post office, as long as I'm not on one of the cycles where I'm working off-site.

I'm also going through continuing therapy for my issues from the accident, and every day I seem to get a little bit better.

I know it may confuse some people why I continued to post on the forum while still neglecting to respond to some PM's... talking about tools is therapy for me. Sometimes though, when I get myself in a bind, and things are in a slump in my personal life, the stress of dealing with it will cause me to stick my head in the sand. I suppose that is a rather childish way of dealing with things. Then, when I get back out of my slump, I have enough gusto to get everything on track, I end up with a bunch of explaining to do.

It sounds stupid, but either you've been there, or you haven't.

Since it isn't fair for people to have to wait like that, from now on I'm going to only post classifieds when I know for sure I will be able to make it to the post office in a timely manner.

 

[ttensirk]

I don't contribute much to this site, but I wanted to let others know I have made 2 purchases from Slipjointed. I purchased close to $500 worth of tools. All items arrived in better condition than described. I would NOT hesitate to purchase from Slipjointed again.

I'll call it run around when you say one thing, and then do not deliver. It you say it is going to be sent on a certain date, I believe it is going to be sent. Not wait around for the tracking number that stamps.com mysteriously sent to the wrong email. Then find out the items were actually shipped for more than week later then the date you stated.

I sent the initial PM asking if my items had been sent yet as it was a week from when I initially paid and had heard nothing from you after i sent payment. I bought a different item from a seller the same day that I had already received. I am not spending anymore time on this, but the communication, and whole transaction was flawed from the start. Never once did you mention health issues. It was always work issues...

I didn't mention health issues because it's not anybody's damn business. Only when I was repeatedly and relentlessy prodded, attacked, and even stalked by certain members to the point where I had to threaten to bring staff into it, did I finally decide to tell my whole story.

You've already left your mark, at this point all I can say is PLEASE don't buy from me. You've made it clear that no amount of apologizing for my poor communication and delays will be enough for you to stop attacking me, so please just don't do any business with me and leave it at that.

 

[Gtamazing]

I'm working a second deal with Slipjointed right now. If it comes out good he's alright by me.

 

[slipjointed]

It will. I wasn't able to get the package in with the rest on monday due to that address error we discussed, but it's all ready to go. I'm going to make sure to check yours in at the counter so I have an actual check-in receipt, and I'll let you know as soon as the tracking goes active.

 

[sumner52000]

I purchased a set of sockets from slipjointed. Paid late sunday, shipped on monday and was at my door when I got home on wednesday. Very well packed. Items looked better than I expected. I won't hesitate to purchase from him again. Thanks for the great sockets slipjointed.

 

[kissmeimgerman]

Thanks! Fast shipping, packed extremely well. Would buy from again!

 

[david-h]

I bought drill index on Thursday and it was delivered Monday afternoon. I can't ask for more than that. Very happy and would definately buy from again.

Ian and myself had some issues in the past with our first transaction. The second time around he shipped my item before I paid him just so I would trust him. It got here quick and was packed perfectly. This guy is good by me.

Good to hear it arrived in one piece. It was a tight fit in the box but it was padded well.

Thanks for the feedback. Obviously I had some major issues but I'm back on track and plan to stay that way.

 

[HOOTinKY]

I understand you went through some problems and "I Can Fix Anything" can tell you I am a patient buyer(crazy mix up where it fell through the cracks.No harm no foul and I've bought alot from him since then). But I'm getting worried now when I see quotes like the one below and still haven't received my $270 worth of tools or an email telling me they have been sent.
I sent you a PM also before I found this thread so I figured I would use both means of communication.

Please let me know something.

[HOOTinKY]

Wow I didn't even notice you were online. Thanks for the PM.

 

[slipjointed]

edit: I guess you were replying as I PM'ed you?

Either way, e-detective work can be a very slippery slope, and many times the information you think you found is either out of context, or too slim to do anything but speculate. The part you highlighted shouldn't be causing you additional worry, because it only reinforces what I told you regarding when your package was shipped.

I don't blame you for checking in, but IMO the only thing this thread proves is that no matter how completely screwed my transactions have gotten, I still have stepped up and gone above and beyond to make it right, one way or another.

I don't see there is anything of serious concern (yet) regarding your shipment, but I will let you know what I find out asap.

 

[wchamberlain]

"and one other that went to an APO address (and so has not been delivered)"

Ian if your referring to me, no it hasn't been delivered, kinda perturbed. The items were purchased on the 1st of September and we are quickly approaching 1 November.

I'm not bitching I know things takes time, but all ya gotta do is PM me and say hey, I'm shipping it on this day or such.

I've had items arrive in 4 days and one that took almost 45 days, so patience is a virtue and I'm almost out, just let me know the deal.

 

[RobertMo1988]

I said i would buy a 1/4'' driver from him for $20 on 10-09-2011, i sent the payment on 10-10-2011, it is 10-27-10, and i asked him about shipping after 2 weeks, and he said check your paypal, well i checked my paypal and i have no shipping information. I sent him a message either yesterday, or the day before and asked him if he is walking it to me because it should have been there by now, and either way im like every other person on here. i am ok with waiting as long as there is communication but i havent heard anything back yet from him. makes you wonder....

 

[balane]

Definitely going to be avoiding this guy. These are precisely the types of situations I don't like to experience when buying on line and slipjointed has a lot of you guys getting the run around. No thank you!! Thanks for the head's up everybody.

 

[slipjointed]

I almost lost my eyesight on Monday. I had an accident at work and took hot slag to the face.

Anyone is welcome to PM for pictures, if you're into that kind of thing.

I've spent the last couple days praying that I wouldn't lose my vision in my right eye, and the swelling went down enough today that I'm looking out of both eyes now. My right eye is still blurry and painful, but my doctor said that the damage was outside of the Cornea, so I should recover 100%.

wchamberlain, you PM'ed me on 10/25; this is the first time I've gone through my messages. Give me your paypal info so I can look up your paypal payment quickly, and I'll give you a full refund. I'm not interested in digging through boxes of receipts. If you get the box, just keep it.

edit: wchamberlain, It's not that I'm not interested in resolving it, I'm just in enough pain right now that if I bend over or do anything that even slightly changes my blood pressure, my face starts throbbing. I just don't even want to think about trying to figure out where the hell I put your dropoff receipt.

edit again: I just PM'ed you a possible resolution, let me know what you think. I really, really need to go lay down now.

The member Hootinky above, that also had an issue... you two were related. My eyes are getting really sore here so if you even care to know the details, I can PM you later or even post publicly. I've gotta stop typing and lay down now. I may even respond later tonight, I haven't slept in two days, don't know if it will be any different tonight.



Robertmo, you have a full refund as of five minutes ago. Frankly I don't know what I confused with your payment, but you don't even have an address on your paypal account.

edit2: Robert, this is my fault, not yours. I can't believe that you're so forgiving to actually apologize to me via PM when you didn't even do anything wrong. My comment regarding your address was referring to the fact that it was absurd for me to say you had tracking when that is absolutely impossible without there being an address attached to your paypal payment.

Anyone else who was in the large batch of tracking numbers that was sent Sunday night, your packages are all still OK and going out.

Definitely going to be avoiding this guy. These are precisely the types of situations I don't like to experience when buying on line and slipjointed has a lot of you guys getting the run around. No thank you!! Thanks for the head's up everybody.

I edited out my smart-*** response to you. You're more than justified in your comment.

 

[wchamberlain]

Ian and I had a deal, items never arrived. They were sent back to him, I contacted him and I was given almost a full refund, still waiting on a small percentage. Good communication, took a little time, I was patient and he came through. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from him again, even thought they didn't show up, he made the effort almost immediately to rectify the situation.

I'm still continuing to clean up my act on sales, for anyone reading this thread. I shipped the first half of my most recent batch of sales within 24 hours of payment, and the second half within 4 business days or less (that was the longest, a single package).

My job and health are too unpredictable to ship on time reliably, so I'm only going to be posting items in the future, when I can absolutely guarantee that I can ship in a timely manner and not cause any inconvenience for buyers.

I had considered calling it quits completely on classifieds for a while, but the fact of the matter is I just love tools too much. I'm going to be much more vigilant though.

The member Hootinky above, that also had an issue... you two were related. My eyes are getting really sore here so if you even care to know the details, I can PM you later or even post publicly. I've gotta stop typing and lay down now. I may even respond later tonight, I haven't slept in two days, don't know if it will be any different tonight.

Still waiting.. I would prefer the tools but if they are gone or whatever then a full refund may take the edge off. These tools were bought for use in my line of work and have cost me already by not having the tool I need. I am starting to get a bit pissed to be all honest.

edit: You know what, screw it. I'm done. I've withdrawn all of my running sales and no longer am going to be participating on this forum. This is just never going to end, no matter what I do. I assume people will still be bumping this thread fifty years from now, after I'm dead.

Hoot, I'm not sure what the point of posting here was, other than just trying to make me look even worse. I think you know very well based on the resolutions in this thread, that a simple PM would have gotten you a refund. I haven't heard from you in weeks and I assumed everything was fine.

I keep trying to type a bunch of different responses here, but I just don't care any more. For anyone reading this and wondering, yes, I will tie up these last two lose ends. As I've said from the first word I typed in this thread, I have never stolen a dime, and never plan to.

Man, I'll vouch for you! I've bought several items from this guy without a hitch. no issues, no regrets. I got some Knipex items this past week.
-timely shipping and great communication throughout.

I think we all need to take a step back.

Has anyone else that recently purchased items from SlipJointed recieved them yet?

I paid for 3 items on 11/9, got tracking update on 11/15 from USPS saying "shipping information recieved" but no shipment yes. Sent a PM on 11/20 but no response as he hasnt logged on since 11/17.
