Can you believe this! I just received a note in my mailbox yesterday about a package received at the post office for me.

I wasn't expecting anything so this was a surprise. Just went there a few minutes ago to pick it up and what do you know... here are the Amiga 3000 casing parts I ordered more than 2 months ago from our dear Retrogeek001/Doommaster.

It took quite a while but I finally have them.

Since we all took our turn roasting him for his "outstanding" customer service, I tought it was just fair to mention that.

Did you have to pay extra to have it sent by mule?

Come on guys, A3000 have really short legs, so it took a while

[keropi]

only two months...

im not defending doomy, but if you paid for air postage from us to europe still would take 1-2 weeks maybe more. Surface mail for sure 7 -8 weeks. depends what you paid for. either way email communication is critical.

2 months indeed is way too long. Sure, he may not be able to go to the post office every day to send out goods, at least it should be possible once a week. And then it should arrive at max. 2 weeks later.

I myself always send out goods on saturdays, since I can't make it to the post office on weekdays, but it will never take more than a week for me to post things. A recent shipment to Japan took less than 2 weeks.


So, what I absolutely do not understand about Doomy is that he first lets people wait, making them angry, then he starts flaming in his Ebay feedback that everything is "not true!" and that he deserves a positive, and finally still ship out the goods.

What is so difficult to send one or two E-mails, saying: "Congratulations, you won the auction! Please pay me like this: ####" and "I received the money, thank you! Shipment has been sent with tracking number ####."?

Just two E-mails and one trip to the post office. Instead he prefers to pick a fight. I don't get it. I really don't....

Well, he took 27 days to tell me the shipping cost...

That, in itself did not suffice to make me angry. He could've told me he has a problem, a handicap or even made up a story.

No, what really put my a55 on fire is that fact that he filed an NPB only 2 days after I gave him the tracking number to the Xpresspost envelope containing the money order I sent him.

Also, one day after he had received the envelope, he still hadn't removed that NPB. To top it off, he called it "just a formality"... So only 24 hours before my right to leave feedback would be removed, I was truly forced to leave him a red spot...

And yes, he is in NY state and I am in Quebec so he doesn't live far away from here.

He's in New York? What part?

He's in New York? What part?

All of him luckily

/me like that joke. :-)

My mistake... it seems he is in Oregon.

Otherwise, offering any other information could expose myself to retaliation on eBay.

P.S.:Once again Amiga.org flushed all the text I typed...

oh ok... yes i got mistaken thinking he was from greece... 2 months from US is a long time but depends when payment was received. It can still take 1-2 weeks for envelope to cross the border.

He does have a handicap, Hes Doomy. Need I say more.
Shipping even by snail mail would take less than 2 weeks from the distance you are apart.
