Having trouble with jamesk007

I'm a little confused... I thought I read that James007 stated he didn't get confirmation because it was to expensive, and that he threw out the "papers".

If you went to the p.o to talk to them about the issue, how could you have done that without a copy of the customs papers, or a DC number ? Seems it would be awful hard to track or trace something with no doocumentation.
Also, why would you after all this time, think you may be able to find the papers ? That should have been the first thing you looked for, when this situation started.
The OP did his part and shipped out the knife, and you have it in your possession Unless you can prove through p.m or e-mail documentation that the OP agreed to assume the risk, you only have two options to make this right. Either return his knife, or refund the funds

James, it's not a matter of what you feel. What matters is the facts.
It is up to each person to keep any documentation pertaining to the trade or sale. That is the only way a person can show proof something was shipped. If you had documentation, and threw it out before the transaction was complete, then you assumed the liabilty of not having proof, and are taking a big risk. In some cases it will never be a problem, but when it does, you have to accept the consequences, and do what it right, to make the other party happy.
You further complicated matters by having a third party involved. When you have someone else take care of things for you, you also assume the risk involved, if that person doesn't follow through. That is your responsibility.

The BF's saying is, a transaction is not complete, until both parties are satisfied. In this case, you got the knife you wanted, but the OP has not, so the ball is in your court to make this right.
A persons character and feedback is very important for those of us that deal here. If you want to continue dealing, it only takes one really bad transaction, and people will not deal with you anymore.
On the other hand, if you step up and accept responsibility, and do what it takes to rectify the problem, that says volumes about the person.
 
I still have the paperwork
If I send the knives back then u will be at a loss, I will have lost knives

I never pop into threads like this or share my opinion on things as I have never felt it necessary. From what I have read here, I feel you are giving the OP the run around. You guys agreed in engage in a trade of items, that much is clear. Im sure the OP made mention of the customs thing due to the knife laws in the UK being strict. All of that aside, you both agreed to send eachother a knife. However, you made some mistakes along the way which may force you to bite the bullet and accept the loss. You gave the item to your neighbor and said you dont have the proper paperwork. But now you are saying you do? Provide it. The OP sent his end of the deal PROPERLY, at a post office, and it made it to you. You cut corners by giving yours to a neighbor to take care of it, and it got lost along the way. That is no ones fault but your own.

I made a purchase from a fellow member right when I joined the forums and it never showed up. We spoke a few times on the phone as it couldnt be located even after showing confirmation of delivery. When I was ready to accept the fact that I wasnt going to get anything the seller stepped in, told me I was an idiot for thing thats how things worked, and made things right (by his standards) by refunded me every penny including PP fees and shipping.

You should have paid the extra money for insurance and tracking because at the end of the day £35 is better than the cost of replacing the knife.

I think you should step up and send this man his knife back.
 
James, you are not helping your case at all.
First you don't have papers.
Then you do.
Now you're responsible and don't want to be.
Send the OP and Rockgolfer their knives back.
Yes you have lost knives, oh well.
 
James has said he will be sending my knife back.

I want to believe he gave the knives to his neighbor. I want to to give james the benefit.of the doubt and say both knives got lost in transit. If this is what happened then so be it and jameshas lost two knives. I have also told him that if/when my para shows back up I will refund him the return shipping. I just want to be transparent about this.

Have you provided proof of this to the members involved ? You don't have to post it for the rest of us to see, but I hope you have shown them.
If in the end you end up being out the knives that were your part of the trade, that is unfortunate, but highly unlikely.

I hope he does get the knives back to both of you.
 
The last ive heard from James is that he "Thinks he has found the receipts." That he told me he threw away. Although I have not seen any reciepts or documentation. Im glad he told the other gentleman that he would ship his knife back. Unfortunatly he has not given me the same promise. I really appreciate the support from the fellow forum members and would ask for your further support because I dont think ill get anything back without your help.

James I am asking you to please do the right thing and send me the NIB Dodo or my NIB Para 2 back. I understand that you will be out your Dodo if you indeed shipped one to me but the bottom line is I never got anything from you. If you actually shipped a Dodo when you said you did and It appears at my door in a month Ill send it back to you. I need my Para 2 back while we wait. Im a man on my word and I hope that you can step up and honor your part.

This is a very good indicator something is fishy. He very well knew the risks of having a knife sent to him that was illegal to CARRY. You accepted responsibility when you agreed to trade and "send" the package. Time to grow up.

We'd all love to see photos of the customs forms. Dates, item descriptions, destination, and value. How will you have lost knives? He will be at a small financial loss for shipping charges, that's something you accept when trading; knowing the possibility of a reversal.

What if you even offer to cover his end for having to ship back the Para 2? If he did actually ship the Dodo and you get it after he sends back the Para. All and all, it could end up being an expensive trade with just shipping charges, but at least it's a lesson learned.
 
It's a real shame, I hope you do the right thing. If the knives are delayed in transit I hope they show up.

Taking the loss (easy for me to say) because you didn't ship the knives properly would be the right thing. It sucks I know but it's still possible to be part of Bladeforums. This place is amazing and has some really fine people as members. I'm honored continually to be part of this. Along with that is the standards they set and abide by, which they expect others to adhire to.


What Haze said is sad- washing your hands of any responsibility once you ship an item is bull shit, unethical and wrong. Don't engage in the transaction if you don't have a reasonable expectation the item will arrive safely and in a tracable manor.

I've shipped all over the world and take pride in the fact people I've never met sent me money and trusted me. Once I receive payment the burden and responsibility is upon me to deliver.

I actually stress selling more than buying- buying's easy, it's selling, shipping and waiting on the buyers acceptance that give me stress.


Good Luck to all and I hope this works out for the best.

they have told me that showing them a peice of paper will not bring there knives back
if they want to see pics of them email me, the only reason i didnt is because they told me not to
 
Here is my latest communication with James.

"Hey. I wanted to check in and see if there were any updates. I also wanted to ask you to send the Para back to me. If the Dodo were to show up id send that back to you but for now id like you to send my knife back. Theres only one other solution i would accept and that is for you to send me the 135 dollars to cover my knife so we dont have to risk shipping. If you decide to do this just send it as a GIFT on paypal Thanks."

He responded,
"not saqying i would but what happens if i refuse?
also i was talking to my post man and he's gonna call me tonight or tomorrow morning telling me what he was found out"

I would respond saying, You refusing to make this right with me would be a poor choice on your part. I would take every action in my power to see you held responsible for stealing from two of our members. You would lose what reputation you have here on the forums. I would also push for you to be banned from bladeforums and make this public on all other knife forums to ensure you steal from nobody else.Not to mention I have your home address and email address.

Who told you not to show the papers ?

I asked him for the pictures weeks ago. I never told him that i did not want to see the pictures. I still would love to see them. I did tell him he owes me a knife not a picture. He may of taken that as "dont show them"

I say either jamesk007 shows you some paperwork or you start filing a complaint with the postal inspectors hell even call the local police in his home town give them his address and print out all of your communication and fax it to them and show that he's commiting mail fraud against you. you can get him in trouble for this it is a crime just keep a record of every e-mail or communication you and him do, and when he stops communicating with you, which he will when he runs out of excuses then you go to the postal inspectors about this, right now hes buying time trying to think of more lies and excuses of why you don't have your knives.
 
i would also post on every knife forum and youtube, facebook everything his screen name real name address and what he did too you so everyone knows hes a scammer, you can really screw him over here. he just has no idea.
 
We are all going to watch our language from this point on, now arent we.......


I suppose it cannot be said enough around here:

You are each responsible for your shipments, no matter what country you send them to. You are responsible to package and ship them in such a manner as they reach their destination in the condition sent and are responsible to put delivery confirmation,insurance or tracking on the package to help insure that it reaches it's destination and provide recourse if it should not. The sender is also responsible to pursue any inquiry or claim for missing items, although at times it may be beneficial to provide the recipient the authority and ability to pursue the inquiry from their end in the country of reciept. If the package fails to reach it's destination, the sender is responsible to refund the buyer and persue the claim.

Thanks for the response, Im aware that I have all the info about James Kernaghan that I need in order to go after him. I was hoping I wouldnt have to make this personal but his recent emails are telling me hes not going to make this right.
