Ripped off by Bark River

So, the Post Office lady goes down there and they deny knowledge of the package. Funny says she, as it was signed for on the 30th of March.

US Postal Inspector is going down there very soon.

Meaning? Who's "they"? I thought "The check was in the mail." If "they" is BR and "they" deny receiving the returned goods (neverthelesss "signed for on the 30th"), why did "they" put a check "in the mail"?
 
It doesn't really matter the why or why nots of Bark river. The first step in confirming fraud theft, or what ever, is to determine that they received the returned items.


There still could be other issues, maybe it was misdelivered, maybe they were lost, maybe the check was sent AND lost, who knows.
 
Is this the same Mike Stewart that was involved with Blackjack Knives (the original Illinois company) a few years ago? I seem to recall that there were postings on GB&U at that time about a Mike Stewart. Please correct me if my memory is wrong.

Err, I thought that its patently obvious. There wasn't a cheque...

Sorry I was not clear. I thought you were reporting that they falsely claimed NOT to have received the returned goods AND that the check was "in the mail." I wondered why they would have sent a check (or cheque) if their position was that you had not returned the goods.
 
I called Escanaba Post Office again last night, when I spoke to the lady there she said that when she asked what was going on they denied knowledge of receiving it. She then said that when she mentioned that it seemed odd becasue she was holding a copy of the signed for receipt in her hand they 'Didnt want to discus it further' (Her words not mine.)

Draw your own conculsions, I'm just waiting for the cheque or the Postal Inspectors to attack.
 
Even if I were to give full credit to the accuracy of your statements (No insult intended. I simply don't know you.), I lack information necessary to draw any conclusions about your accusations of criminal activity. Items sent through the mails do miscarry on rare occasions. I got a money order addressed to my neighbor in the mail today. (Now, he has it.)

I do find it strange that they would both deny that they received the returned goods and claim they send a check to reimburse you for what you paid the wholesaler. Typically, the position would be, "We never got the goods so we aren't paying."
 
There is a signed receipt on the EMS label to say they have taken receipt of it. Its available online here.

I have that info, the Post Office have it and BRKT have it. The info sent to me via a PM from MS saying he has sent the cheque was only seen by me. Thats why he can clam up in from of the PO Lady because she hasnt seen that communication from him to me.

As to my integrity regarding this situation, why not ask the people at Chris Reeve Knives, William Henry, Wilson Tactical, DMKnives, David Winston, Gene Ingram, Roger Linger & Mike Fuller how I am with paying bills, they will tell you that they are paid the second I get the bill in full each time. I expect the same from another business when it has been agreed to.

"Send them back and I will give you a full refund for what you paid for them"

I did, BRKT havent yet, but hey, its only 7 weeks and counting...

Just to save people from searching, I hope it works and is ok for you.
 
Temper.

I guess it is wrong of me to put this back to the top but I have to.

I can not take a side in any of this because I do not know or have not done business with either of you.

From what I have seen and read on this board you spent numerous posts over weeks and weeks to trash this company. And then you feel it is acceptable to close out the issue with a single sentence. You went from accusing them of crimal activity and then close it out with that. I jsut dont see how those 6 words even begin to balance the scales after all you claimed and accused.

And if a first money order -- sent to the same address -- somehow "didn't arrive," the delay would be understandable -- and a second money order would have been sent on faith.

But none of us really know anything of our own personal experience.
 
Well if you actually read through all of the posts including the thread linked and didnt skip stuff. You would see that I said I didnt want this to be a shit slinging match and refused to post pictures for the general populance to see. I actually thought I was quite restrained and it did take a lot of calls and email to get sorted. But the only thing that seemed to work was a couple of visits by the local PO to BRKT and the threat of the Postal Inspectors taking action.

People often talk about post being lost. I have lived abroad since I was 20, I have lived and worked in Italy, Holland, USA, Japan, Hong Kong and spend other extened periods in other countries not working but using their mail system adn guess what? I have never had anything fail to be delivered from any of them, so when people opine that its probably lost in the post, that equated BS in my book.

Now, is this enough text or do you want me to add a dot-to-dot and some pictures for you to colour in too? ;)
