I want every one to know the real truth. The item that I payed for never arrived at my location.
The tracing number showed that It was delivered , but It never did arrive. Then i called the post
office and found out it was lost and uninsured. It is not very*responsible to sent out a package
without insuring it, and when it dos get lost or stolen expecting me to pay for it*any way. That's
not how it works. I would have responded sooner if I had known about this sooner. I think there is always two sides to ever issue.
I just wanted every one to know the real truth about what happen.*Thank you for your time.*
I guess the manner of shipping is somewhat up to the buyer as well mate, did you ask for insurance ? I make this consideration all the time when buying online, sometimes it is work the gamble but in al honesty I would probably NOT want it on a $25 sheath.
me generally.... and I am not generally thin skinned but your attitude (as a forum representative) in addressing a polite response from me to the poster is a poor reflection.Who cares what you want?
Who cares what you want? Insurance has nothing to do with the buyer. It is there for the seller to recover his money if the carrier fails to deliver the goods.
Whether or not the package was insured, the seller owes the buyer a new item or his money back if the original shipment did not arrive. Insurance means the carrier will pay for the failure, not the seller.
In this case, the seller got caught in a double trap, not rejecting gift PayPal, and sending to an address other than a confirmed PayPal address. Al won't make those mistakes again. I hope none of us do, either.
Of course, we realize this buyer is just a scammer.
Oh, please. Allow me to assuage your wounded sensibilities.
"Who cares what you as a buyer want? Insurance has nothing to do with the buyer. It is there for the seller to recover his money if the carrier fails to deliver the goods."
Glad you got paid Al, but what is even more annoying is when someone enters into a deal and fails to hold up their end of the bargain. I cannot understand what it is with these people somehow try and jusatify their theft. It really is pathetic.Jeff Robinson paid just nowafter 25 days of emails and phone calls.
Thanks for paying Jeff

Ed, my view is that the shipment DID arrive at the address chosen by the buyer according to USPS scans, thereby shifting the responsibility of delivery from seller to buyer. In other words, once the package arrives at the intended destination, the seller has kept his side of the bargain. If , after arrival the package goes missing while under the control of someone at that address , I fail to see where the seller had any responsibility for that. Other than that I agree with you.
To further speculate, had the seller insured the package and then under these circumstances, submitted a claim, I think USPS would deny the claim on the basis of proof of delivery at the address chosen by the buyer. There would have been a signature of the receiving individual maybe so , maybe no, depending on the insured value (black label), or pre authorization for the USPS carrier to sign for packages at that address given by someone in authority at that company, or some other odd thing I don't even know about.
