Unhappy Need help....

Hello,

Some time ago I bought 928 S4 brakes from sty3x. I still haven´t recieved them, I had contact with him about this, and he said that he sent them, that´s now 3 month´s ago. I payed him 20 December 430 $ with Paypal. I have tried contacting Paypal about this but they can´t do anything. (you have to claim it within 45 days after you payed the person). I live in Holland. Normaly when I buy something in the States it takes about 1.5 week to get here.

I normaly don´t go this route of posting things like this in the forum, but I don´t know what to do.


Etienne

I have asked many times for a tracking number but he won´t give it to me. It´s sent with USPS.

Don't know if Holland is the same, but when we lived in Belgium we had many times when a package was shipped to us and held either at postal customs or at the post office itself, and then eventually returned to the US sender. In every case, the postman claimed he had left us a notice about the package, but in fact he never had. One time, when were trying to track down a missing package, we were able to "catch" it before they returned it by blindly calling and asking if they were holding any packages for us.

USPS, is a royal PITA for shipping ANYTHING but a letter! I had the same experience shipping a watch back to Ferrari in Italy. Never got that...thankfully it got back home. Joey will have to initiate the claim for a lost product and take it from his end.

Etiennekuh, so sorry for your troubles...real PITA!

That sucks.
Isn't that the kid from Texas that almost burned up in his car? Joey Gavenak. Anybody close to him? He hawked the parts here for months, posted as late as yesterday. Seems out of character, but then again...

How about it Joey?

Joey: So why don't you give him the tracking number? Seems like he could deal with customs a lot easier than you can. AND, he already said Paypal won't do anything b/c they claim it is beyond their time limit.

I have had to deal with USPS before, and unless you pay for it up front they do not give a tracking number.
