Hi guys, am glad to see that the vibrant discussion on this forum has resumed so quickly, despite technical glitches with the old server.
Anyhow, I have a general query relating to the Radio-Room Vostok orders which many of us placed previously with a certain Ebay seller (Miniwing1). Like many on this forum, I placed my order for 27 (yes, 27!) Radio Room Vostoks with Rob on November 10th, 2005. Despite a lengthy exchange of emails throughout November and December, 2005, the watches did not arrive here in Canada. In late December, 2005, after numerous follow up emails and phone messages to him, Rob advised that the package had been returned to him, due to an unspecified problem with Canada Post.
Thereafter, I specifically asked Rob to re-send the shipment, only using Registered mail with USPS (which I was willing to pay for). As of the date herein, I have not received the package, and despite repeated requests for Rob to send me the tracking numbers, he has been either "out of town" or for other reasons unable to provide me with the tracking details.
While I am inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt, given his otherwise solid reputation on Ebay and his transactions with others on this forum. However, I am getting a bit antsy about the whole ordeal, particularly given the lengthy delay. Given that it is well over three months since I made payment, all of the Paypal/Ebay buyer protection mechanisms are unavailable.
Do you guys think I should be concerned, particularly given the fact that I have received nothing whatsoever to confirm that the shipment is on its way, other than Rob's good word. Nor have I ever been contacted by Canada Post advising of an item being returned to the US sender.
Has anyone else had similar issues (particularly fellow Canadian buyers)? Or am I just unlucky with packages? I should mention that since the start of this matter, I have received well over a dozen other packages from other US seller, which were all sent subsequent to the November 10th, 2005 date.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciate it.
