Work with Bill has been great. Despite the fact that there were some times when Bill got a little busy, it's totally understandable seeing that he got a new job and all. Any impression that I might have made earlier, discard that. While the trade went horribly wrong, it wasn't due to Bill at all. This also being my first trade, Bill was very understanding of what was gonig on.
Edit: My full story.
I agree to a trade with him. An MZ-R50 (non recording) a gumstick charger and 3 used gumsticks for an MT831. I send it out, but don't give him a tracking number. I wait a week and a half. Doesn't arrive. I Check with him. He checks with neighbours. Nobody's seen the package. he says that nobody knocked on the door to ask his aunt to sign or anything. So he checks around some. He tells me to go back and get a tracking number. (Tracking number and him checking around sort of happens simeltaneously.) UPS tells me information about the package.
And I gave him the information. Now, around this time, Understand he is doing his new job. So I give him some time. He says, Ahem, I quote. "Go ahead and file the claim. I believe if it indeed was dropped off here, it was left without a signature and then lifted, a somewhat common occurance around here. "
UPDATE!: Due to me being busy, i've been a bit lax about dealing seriously with this. What happned is that UPS shipped it to the wrong address! Messed up with the zipcode. In my opinion, Bill is officially cleared of any wrong doing.
To tell you the truth, this situation was exagerated with my incredible incompetence with shipping (This is the first time i've ever dealed with UPS in my life) and Bill was very understanding and I know i've reacted inapropriatley. In light of Bill's vow not to trade with anyone he can't drive to, i'd fully support this. Not because Bill is at fault. It's because that UPS is the devil, just like JPELGW (Typo?) said.
