Hello,
Long story here but I'll try to keep it short.
I placed an order for a Balanced CKK III a long time ago (12 months exactly, if I'm not mistaken Dec 07) and it hasn't reached me. Well there were a lot of problems with the construction and the builder. He was busy, the board fried, required reconstruction and everything.
So eventually it went out to post mid-May 2008. That was 2 weeks after my Balanced b22 shipped from Iraq (Naaman). To my despair, neither amp reached on time. I found out later that the b22 failed to arrive at my Bristol address and was returned to sender sometime later (2 - 3 months, i.e. June, July). So I reckon my address was faulty (although I did receive regular mails) and concluded that the CKK III must've made it all the way back to the sender.
It's bad enough that the post was returned, so I contacted the sender to look out for it. He tells me that he has moved out of his address and changed his mobile number. This means that the postal service has no way of contacting him for returned parcels.
Realistically speaking, the parcel is lost, and so is $500 I sent for the amp. I have contacted the sender/builder regarding this matter, writing up a complaint of missing parcel and everything.
The money is indeed gone, isn't it? I can't demand for my money back because it wasn't his fault, it was sent. It was undervalued to get through customs easy, so I doubt anything can be recovered from insurance. There's nothing I can do, is there?
oh, and Merry Christmas Head-Fi. Thanks for listening.
