Man that sucks. Well, you've done your part by warning us therefore this crowd will loose at least a couple of sales.
If I saw anything for sale from this guy I will now stay away. He won't get any of my money.
MyMopar: Good question, if it's a signed parcel isn't Fed-Ex or "X" delivery service liable?
If no one is there to sign it and it has to be signed, surely the delivery people are at fault.
I always sign my parcels with "STI" Subject To Inspection. I usually inspect it on the spot, no matter how busy the guy is who's delivering it. 1-2 minutes to check the package is better than 1-2+ months trying to get my money back. But I now know all the delivery guys and I've told them never to leave any parcel if I'm not there. They leave a calling card and I call them or the post shop. They either come back later that day or I go into the post shop.
Shipping & handling is a
HUGE part of our hobby, take care out there lads.
