Boos....AKA Grant Bingham...anybody?
« on: October 22, 2009, 12:09:55 AM »
Just posting to let everyone know.....

Bought a 15# Black Widow Venom (3-4 pin with top around 2-1/2 oz) from Grant Bingham (AKA Boos) on here.

Paid for the ball via Paypal on 10/11. Was promised the ball would go right out and was promised a tracking number.

So far I have received nothing.

Any other dealings with this guy?

Well they did here.[/quote]Considering that never happened even once in the entire time I worked at The UPS Store (which is one of the highly-managed-by-corporate franchises so they all operately essentially identically), I highly doubt that's the case.[/quote]

Think what You want. I don't care.

Well, I don't work for UPS or an UPS store but I know if I dropped off a package I usually get a tracking number. Again to clear your name, wouldn't providing Doug a tracking number help your cause? Tracking number?

What I really want is the ball we made the deal for....he was all too happy to take my money into his paypal account. Now that he says he will give me a refund I have to wait for him to get the money into his paypal account because he doesn't use the account that much.

ALl of this could have been avoided with some simple communication....I was told his wife was ill but he also said he'd "get the ball right out though."

I bought a ball from bigz on here AFTER I bought the one from Boos and I already have the Toxic from bigz sitting on the plugging bench with a liquid filled thumbhole.

That's waht got me thinking about why I didn't get the ball yet. Then I looked around on here and I see the same ball with the same specs being advertised for $17 more and then later for $43 more than he was going to sell it to me for.

Again.....communication and being up front with the person you are dealing with could have avoided all of this.

If you do the UPS from your home that is more reason to have a tracking number! Just look at your account and it shows your shipments and tracking numbers! Just a thought!

Wow, I talked with Boos in PM a few time's and seemed like a pretty decent person. Then I find this thread involving him in a deal gone bad plus he's a relatively new user, what a shame.

Doug,

His wife may have been sick last week but it appears that he had time to post almost every day in threads??????  Not saying that she was not sick but you can search his posts and see he was on most days in the past10 days if you had time to post you had time to respond to Doug.  

Man up Boos, send Doug his ball.

Mark

OK here it is 10:20 as I sit here watching the Phillies beat the Spankees :-)

Yet no contact from Mr Bingham.....guess it's time to elevate the Paypal status from dispute to claim.
