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?

Not surprised on either account..

Good luck Doug, maybe you need to get tough on this guy..

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

If it has been shipped why can't he give you the number. I bet some one else shipped it.

What an absolute scam artist.

I do enjoy the two threads in which he tries to sell the ball you've already paid for....increasing the price every time.

It really makes me wonder if you are going to see that ball, or if he has sold it elsewhere already and is just stringing you along.  Didn't think it would be all that hard for him to get you a tracking number.

OK...

Doug, did you get your tracking number?  If so has there been any movement of the item being tracked under it?

I did get the tracking number: UPS number 1za8v2870300107205

But guess what? UPS says it cannot locate tracking information for the package!

That happens if you fill out the ship order on line and the ball is not actually at the ups facility. Once it's there and scanned it, it will show on the tracker

Give it some time Doug, by tonight you should see the tracking number in the system. But of course it depends if he did indeed dropped off and shipped the ball at UPS.

The format for that tracking number is legit -- it should show up in the system once the package is actually scanned at a UPS facility.  Looks like he at least finally printed a shipping label, if nothing else.  That's a start.

Why don't you post the tracking number for everyone to see? You're so intent on listing ball after ball but you can't post something as simple as the tracking number to show anyone who might remotely consider dealing with you that you are in fact completing your end of the deal.

That is up to doug. Contact Him. He can if he wants.

Doug already posted up the tracking #, it's halfway down the 2nd page. Here is that # though: 1za8v2870300107205
