Has anybody seen this before?
« on: August 11, 2004, 09:33:29 AM »
A member here on BR had two bowling balls for sale. I contacted him and agreed to buy them. Here is the catch, I sent my money order as I always have the next day. The seller then tells me he had a family emergency and could not get the balls shipped out, but would do so the next day. Well, Tuesday comes and he sends me the tracking number so I think everything is cool. The tracking number does not show any info until Friday, and then it just says information transmitted. Now the fun part, the info through the tracking number said the balls would be delivered by 11 Aug 2004. I just checked the tracking number again and now it says "Shipment information transmitted but Fedex does not have possession of shipment". Does it look like I am going to get screwed or what? I have been on here for over 2 years and done numerous deals and have never had a problem. But, I guess if you trade/sell on here for along time its bound to happen. What does anyone think, am I going to get the balls or not?

The family emergency was prior to the supposed shipment of the bowling balls. And I understand, family always comes first. He said he shipped after he got back from his emergency. Will just have to wait and see what happens.

I just got two balls from ProShopKid(had to give him props) and one ball came in like 4 days and the other took like 8. They were shipped out together the same night so indeed weird things can happen and will happen.

Patience is the key lol.
