Deals Gone Bad - Share Your Story

redmedals · 02-03-2006, 04:50 AM

I have to agree with Ron Boomsma, the piece is not a real Mother's gold star as it was represented to you; so the seller should have given refund.
Unfortunately Matt you have very little recourse being in Canada and you say the dealer is in the United States.
What is compounding this is that if he had you sign something that you did not receive the first parcel he is possibly collecting insurance from the USPS on that package. So if he keeps your money too he is double dipping. And possibly committing a fraud on the US Postal Service by accepting an insurance payment on an item you payed for and have nothing to show for it. And that he has kept your payment. Maybe contact the US Postal Service to report a possible mailfraud. Believe me the USPS takes that very seriously.
Hope it works out for you.
Ron
