    He's an opportunist looking to take advantage where he can.

    Check out this thread. Apart from the OP calling him out, there are 3/4 different people calling him out in the same thread, for nefarious underhanded nasty shit.
    The guy is beneath comment. He doesn't deserve our energy but its necessary in order to protect others from falling for it.

    Well, he says he shipped over ten days ago now, with tracking. In that time I've received tracked items from much further afield than him. I'm gonna give him til Wednesday next, just so I'm completely sure. Then if it doesn't show, I'll make another thread calling him out on expressobeans(ill be the fifth or sixth person there to have done this, think its four people here he's screwed, or tried to.).
    It's almost worth making the loss at this point, just so others are aware and song deal with him.
    It's crud like this that ruins the whole experience and trust we all work upon.
    Wish you could see the PMs he sent me over on EB. I shouldn't laugh, he's clearly either a little slow on the uptake, or playing that part to take advantage. But having seen multiple people have the same difficulty, I'm not buying it at all.

    Ill update either way. Even if it arrives I suggest you all avoid any offers of trade or sale from him.
    We'll see what happens.

    has he given you the tracking number?

    He has yeah, it seems to have stopped in Illinois about a week ago and nothing further. It could still arrive, just it's weird it stops there and nothing else. Backlog from the winter storms? Possibly. Everything else has gotten through though. I dunno.

    Knowing him, he probably sent an empty envelope with tracking to somewhere in illinois.

    Are you international? When ive sent out packages it goes though Chicago and then no more tracking info. I literally just had someone contact me after waiting for a package for almost two months. The tracking info stopped at Illinois. I contacted the postal service and was rudely informed that after it leaves there then its in the hands of customs. She said it could take two days,weeks, months etc. and they have no way of telling where it is at. I contacted the person I was trading with and we decided to give it another week or two before I'd take the hit. Long story short, they received the item after about 2 and a half months due to customs in Italy and were happy. Tracking info still shows Chicago....

    Hopefully it's being held up in customs..

    This is just an observation from my experiences, but it seems many US shippers are either misinformed by USPS staffers and/or are under the impression the US Customs form number is a valid tracking number when it's not. It appears as though the US Customs form number is traceable while inside the USPS system; however, once it leaves the States that number is useless.

    Thanks Punkmatt.
    Similarly, when a registered item leaves Ireland, it can't really be tracked online but I can call customer service(as I had to recently) and they were able to tell me it was last scanned in a sorting office in JFK, where all mail from/to here from the US goes through, able to tell me the time it was scanned and also able to tell me there was a backlog owing to the bad winter storms that affected the east coast US. The item did eventually get delivered withi that week.
    Stuff does get lost but its a whole lot harder for it to, if its registered. Someone just sending a registered item to the last point checkable is a new one on me. From here, I can follow items to the door. Too bad it doesn't work incoming.

    It seems to be in a sort facility in NYC now. So that's a movement I think? It's headed east anyways :)
