Dear all, I would like to share with you my experience with the proxy service offered by one of our fellow members. Before that I would like to thank "mainy" our senior member to help me out with shipping of 2 polo sweaters from the States (Polo does not ship to Canada).

Mainy responded to emails very fast and posted my stuff promptly. From the arrival of the items to his place to his shipping them out was only a week's time. Very appreciated!!!

However with another fellow member, I must say I am very very upset. His replies are in red below.

11-24 my 1st request sent to him -> replied ok
11-28 placed my order with Polo and gave my shipping address
12-6 asked him for postage so I could pay him -> item arrived his home
12-7 placed an order with Bluefly, asked him to wait to ship out together -> no problem, was about to run to the post office
12-14 order from Bluefly arrived
12-15 -> received both, will ship out this week
12-20 -> apologized and promised to ship by 12-23
1-6 -> my stuff is blocking his way, please pay first
1-6 asked for his paypal info
1-7 -> gave his paypal info
1-7 sent postage + proxy fee (more than what he asked for)
1-7 -> said he received the $
1-15 asked if he sent them out
1-17 asked if he sent them out
1-18 -> apologized because he was busy, will ship out this afternoon
1-19 -> said he did not sent them yet as his address appeared in the billing address in the bluefly receipt
1-20 told him I have no idea but showed him my credit card statement that the order has been charged on my card already
1-23, 25 asked if he sent them out
1-26 -> will send them out tomorrow
2-1,3,6 asked if he sent them out
2-6 -> shipped out today, will give tracking no.
2-24 asked for tracking no.
2-25,26, 3-1 asked if he sent them out

What do you guys think I should do? It has been about 3 months...

You waited 3 months to post this? You have the patience of a saint. The people demand justice.

This thread can only end well.

Let's get on with it, shall we?

That's quite a long wait - I commend you on the patience you've had as I probably would've taken more drastic measures earlier on. I say you give him/her 24-48 hours as a "last call" and let them explain themselves on this thread or via PM and, if not, then go public on this thread.

The first thing you need to do is look into a Paypal claim and hope it isn't already too late.

I've been waiting for a package to arrive that was shipped on the 2nd of last month. I have had stuff take a while but this is begining to test my faith.

To date I have never had a issue with anyone on this board and suspect that I never will but shipping/proxies can drive one crazy.

Does anyone else secretly hope that Conne is somehow involved in this?

I would have spent extra to travel to his location to settle this in person after 2 weeks.

Hi guys, I think its time for me to disclose this gentleman's user name. I still did not receive anything from him. The time that he said he would send the stuff by that Saturday was Mar 6 - almost one month ago.

his are in red:

total US$178.83 (bluefly 81.89+7.95shipping, polo 62.66, paypal 26.00). these figures can easily be found on the all the receipts.

don't bull **** anymore, including you say the money i sent to you is not through. you are wasting my time.

His profile says he is 17. Don't call the cops, call his parents.
