Concern with Shipment

[ninesecz]

At this stage, I'm thinking of just avoiding the mailman or anyone knocking with a package like the plague. Also, the PPal protection gig is great, but what could a guy really do? Go back to them and tell them that their member didn't disclose some specifics on the AAS order, so I declined it? I'm pretty much willing to write it off at this stage.

No No No Nothing like that ut lets say you had a source you were going to use... You send them money Via PayPal and never get anything... You put in a complaint with paypal and if the person on the other end does not fix the issue or respond within X amount of days, Paypal pulls the money from his account/Credit Card and pays you back!
There would never be a mention of AAS being purchased but when you send the money I am sure you are checking the box for services or item purchased. See when you open a Paypal account like he has, you have to link it to a CreditCard and / or Bank Account. So if you really want to you could make a legit complaint to Paypal... This situation here is kind of wacky though! I would honestly have not done business with them once they told me I was going to have to sign for the package... BIG RED FLAG IN my book!!

Yeah, the signature is a signed confession. It all seems a little fishy. You buy from a source who wants to use paypal, then tells you it will be shipped UPS.... only to find out later that they shipped USPS? And it will need to be signed for?

I don't want to add to your paranoia, or make this out to be something it isn't, but this sounds like a classic setup from a movie. If it were me, when they show up and ask for a sig, "I never ordered anything"

That's the whole thing, he never told me about a sig. The way I found out was when I traced it and found it on the USPS site. Then when I hit him up, that's when he said they just wanted to make sure I got it. If I would have known up front, I would have passed on it. He stated UPS to physical addresses, which is what I thought would be the case. Thanks So Much!

signature required is the least of your problems because you use pay pal which can be traced back to you(unless you used your mom or girlfriends name)

by going thru west, or money gram you can deny, deny, deny

What I can't figure out is that I have read numerous posts about signatures and buying from reputable places, and the responses are overwhelming with statements that they'll be just fine. Why is it that my lousy $350 beginner cycle is going to create such a ruckus that will be beyond the sliver screen of Hollywood? I'm not accepting the package!!!! Like the Grateful Dead said, "If you got a warrant, then I guess you're going to come in." Also, no Mom or in my case, Wife, is being used. If a $350 one time and only time user is their biggest objective, then God Bless them!

Guys, thanks for all your thoughts. It is what it is, and like anything, we'll deal with it as it comes. Funny thing is, I have traced this guy to a fortune teller site out of London, along with a few other things where it looks like he is just trying to make a buck. I think he's got a link with a supplier in the US (that's his big selling point-'Domestic Shipments'). His email (I would love to reveal, but yep, I know the rules) is pretty traceable with various methods of searching. In addition, PPAl gives out his web too. I think there's a good chance that he is just as much as a newbie at that level as I am with trying to get the stuff. YES, lesson learned!
