Still though .... very useful that his experience was posted.
I just read it in the flavor of ....
'don't know if this always happens ..but I sure got burnt with no
recourse with this company, so be careful. "
I'm sure glad to get the warning.

and I can imagine the upset on both ends of the deal..
one guy no seat, the other no money. ..makes for a real mess.

when I ship by post office, I always invest a few shekels in insurance..
that way USPS can track it.
the one time I took a chance and mailed a rare carb jet, that I had
saved for 30 years to a guy, with the Post Office,  ..
I didn't insure it ....
the guy said he never got it..
all I could easily do is just return his money and take the lesson.
fortunately it wasn't a big expensive lesson.
