Villains (Buying/ Selling/Trading)
-
@Shelby999 So…Canada Post has no record of the incoming shipment, but you have record that it has left the Norway postal service?
It sounds like it’s sitting in a warehouse to be processed by Canada Customs. I’ve had packages spend an eternity waiting to be admitted into the system. One of the things you can do, is to use the Canada Post tracking service and see if they will launch an inquiry into the status of the package. You may have to go into a physical location of a Canada Post Office (not an Canada Post outlet) to launch that inquiry.

Sometimes international shipments have sat waiting for information from the shipper. It could be worth calling the shipper that currently has possession to see if they need something from him. In one particular case, they needed input on the contents, but they permitted me to fill out the form since I was importing it.
Turns out fountain pen ink was considered a potentially hazardous liquid...

Okay, thanks for your input. Yes, CP has no anticipation of the shipment, but parcelsapp.com says they will be the carrier. I don't know if it has left Norway. All of these things have been dealt with by the seller, in my experience: I have previously been informed by a shipper that it was the seller's responsibility.
However, in this case, I will "launch an enquiry" at a CP office.
Thanks @goosehd and @pechelman. -
It turns out that DHL has handled it, despite the Posten Norge start. This was not how Posten Norge have previously done business in my experience, so I was not aware of their handoff to DHL, nor a need for me to pay their "handling fee," so I did not anticipate it. The result is that they've "returned to the Shipper" on July 16. Hajduk must have it, accordingly, but how would I know without his response? He does not reply to any of my messages. I hope that he's alright.

Am here guys. Too much quiet these last weeks. Sorry. Am all good
This happened today on my Norwegian post app:
Like 8 weeks later shipment is back to me
Impossible to know why. None infos since shipment left Norway and today. @Shelby999 -
I will pm u @Shelby999 to make the shipment again. Shipment went to Canada. And no idea why sendt back to Norway.
-
Yes, a complete lack of information, Hajduk. I'm happy to hear that you are alright. Let us try it again. Please advise.
-
It took 4 months, but the vest has arrived: Hajduk has redeemed himself. All is (finally) well.
-
Merci guys. But especially big thanks to @Shelby999 for his patience and for staying pretty calm with this shitty situation. Again, very sorry. To everybody.
Voilà, I managed to do my villain in my own way and importantly, managed to fix that shit best as possible. Lesson learned. -
Listening to J.J. Cale right now, Hajduk. Anyone who promotes J.J. has got to be a good guy. Merci beaucoup! Kevin

Be wary of selling to new joiners who their first message is to you on the day they join. Had two in tow days.

@Gavin666
I fit that category but didn't message you but did others as I'm looking to add a few pieces to my collection. I'm not sure it's all that uncommon is it? I was looking for a CPO shirt and some flannels and just discovered there was a BST forum so joined to buy some things. Not sure it's really risky as I'd pay Venmo or PayPal F&F and don't think there's any way to claw that back, especially Venmo. Just adding my two cents here as I'm brand new. Happy to verify anything with anyone. -
@Gavin666 please state here why and who they are, if you think it’s something that needs to be addressed by the Mods. If you are not comfortable posting the information here, please message us privately.
We do not tolerate scammers and they will be removed immediately.
Please note: We use discretion when deciding who is a scammer. On occasion it’s just people who haven’t figured out our system or are used to making deals. That is truly between the sellers and potential buyers. We will not get involved in those situations.

@goosehd hi Goose. I had two people join immediately and messaged me saying they were interested. When I replied heard nothing from either and neither had sent a message nor posted anything else. They could well be ok as another person mentioned but it stunk of the Facebook - “is it available” starting message. Just want to make sure no one gets caught out, etc.

Heads up to all who just contacted the mod squad regarding a user named “adam” who was using the “hey, I see you’re looking for, please contact…” outside of the forum scam.
Thank you all! Special thanks to @chillmonroe and @bluemantra for alerting the mod squad regarding this
We can’t do what we do without your help.
