It’s back from the dead! The TB Mega Thread.

You are in a tough spot. I'd like to say stand your ground and at this point the worst that can be done is a ding on your feedback and maybe old guy would open a PP dispute.

I'd be all over UPS. Keep calling them till you get the answers you are looking for. If the person on the line can't give you the answer you are looking for,....ask to talk to a supervisor. This is their fault. If the item is lost,...threaten to open an insurance claim.

Have you contacted a TB admin? They may be more helpful. I'm sure they deal with these sorts of things more often than you think.

That right there! UPS has a responsibility to know the location of every pkg in their system (I've done shipping professionally before, fyi); they can't simply say 'sorry' and move on.

What does UPS tracking say as to the status of the pkg?

This's exactly what I was gonna say.

The USPS has never once failed me.

I contacted UPS, they are flagging the package and returning it to me when it comes up. I also refunded the guys money and basically told him to go fuck himself. Fucking self righteous old piece of shit. I fucking hate old people. I'm sorry. They all have this entitlement bullshit and it's unjustified. Fucking dick bags. UGH! Oh well. I did contact an Admin so they are aware of the situation. What's funny is this cock sucker will have to wait until Wed. for the refund to hit his bank. Douche bag.

Just curious...this deal happened on eBay or TB?

On talkbass. Might as well have been ebay.

i'm a fucking old person, and i'd have waited at least until over the weekend for UPS to get their shit sorted out. i mean, shit goes walkabout sometimes on holiday weekends. it's not his age that makes him an asshole, it's his aperture.

[behndy]

but his age makes his asshole aperture super droopy.

which, to be honest, is kinda gross.

Yep.

[MSUsousaphone]

Kinda late in the game, building those fEARful cabs, all day, but I would have told him he could fucking wait. I'm sure TB admins can fix a dick being a dick on your feedback. Cocksucker. I would have made that bitch send it back to me at his expense, too.

[Haki]

Can he force me to do a refund? I mean I honestly do not know what to do at this point. The guy is a 58 year old dude, you would think he'd have a more sense, but apparently not. It's obvious I'm not trying to fuck him out of his money or something here, but he is being very demanding in wanting a refund. How can I give him a fucking refund when I don't know if the head will arrive at his house? I'm just supposed to trust that he'll transfer it back to me, which is what he said he'd do. If that is the case, why can't he just wait? I don't understand.

Given that you have like 45 days to open a PP dispute he could've easily given this at least another week to see how the situation would develop. This sounds more like buyers remorse than anything and he's just using this mishap as an excuse to get out off the deal. Go shove a walker up his ass.
