Same.

It's possible?

Yea, Amazon claims to be crediting my account. Leaving poor feedback once this is done since seller didn't even give me a song and dance, just said "here"

I just emailed them for an update since it should have arrived on the 18th. I mean this is obviously some kind of scam but I want to see if anyone (like me, specifically) would actually get the pedal. Here's the response

"Dear Seedy,
Thanks for your time.
I had just checked your order, it shows it is with on time shipping by Hong kong Post, and it needs 10 to 20 business days to get to you, and from our carrier's update, sorry this item was lost in the mail, sincerely apologize for this hassle.
Would you give us one more try to send you a free replacement or if you want a full refund, let me know, i would answer to your call."

and I said
"I still want the item. Try again."

So, we'll see.

Water&Wood: Claims that it shipped, but likely lost if it hasn't arrived by now. Offered and processed a refund within 24hrs of contact.

Docooler: Offering a refund or to send a replacement from "the new batch", but that those won't for arrive for 2 months. Not clear if that's two months to them or two months two me - either way, they are still listing the pedal for sale, if you try to order one Amazon says it will be delivered by the 19th. They've also changed some of the details from my original order to make it look as if it was shipped via USPS.

HSL: Within a single sentence they claim that according to their tracking info a) the order is on time, b) it's going to take 10-20 days to arrive, and c) sorry it's lost in the mail.

Money laundering? Maybe. Or maybe a means of raising short term capital?

Essentially the same email I got from HSL - other than the last sentence, word for word.

I suspect it's "get money, see how many people don't request refund or give up"

Guess what? The Caline Time Space pedal arrived today. I got a refund from Amazon like 3 weeks ago but I got it. I guess I should pay them?

This is just an update to say that your pedals may well arrive.

I doubt Amazon cares about 8 bucks but it'd be the honest thing to do. :)

Good news you got yours!

I never bothered to get a refund or anything so I'm really hoping this happens. I honestly forgot I had ordered them.

Nothing today, but I don't check the mail unless the maid is here or I have real cause.

At this point, given the time it's taken....I wouldn't have any guilt for a free pedal.
