Funny, you said you sent them more than a week ago (even thought you were supposed to send them the week before that). Yet I get an email from this Michelle person that said they just mailed them. That's odd. I'd think a kid like you going to a rich private school could tell the difference between the past and the present.
How played in your land tax? have a scan?
Basically, everyone said the important stuff. Being that you have zero feedback, no one's going to touch this with a 100' wang
Well I finally got the guy to reply after telling him i was getting the admins involved. For the record Griffin van de Venne (gravemole) is a straight up liar. After asking him for more than a week where the DC#, he finally gave it to me. He mailed yesterday according to DC#. That's 12 days after the day he said he would. I'm not the only one with the problem either, Daniel Brooks is having a similar issue with him. Promised him DC, Insurance, simul-sent but Daniel hasn't gonna the cards or a DC# either. I'd be wary of trading with gravemole until these trades go through.

If you're referring to your open trade for the sneak/fetch, he states on his profile he will simul send. I'd personally bring it up, and ask why he didn't.
Then base judgement upon that. If he doesn't communicate at all, ping him for feedback. Let him leave yours, then neut him. Don't be an ass in your comment, just state the facts. I've certainly had a few times where its been a couple days before I could mail stuff, but I do my best to tell whoever I'm trading with that. All in all, I'd base it on how he interacts.
The 2 week thing, is how long you need to wait while something is in the mail. I've had a few packages go missing, and some that have went wayward. I had a domestic package take almost three weeks, and I was tracking it the entire time. It went across the country and back, before finally heading north to washington. Was a mess, lol. Tracking prevented it from being an issue though, just a pain in the ass by the USPS.
I've messaged him since he said he mailed asking about DC and if he really in fact mailed. He logs on and read's my messages, just doesn't have enough decency to respond.

He did NOT leave me a tracking or delivery confirmation number.
Kevin asked if I was talking about him. I said "no, you (Kevin) gave me a tracking number."
Like dude stated, with box mapping everyone's paranoid now. Pretty much sucks now if you have unopened packs of anything. Honestly, it would be better to just open them. Course that's just my 2¢
Nahhnope wrote:Deckbox FAQ says to allow two weeks for shipping within the US. I'd go by that for feedback.
I use the tracking number for my personal use and don't share it in the trade chat unless they specifically ask for it. Purchasing tracking on your shipment is to protect yourself from scams, first and foremost.
I disagree with the two weeks thing. Two weeks before you open a case about it the item missing. To me, if you aren't going to ship when you say you are, that makes you a liar. I think that's something more people should be called on. Lying about anything during a trade should be an automatic 0 feedback.
As for delivery confirmation tracking, I believe you are wrong. If you want to be protected from scams and so forth, you need insurance with signatures. The USPS is not Paypal, they could give a shit if you have DC. Getting USPIS to actually do something about a single "Lost" item is pretty difficult (unless the address has several fraud reports), especially with DC as your only proof. Delivery confirmation does nothing to prove that someone else didn't steal the "buyer/scammer/persons" mail after the mailman dropped it off. I've deal with the USPS first hand concerning such matters, so don't think that DC is really giving you protection. I give DC to my buyers/trade partners so they know when I shipped, and when they can expect to receive the package. I can't see a reason at all why you wouldn't share the DC # with them. That doesn't even make sense.

Nope, you told me you weren't mailing until Tuesday and you gave me the confirmation number.

If you both clearly agreed to send on the next day and then you get your cards a week late post marked several days after agreed upon, then you should mention something. But I still wouldn't give neutral feedback without communicating with them. And I would only give negative feedback if you never received your cards.
On Aug 28 I shipped my cards and gave them the confirmation number. They said I caught them a day late (whatever that meant) and it would be another day before they could mail theirs. So, that means they should have gone out on the 29th, yes? Instead they ended up going out on Sept 4th (according to them). They didn't give me a DC # either, although that's what they have as being required for anything over $30 in their profile.

I understand that people are busy, but it only takes 30 seconds to tell me that. Don't tell me after the fact that you've decided to go out of town or something instead of sending my cards (when they knew I mine were already in the mail) I think there's a bit of an issue. At the very least I think people should tell you if they aren't going to send right away. It's basically a business transaction, people should treat it as such.
What do you guys think the reasons for leaving zero or negative feedback are. Recent dealing are making me lean toward one or the other. People shipping a week after I have seems unacceptable. Especially when they didn't tell me before hand that they weren't going to ship immediately.
I'm guessing its worth less that $160ish, you can buy it straight on ebay for that, and $175 on Amazon. But honestly, you can get one on eBay for <$150 if you wait it out.
Looking to trade my Sp-Mp Kozilek for a NM/N unplayed one (For my collection Obviously) Of course I'm willing to give some value for yours. Please be realistic!
I'm also looking for Primeval Titans and a few other things.

I don't see the rainforest or catacombs in your trade or inventory
You're only offering $10 in trade for oozes?
You might get oozes if you offer more than $10 in trade for them. lol Really, who's going to do that.

Any thoughts?
Thanks.
I'm happy when people have them at all. 70% of the people here don't. They should be added automatically in my opinion.
brightmatrix wrote:Something I thought of this weekend regarding the machinable issue: there are a lot of greeting cards that don't require extra postage that are about as stiff (if not more so) than a toploader with three MTG cards. Perhaps that's why some of us in this forum haven't reported any issues?
Greeting cards cost the extra 20¢. The post office even makes seasonal greeting card stamps (with lots of silly designs for different occasions)
Just go pick up some 20¢ stamps from the PO. Can you really not afford that? Why is it pricing that difficult to understand? It is what it is. Quit being cheap.
ModiHammarstedt wrote:I always use a bubble mailer with 2 stamps.
Never once got it returned, so I never have to worry about it!
You should consider yourself lucky. In any case, you still aren't putting enough postage on it. Bubble envelopes are considered packages (They're usually over 1/4", and if you put a toploader in it, they consider it rigid) At the very least it should be $2.07. That's why most people recommend shipping via Paypal "ship now". It's only $1.69 and comes with delivery confirmation.
Just because they never returned one to you doesn't mean they haven't charged the person on the other end to receive it.

Seriously? I knew you couldn't use them for other stuff, but last time I used a Medium Priority Flat Rate box to send to Sweden, the manager at the post office said I'd be better off just buying one of their other (non-priority) boxes and sticking the flat rate box inside of it and shipping it, so I did, right in front of her - it saved me $20 in shipping.
Seems weird that she'd encourage that, even though I bought a box from them for $3 that way.
He made money on you from buying their over-priced shipping supplies and you were shipping to Sweeden, so he knew they were making money. They probably didn't care about the cost of the box since it was costing so much for you to sent anyway. I'm talking about the people who use priority boxes (supplies) for First class, Fedex, UPS, etc. If you read the terms and agreements for the free USPS supplies, it basically says they own them and are giving you permission to use them with their service. Any other use is stealing.
