Ok, I seem to be having a slight problem with a deal. Basically, he was supposed to ship first. I'm not sure if he did or not. He claims he did. Either way, I tryed to contact him to tell him I haven't recieved his stuff yet, as its taking significantly longer than it should. He won't respond. What should I do?

I say do nothing.

If his stuff gets to you, ship his end of the deal.


If not, you lost nothing.


It's his choice to not respond for whatever reason.

Ok, thats what I was thinking too, but I just wanted to know in case he tryed to slam me with mail fraud or something....

--Meady

No, Meady. Sid's right.

If it comes down to it, do NOT be pressured into sending.

If he sent it in such a manner as to cover his butt and yours (with delivery conf, which I ALWAYS use), you will both be good to go.
If not, then the burden of proof is his own.

Maybe he can send you a scanned copy of the receipt from the post office? It won't have a LOT of detail, but it will say how much he paid for shipping and the city & zip he sent it to... if he's shipping from within the US, that is.

Crud.
I just noticed that you are in Canada.
Is he in the US?

If so, shipping will take a week or two, for sure.
--If not more.

Customs has been taking forEVER lately.

MM is wise beyond his years.

Honestly, MM hit it perfectly.

I recently did a trade that took 5 weeks to get to Canada.
