Several PPC cards on Amibench

@Jax
I think we done the right thing. Given the time that has passed, and without almost any communication from the seller, it was the only sane thing to do.

It's been a while since I have realy looked at this thread but anyway. As I mentioned before, when I bought an 060 from Bernd Binder it took ~3 months to reach me and the date on the postage stamp contained the date at which he said he had posted it. So when I paid for the PPC this time (though I dealt with a Tibor but the rest of the details for bank account/address etc was the same) I just assumed it was going to be the same deal.

It also took ~3 months for some Amiga hardware I bought from the US to arrive and again, the date on the stamp was the date I was told it was posted on.

I have to admit though, after reading all that was going on here not long after the bank cheque I sent to Germany got processed, I definately started feeling a tad worried

:crazy:

I think i need a vacation!

How long has it been around about since he sent the cards?

I have a major problem with companies and private sellers who take months to deliver. The problem is that they don't tell you it's going to take ages, even if they know! In my opinion, it is dishonesty on the part of the seller, and a part of the cost of the item.

The seller should be up front about any waiting times beyond one week (inside EU).

ffs, why does it take so long? I can get packages from HK in under 3 days...

[punkpie]

Because they get stuck in customs if you use standard postal.  They might be a bomb you know  I hope I dont have to pay any handling charge if and when it comes...

I just looked through my back emails and I was told it was sent on 11 March 04.  That's only 2 months so maybe I've still got a while to wait.

As I said last night though, at least things are looking up.  :-D

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

This thing ain't over till the Fat Postman sings!

I've been on the phone for several hours today trying to track my parcel. A colleague in Germany helped me by talking to the 'Deutsche Post'. They claim that the parcel had been delivered to Sweden (ie. me) on 23.04.2004.

So, with only a german tracking number I started calling various postal companies in Sweden: Swedish Postal Service, DHL, EMS.
I've been jumping from department to department, but no one can find my parcel. Not a single hit!
So the only thing left, I'm told' is to make a complaint to the Deutsches Post. The only problem is that this complaint has to be done by THE SENDER! And you now how easy he is to find... Furthermore, he can't prove a thing, because I HAVE THE RECIEPT!

@punkpie

I'm not sure I'm that hopefull. yet... Sorry.

So my next step is to try contacting DHL in Germany to see if the parcel passed through their system, and maybe got a new trackingnumber (airbill number)
It's wierd that a large company like DHL in germany doesn't have a tollfree number...  :pissed:

Oh brother. No cards and one receipt. :lol:
The fact remains that none of us all over the world received a single card, so this is still 99.9% rated as a scam, in my book.

[sir_inferno]

*bump*  :-)

any news?  :-(

[punkpie]

This is getting even stranger... :-x

OK.  I've actually come to the conclusion that this isn't a scam.  I'm hopeful of that.  Not unless the entire German/Swedish postal service is invloved.  The only thing I can think of is that the parcels have been undevelivered and gone back to bernd.  Which could well be a scam.

@preacher

Did the German Postal company actually say which address they claim it was delivered too?
