Camera looks good. May I have your number to reach you to discuss? Quick question... is the charger the [redacted] or an off-brand, such as [redacted]? Same with the batteries... Thanks.[redacted]'s reply: There's nothing to discuss...you'll either take it for $400 or you won't. If you want to meet, I am free tomorrow. Both [redacted] factory and aftermarket. Ok, I'm at work tonight. You can call me after 9am tomorrow and I am free all day.[redacted]. I'm in [redacted] and prefer a meet nearby. [redacted]NOTE: I called [redacted] and we discussed the transaction. He assured me that this would be covered by inter-state commerce and [redacted] service[redacted] fraud. [redacted]'s reply: [redacted], Here is my contact information for the Certified Cashiers Check...[redacted], NC [redacted].comLet me know once you have sent it so I can keep an eye out for it. Thanks, [redacted]Do you prefer [redacted] or[redacted] for shipment? Packaging will be well suited to protect it for sure. I ship a ton of stuff and have never had any complaints of damages.[redacted] reply: Slight preference to[redacted] I suppose. Thanks [redacted]. Mailed it out today, October 30th. I would guess it will get to you in NC on Monday. Cheers. Sent from my [redacted] reply: Hi [redacted]. How are you doing? Did you receive and cash the cashiers check by chance and do you have any[redacted] shipment tracking information to pass along? Thanks.[redacted]'s reply (Tuesday, Nov 4th): Got it today, my wife deposited it. Once it clears I will ship...should be tomorrow.[redacted]'s reply (Wednesday, Nov 5th): Check cleared...I'll stop at shipping store on way home. Tracking information to follow. Thanks again![redacted] reply: Hi [redacted]. Could you please forward the tracking info? Thanks.[redacted]'s reply: I sent it already, did you not get it? I'll find the slip when I get home tonight and email you.[redacted] reply: Opened all the messages and did not receive a tracking number. Thanks. Sorry for being a bit anxious but would like a little piece of mind.[redacted] reply: Tracking please?[redacted]'s reply: I looked everywhere for the slip from the shipping label I printed but wasn't able to find it. I stopped at the shipping store but they said they have no way to pull it up because al I did was drop it off there. I remember that it is supposed to be delivered by Thursday, Nov **th so let me know when you get it. I would expect it by Friday, Nov 15th at the latest. Thanks, [redacted] reply: Thanks. I will let you know when it arrives, but please put yourself in my shoes... it's a little stressful sending a $400 cashiers check across the country and not hearing back, especially after requesting the tracking number via multiple emails and even calling a few times. Cheers. I will look for[redacted] on Thurs/Fri.[redacted]'s reply: I apologize, my schedule is kind of hectic and I don't always have Internet access on the road. Just an FYI, I leave for Tennessee on Wednesday and will be there through Sunday. I don't know what kind of cell coverage or Internet access I will have so please give me some time to reply to emails and calls. Rest assured that I will get back to you as soon as I am able.[redacted] reply: Hi [redacted]. It's late Friday afternoon and[redacted] did not deliver. I called[redacted] and they say that there is nothing in their system from you, your address, the[redacted] store, or to my delivery address.If you say that you printed it out, there should be some type of numbers on the electronic receipt. If I print something and ship it, I can log into [redacted] or [redacted] and see the tracking number.So what exactly are we to do now? Did you scam and de-fraud me? Did you even ship it via[redacted]? Its been more than a week since you said that you shipped it. -[redacted] reply: Ok, two things....first I am aware of the day of the week. I got in late last night and this has been my first opportunity to answer emails. Second, do not make threats against me about things getting real.Now onto the pressing issue of what is going on with the shipment. You will not find anything with my return address because I used yours for both the to and from address. This is common practice and has never failed me before. The shipment also did not originate from [redacted]. I shipped it on my way home from work and will have to check tomorrow to see what they consider the town. I will stop there again (3rd time) and see what more I can gain from them.If I am unable to get resolution by the end of the week I will send you a refund. Now if that does not ease your mind then I don't know what more I can do for you. I advised you last week that I was going to be out of town and that I would get back with you when I reProduct_Or_Service: [redacted] x100 [redacted]Order_Number: Serial # [redacted]Account_Number: $400 cashiers checkDesired Settlement$400 refund of my original payment that was sent.Business Response A refund has been issued in regards to this matter.
