Bad trade with dcsoke

Not sure where people are seeing equal fault. One guy ships and 2 bottles break, is willing re-ship. Other guy gets entire package taken by customs because he's too lazy to learn how to ship international, so he says "let's call it even?". WTF!

The absolute least he can do is just send back the bottles that didn't break to the US shipping address.

 

Was exactly how I felt, but im not sure if im missing something...Would be nice if the other guy came here and explained himself..

 

If you offered to replace the broken bottles with a bonus for the troubles then clearly you were open to discussion.

The major problem here is packaging! and filling out childish paper work. Shipping to Quebec is a joke. I agree that shipping a box (costing about 75$ ?) and getting it confiscated is a bitch but it's part of the deal when shipping. The OP even offered a U.S address to make sure it doesn't happen again. Meaning he would have to drive out cross the border and come back with the beer while paying 20% taxes on all the bottles. Sounds like a fair compromise.

 

Did you point out this thread to him?

I ask because he was just on-line, & it always seems weird that people accused of being bad traders don't come in & give their side of the story (if there is one). When the other side avoids a bad trader thread while continuing to use the site, it makes them look guilty.

And yes, the guy should certainly re-send the box, or hit the bad traders list.

 

Any word on what is going on with this?

 

I am talking with them to find an agreement that will make both parties happy.

 

Awesome..Glad to hear

 

He typed in a Canadian accent...now that is friggen cool.

 

Not canadian.. Must be more specific and say french-canadian

That's what it's all aboot eh?

 

A boot? Where?

 

Little update on this.

I was in a conversation with this (bad trader) and finally convinced him to ship a 6 pack. (was originally 12 bottles plus extras) It's better than nothing right?

Then he said that, the specific 6pack wasn't on the shelf but that he was going to the DL day and that he could pick it up.

Next thing I know is that is BA account is closed and no sign of life.

fail...

 

Wow. What a POS. He's still going on the bar trader list, right? Also, does BA track IP's in case of duplicate accounts?

 

I don't think BA does. I wouldn't be surprised if he had his own account closed to open up a new one.

I will still be adding him just so that I have his info if ever that name comes up.

 

What FFF bottles were involved, if you don't mind me asking?

 

Gotcha. Many of the car forums I used to frequent tracked IP's to prevent users from re-offending with new accounts. It's not that you are unable to make another account from the same IP, but if an account is banned/deleted and another account from the same IP pop's up again, then the forum can take action. Of course, these were people that would scam people out of hundreds if not thousands of dollars. I think it's something BA should look into. Is their a suggestion box? lol

 

I'm curious as well. I wouldn't mind pitching in to get this guy his bottles, but I'm in Cali.

 

I'd also second that. It would put more pressure on Dbags to do the right thing.

 

Originally a mixed 12 or random beers from FFF.

Later on just to be safe and at least get something, he settled on a 6pack of robert the bruce.

 

I'm in Colorado but if someone puts a box together for this guy let me know and I will send some Crooked Stave, Avery, and Funkwerks.

 

Cool. I'm going to invite anyone that wants to ship stuff to a private BM so we can get his US address, because I've never shipped internationally.
