@HipHopsHooray and I had a trade setup with me sending him SR-71 and some other smaller beers (prairie bomb, KBS, etc.) for '14 Prop and 2015 Rare. I had just witnessed this exact trade done so I knew it was common and doable. He said he needed the SR-71 for a Christmas Eve tasting so I shipped the beer to him and the day that he was to receive the package he cancelled his BA account and our entire conversation was erased from the system and my inbox. He had 8 positive reviews from over two years and communication was good. Even though he had deleted the account, I had left the conversation up on my work computer so I have the whole thing saved as screen shots now. He had sent me a FedEx tracking number but it was just a label and was never confirmed as an actual shipment. Obviously, SR-71 is a big beer to find so it's more than annoying losing this, so hopefully, if nothing else, I can just retrieve my end of the deal. I do have his name and address if that info is needed. I also have a list of people who gave me positive feedback on previous trades. Thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure if your package is out for delivery still, but if so I'd call FedEx and have them hold it and/or recall it to you. Sounds like if it has been delivered it could be big trouble.
Wow. This is seriously messed up. Definitely try to reroute/hold the package of it hasn't been delivered. Hope everything works out for you.
Agree with others here...cancel this delivery. This guy is a complete shithead and shouldn't get anything from you. If you saw the mess he created today... I'll reimburse your shipping costs. Srs.
@Dbrulet was your box delivered already? Unfortunately, I suspect that it was. IF so, reach out to former trade partners. Do any have an ongoing relationship with him or know him outside of BA? Does his name & contact info match what they have? Is he on FB, untappd reddit or other sites? Do you have a cell &/or email address? Reach out to him at any & all sources. If possible, encourage others who know him to help you with this. I wish you luck.
Update: This guy is named Justin K and the address I sent to is Northridge, CA 91325 which is actually Matador Bowling. He told me this was his work. Luckily, the package was delayed for some reason and was not delivered on time so I was able to intercept the package and re-route it back to my house. I also called the bowling alley and spoke with the manager who told me that Justin "had been causing problems" at work and is no longer employed there. I went on to explain the situation to the manager and he assured me that if the package somehow still was delivered to him, that he would hold and send back. I did find someone with the same name on Facebook and he lives 4 miles from Matador Bowling so that must be him. Thanks for your help on this matter and hopefully nobody else has issues with this guy. I think I got pretty lucky that the usually annoying delivery delay worked in my favor! So, hopefully the SR-71 will be back on my shelf soon!
WoW! I'm sooo happy to read this! Please let us know when the beer is safely home. Your beer karma must be strong! A Happy Holidays to you & may Justin K receive all that he deserves.
I'm curious what further actions BA can use other than banning? Technically, in spamming did he break the law? Serious inquiry and curiosity here not pot stirring.
