    I am pretty new to the forum but have done two successful trades. One in person and one shipping. I finalized my third trade on 1/29/15 and shipped my beer a few days after. My beer made it safe after a few days. I was given a tracking number from the other person for a package that was never picked up and the person hasn't responded to me in weeks. I am posting in hopes that someone might have some suggestions. Do I call the guy out? Is there a formal process for this? Just not sure if there is anything I can do. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I agree with the post above. Sounds like he was trying to take advantage of a new guy. Hope this gets worked out. Cheers.

    I did not know about the formal trade request process until after this took place. So no, I do have the DM messages back and forth. I was replying to a trade post of the other person. It wasn't my beer trade request if that makes sense. I guess I will do the post process listed above. Thanks for the help and sorry if this should have been posted elsewhere.

    sucks it happened, it is rare though so don't be discouraged, just check the other persons trade history and do a formal request next time!! Good Luck....

    Looks like Sunday. My beer landed last Friday. So it hasn't been to long but he created a label that was never picked up and haven't heard from him since the 5th so I'm a bit worried.

    And I appreciate the offers guys, no need to send anything. I just wanted to go about it the right way so nobody gets shorted in the future. My only question is how long is long enough before posting as a bad trader?

    No cell number. I have messaged him the last 2 or 3 days just asking for a update and today I stated I was going to post something about not sending. I just find it wierd that someone would go through a negotiation, agree, create a label, give me name and address all to get a six pack and a Bomber of beer that is not super hard to find. Also he has been around for a little bit, longer than me and has reviews, karma, etc...

    It's been a few weeks so I think so. There is nothing worse than terrible communication IMO. Especially after you already shipped and they confirmed receiving said beers.

    Well he didn't say he got it but the shipment shows delivered. After he asked me if I shipped and I said yes with tracking he hasn't responded.

    RiverTramp is the name. The trade was 2 BA blackout stouts and a Jackie O dark App for a 6 pack of zombie and a behemoth Bomber. I can repost the correct way if needed.

    I don't want to sound like a dick, but this guy had no trades, almost no postings and hasn't been a member very long, a high risk trade.

    I hear ya but one could say the same about me. I'll chalk it up as a learning experience and at least he is known now. He was probably going to get someone.

    This is why best practice is to trade with established traders. Traders with no history are usually asked to ship first.

    It's seems as if this individual doesn't care about their actions. I would love to see some sort of resolution because no one should be out beer because some individual decided it would be acceptable to complete such actions. C'mon, @RiverTramp respond and give us your side of the story.

    No extras, I thought I was already a little high on my side from what I thought the beer was worth. So I just sent straight up.
