    Well, there's a first time for everything. Unfortunately, this guy got a whole box of fresh NE IPA out of me, and I'm getting ripped off. Communication was fine first few days, and we reached a trade agreement. Also agreed on a shipping date of last Wed, which I upheld on my end. I had a slight feeling he might be waiting for me to ship first, but I still shipped on time and sent him all the tracking info, hoping to hear right back. Nothing for 5 days. I finally texted his cell on Monday, and he responded that he would have my box in the mail the next day. Nothing again. My follow-up with him yesterday was answered with "dude, you need to calm down". Finally, after threatening to report ME for harassing him (he has received the box from me, btw), he sent a random tracking number to me, but refuses to say who the shipping provider is!

    Needless to say, I am not expecting to receive anything from @theruckus33. Even if I did, he still broke the trade agreement, and absolutely cannot be trusted. Don't even consider trading with him, ever.

    Well he was viewing this thread 3 minutes ago, so I hope he can explain his side.

    This guy is a hack and am reporting him to mods for harassment. Sent him this tracking record number780909447501 yesterday and yet he still posts this message. I've asked him yo stop texting yet continues to text me calling me a fraud etc.

    When I responded to his "tracking number" text message this morning, asking for the shipping provider, he told me to "figure it out". That's all he had to say. Anyone want to trade with that guy?

    You realize you're not making yourself look better right now, @theruckus33, right? Perhaps not worthy of a bad trader thread, but it sounds like you shit the bed here, not him.

    Well it does seem like he sent you the beer you are waiting for. The messages he sent you seem to be out of line, but at least you aren't out of any beer (hopefully), and you can just move on and not deal with him anymore.

    I think perhaps you should have taken his advice: calm down.

    Calling someone out after six days is jumping the gun, even by my stringent standards, especially in the hyper-ventilating way you've done. Not only that, but he DID send it the next day...the shipping number (which took me exactly two seconds to ID & find on FedEx) shows it was dropped off last night.

    I agree with the poster above. You're not doing yourself any favors. It's definitely not cool to not ship & not communicate for five days (if that's what happened), but don't make yourself into collateral damage in this situation...

    I can show past communication noting the longest communication break was less than 48 hours. This guy is a liar. If people think I'm a bad trader then then I would encourage them to look look at my page and check with past traders, the truth will speak for itself. In the meantime I would ask the moderators to take this post down, and if possible repriman this trader for harassing me

    If the OP had that tracking number last night, there was no need for this thread to be posted. Even if you're unsure about which carrier, start with the "big two" (UPS, FedEx) and paste the number it. It would have taken 20 seconds to do some homework.

    I think you're pretty far out of line here, OP. it would take you 5 minutes to check the 3 sites (and honestly less, that tracking number is clearly FedEx, as each company has pretty distinct tracking numbers). Starting this thread after less than a week and AFTER you've been given a tracking number is a bit crazy imo...

    I appreciate everyone's feedback, both pro and con. Like I said when I began the thread, this is my first and hopefully last negative trading experience. I've had a great experience trading until this point, and the excellent communication each of those BA members used is the standard I've come to expect. This trading stuff is on the honor system, folks. When I don't hear from someone for 5 days after I ship to them, I think it's certainly reasonable to contact them asking if everything's ok with our trade. He said he'd ship after that, and still didn't. Why should I believe him after that? Never an apology or reason for breakdown in communication or delay in shipping. All I got was his attitude. Like I said, he told me to "figure it out" when it came to the tracking info. But again, the feedback helps me out. Thanks to all who chimed in.

    Again he is lying the longest we didNT communicate was from Thursday to Sunday I sent a message on BA Thursday and replied to his text on Sunday. He knows he is out of line, knows it, and is trying to trump up accusations. BTW I told him to report me and that he was out of line, "Too late for you. Your tracking number is worthless without the shipping provider, and you know that, since you never shipped in the first place. Notify whoever you want. I already did." Finally, I told him to quote figure it out, after he had spent a whole day harassing me take that for what it's worth.

    One simple way to see who is lying, one of you should post the string of beer mail messages.

    OP definitely overreacting. But if people just shipped on the agreed upon day it would be a non-issue. Seems this was shipped 5+ days after the agreed upon date. Not saying that's not within the realm of "ok" but really there are very few valid excuses not to ship on day 1.

    Even easier, if you paste only the tracking number without the carrier into Google search, it knows which carrier it is and one click a way is the tracking info.

    OP, you need to calm down a bit.

    Sometimes these bad trader threads expose the OP as bad traders or OPs end up on people's DNT list.

    Intersesting that status of the shipment says " In Transit" "Shipment exception" below that.
