Re: [meteorite-list] A friendly warning...
Michael, The last time I e-mailed you was about 4 weeks ago. As my message has not bounced back, I believe it has reached its destination. I neither blame you for the loss of the package nor expect a refund. I don't answer every email on the same subject, that is exactly what I am complaining about. It is a matter of Internet savoir vivre. And as you claim you had this problem before, perhaps you should learn your lesson and restrain yourself from shipping via economy parcel post. Kind regards, Jakub Radwan Polish Meteoritical Society michael cottingham [EMAIL PROTECTED] napisał(a): Jakub, When is the last time you emailed me? 5 or 6 months ago? Because this is the 1st time, since our transaction that I have heard anything about this one. Back then I answered your emails. Back then I told you I had shipped it and back then I communicated with you just fine. NO. I don't answer every email on the same subject, especially when overseas shipping can take time ... a long time. I have had this problem before, and I believe everyone finally did receive their item. Maybe, a year later, but that was not MY FAULT! True Story: I sent out several thousands of dollars worth of the Rare Fall, Weston... I sent it out Global Priority Mail. It never showed up. I was surprised because I had never lost a Global Priority before. I sent a replacement.. Registered Mail, Thousands of dollars more of Weston. IT NEVER Showed up. This was to Germany. The buyer thought I was a thief. I thought the buyer a thief. I began to slowly refund the money... I was pissed because I thought I was scammed. About a year or more later, one of the packages was found in the basement of the next door neighbor. They found this package while cleaning their basement. My buyer was not home when the package came, so the postman gave it to the neighbor... and she finally gave it to my client a year later! The second package is still missing in Germany. In the 10 years I have been doing this... I have sent over 20,000 packages. I have over 9,000 (NINE THOUSAND) Positive feedbacks on Ebay, and that is just my ebay business. I have sold thousands of meteorites to hundreds of happy customers. I have refunded every purchase that was lost in the mail or if the person was dissatisfied. Also, there is NO WAY to track your shipment outside the USA. At that time I do not believe that service was available on the way I sent it. ALSO, when you elect to play the Customs Game, that is, no or little value decalred on the item and you want to insure it for the full amount, remember I told you I don't do that. It is illegal. I did recommend that you insure it, but that amount would be declared on the customs invoice and you would have to pay your customs fee. If the buyer elects to have NO VALUE placed on the item, as to avoid custom fees, then they forfeit all rights to a refund. I have had maybe 25 lost packages, (In 10 years) and I believe I have refunded or replaced the items in all of these cases, unless there was some other agreement. In my experience, Italy is the worst place to send anything to... Eastern Europe is second and Germany has sometimes the worst delays.. (Due to Customs). This statement is not intended to be slander or to be mean, but some countries have a terrible postal system, with thieves, delays, and other problems... I am in the business to sell meteorites... not play games. CUSTOMER POSTAL SERVICESELLER. The party in the middle is sometimes to blame!

Dear Listees, As I have tried all other ways to work things out, I believe it is high time I sent a friendly warning. Almost 7 months ago, I purchased a specimen of Campo Del Cielo from Michael Cottingham. As a Christmas bonus Michael offered a 50% discount and agreed to cover freight charges. What was my surprise when it turned out that the package had been sent via USPS's Global Economy Parcel service (the worst ground shipping option out there with estimated delivery time of 4-6 weeks). Needless to say the parcel has never made it, but that is not why I am making this public. The real reason is Michael's lack of respect for his customers. Not only has he failed to provide me with a shipping confirmation as a proof that the package has actually been sent (with all due respect, why should I trust him?), he is also not even so kind as to reply to my e-mails. Of course, I am aware there is no way to get my money back. I just want to warn you. Please think twice before you order anything from the Michael Cottingham Meteorite
Re: [meteorite-list] A friendly warning...
Well, actually it took Michael almost a month to have the item shipped. I believe that is not what we call a timely shipment. As Darren Garrison remarked pertinently, Michael offers very poor customer service as compared to other meteorite dealers. Kind regards, Jakub Radwan Polish Meteoritical Society Thomas Webb [EMAIL PROTECTED] napisał(a): List, I believe Michael makes a timely shipment of everything ordered and paid for. I've never had this problem in the seven years I've been buying from him. Problems with International shipments happen to everyone occasionally.
