Well, as most of you know I do quite a bit of buying/selling/trading on this site and have recently begun the same over on Accurate Shooter.
On October 31st I bought a Farley CoAxial rest from a gentleman in North Carolina (Accurateshooter.com). He insured it for $1,000 (I paid $925 for the rest), shipped it the next day and provided tracking info. After processing the rest went from North Carolina to West Virginia to Lexington, Ky in 9 hoursā¦ā¦ā¦and then **POOF**ā¦disappeared. According to tracking it was set to be delivered on November 3rd..showed "Out for Delivery", but never showed up. On November 4th the status went back to "Processing at UPS facility" and it never changed from that. I spoke with my local driver and he told me that the package had been scannned & uploaded to his tablet, but never put into his truck. Here's the weird thingā¦he also said he had backed into my driveway on the indicated delivery day, but when he couldn't find the package on his truck he left. I'm calling "BS" on that one because I was home all day/all night and never saw or heard anything. My 4-legged roving doorbell "Norman" also never made a peep.
On November 8th I spoke with his supervisor and she told me that she and the "security team" would make several sweeps through the HUB and attempt to locate the package (which weighed in excess of 35 lbs by the way). It was NEVER located. I could not file a claim on the package because "I" was not the one who insured it and even if the claim was honored the refund check would be sent to the insurer/seller/shipper. So, I contacted the seller and he filed a claim through UPS and they opened an "investigation." (Insert laughter here) Yesterday, I received a notification that the "Investigation" was CLOSED and more "Merchandise Description" was needed for further action.
Here we goā¦.
So, it appears that a fight is indeed in the making and I'm completely powerless to do anything about it because I'm not the one who insured it to begin with.
Here's a question for you guysā¦ā¦If this was you would you ask the seller/shipper to refund your money and let HIM fight the claims process (since he's the only one who can) or would you just sit and waitā¦ā¦.and HOPE UPS actually sends a refund to the shipper and he actually refunds your money upon receipt?
