Eight days isn't a very long time, especially if he's a foreign source. Still could be legit. Hope it turns out for you. IP: Logged |

I'd give it a couple more days at least. Really, you should wait awhile before calling somebody a scammer (at least 3 or 4 weeks). Did you get refs and check him out with several mods?

7-8 days is still not enough. dont call someone a scammer unless the gear dont show up in about 2-3 weeks for a domestic. even if it was sent already. i deal domestic and it took my package 9 days to get here. so hang tight for a while longer and i am sure he will come through. should have got a delivery confirmation for your shipment so you can track it while in route. it is how i do business with a source. better safe then sorry ..

The guy swears that he sent the stuff, and when I emailed him he replied right away. I guess if he scammed me he would not have emailed me back. I dont know, I have a bad feeling for some reason.. IP: Logged |

I had a package from Canada take about 10 days to get to me. I would be patient. It might have gotten stopped at customs. If he responded to your email, then he's probably legit IP: Logged |

I've personally mailed correspondence to Canada from the U.S. Even using Priority Mail, they said it could take up to a full week -- and it did. Probably works the same way in reverse. Don't sweat it. Give it a little while and don't bug the guy too much through e-mail. It won't help the situation. IP: Logged |

Have some patience bro. I mailed money out is a card and it took two weeks to get there when it usually takes 4 to 5 days. You just cant control the mail system. IP: Logged |

Im not going to mention the dude's name or any other information on him,out of respect to him if he is legit, but If he is not legit, then I already know how I am going to deal with him. If I don't get my package he will get his  If I do get his package then I will be doing more business with him. No, there was no tracking number because he claims he sent it regular mail.IP: Logged |

Wow bro. It's been a whole 7 days?!! Jesus man cut him a bit of slack. You're dealing in the black market in case you forgot. Ever hear of it getting seized, lost, damaged etc.... If I was a source I'd never deal with you again! You're calling him a scammer over a bottle of EQ that is a couple days late? What a joke.... Later, Green IP: Logged |

I know it is hard, but give it some time bro. I had an international order that was promised in 10 days and took over a month. Give him at least 2 more weeks before you call scammer. Even then, talk to some mods or vets in private about it. Don't post his name on here until you are 100% sure, you can ruin a good source. --------------- Bossman IP: Logged |

If it's only day seven and he's returning your emails I don't think you should rush to cry scammer. Give him some time. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Hey you need to wait a little longer. Things happen. Maybe they have other orders. For domestics it takes anywhere from 7 to 12 days at LEAST. It could take a month. For foreign I waited with my mouth shut for 2.5 months. Yeah two in a half months. Email your source.

consider yourself lucky, mexman turned scammer and took me for 350, around Xmas, right after I sent 100 to my good source, but he got busted while he was picking up the gear in calif, never heard from him since, either a scam or a bust. 350 is a hard loss especially when 200 of it was borrowed from my brother, I was fucked for a long time. I don't care how much u trust your source, they can always turn scammer or get busted, SO NEVER SEND MORE THAN U CAN AFFORD TO LOSE!! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Patience is the key word in this affair. Sometimes it takes more, sometimes less. Wait at least for 2 weeks for your domestic source, and even more for overseas shipment. Good luck! IP: Logged |

Jeez bro no offense but it is people screaming scammer 1 day after the quoted time that give some good sources a bad name. 1 day could have just been the postal service taking a little longer then they quoted. IP: Logged |

Homewrecker (sheesh, what a name), I don't know who this guy is , but I deal with 5 top-notch, A-Number One sources in Canada and can't imagine your being scammed by any one of these gentlemen. I would appreciate it if you would email me the details, confidentiality assured, of course. Perhaps I can be of assistance. Dexter ------------------ IP: Logged |
