Well you know Chavez_e_Chavez, keep the measly 68.00....Ill close the the claim..I just dont want to deal with you ever again...My advice to anyone buying stuff on fish forums is to learn from my mistake...
1. Make sure the item is 100% insured before purchasing it...<--which was never discussed in this thread
2. Make sure the seller use a unmarked box or flip his box inside out to prevent theft...which rarely happens
3. Make sure you paypal them and not take the gift option....Paypal will not give you back your money if you use ...
4. After item is shipped, make sure to ask for the tracking number, and the weight of the box
5. Make sure to ask seller for the exact weight of item shipped and make sure item is secured with proper packaging materials...
6. Make sure to take your time at the post office and dont rush for your item... It will always be at the post office which I learned the hard way...
7. Make sure to inspect the box, look at the weight and make sure everything feels right before letting the USPS worker zaps it with his gun, and if you have to.. open it at the post office
8. If you opened it at the post office and everything looks good.,...then accept it... if it doesnt..dont accept it...
9. DONT BE KIND ABOUT CONFRONTING THE SELLER, if you did not receive what you purchase....THEY WILL ONLY TAKE IT AS A WEAKNESS AND USE IT AGAINST YOU!
10. Report it ASAP, and gather all the needed information for your case.... In this matter... I have a family member who is a laywer who actually wants me to push to get the 68.00 back....He says by providing information such as Date occured, Name of Clerk who gave you the box, their ID number, their cell phone if theyre willing to provide it, the post office address, the post office direct phone number, and a written statement with USPS worker signature stating that YES the box you received was lighter then the actual weight printed on the receipt (which is like the one MR. CHAVEZ showned up there/thats the first time Ive seen that receipt as well)and submit those information to paypal. This will help paypal side with your case....
Im just so worned out about this matter...that I have decided...I no longer want to argue with the seller...Im just gonna avoid him in the future at all cause... LESSON LEARNED...
