    Wow, he can take time out to attend Polk Fest but can't take time out to ship the item. I've met Lightman and we've had some exhcanges, etc. But no excuse can cut it. You 'eff'd up big time, now it's time to man up and throw yourself at the mercy of CP and hope your rep hasn't been tarnished.

    You are a tard..............WTF are you talking about? He is being chastised. There is no rule stating someone has to be expelled for a difficult sale. :rolleyes:

    I agree he needs to man up, i just dont know him personally so i cant really give much more. It will get cleared up and he needs to get left honest feedback. Thats they way it works around here

    Damn Russ, what were you thinking. Get out of the bushes, get the damn box shipped or make the refund, then drive to buymesome's house and make his lawn dry forever.

    You're an idiot.





    Honestly, it doesn't excuse it but Russ does have the fact that all the foul weather has made a utility worker's nightmare come true down in his neck of the woods. I can see it slipping a couple of weeks because of that but months?

    Russ, man, WTF dude? You're better than that!

    If he's got a shipping label, you don't even need to drive to FedEx, print the label, slap it on the box and call them. They will come pick it up. If you don't have the capability to print, take the packed and ready box to FedEx, give them the waybill number from the PDF and they will print the labels right then and there, afix them for you and give you the receipt with tracking number.

    Or you could have brought it to PolkFest and someone could have helped you pony express it.

    I'm certainly not making excuses for him, but he has had a hard time being able to get to the Item. There have been a lot of bad things going with him(nobody's business here what it is). Well after saying that. RUSS SHIP THE DAMN THING! Make it right asshat!

    George I'll hold him, and you beatem.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    It is and I'm sure his rep will take a hit or two, nothing he can;t recover from over time if it never happens again.

    Russ seems like a good guy. Maybe he got side tracked with work or other issues, but that was a dick move. I sure Russ will make good on the deal.

    Aside from taking pot shots at Keiko and the forum collective as well as calling us a cult . . . no you are not a trouble maker.

    Correct....

    It's not about a witch hunt. No other suggestions were really made in the thread except we need to know his name. I don't think Russ is a bad guy, nor is he a scammer. Real life happens sometimes. It's just after the last call, I figured there was nothing else I could really do except get some other folks involved.


    I just want the deal done so I can move on.
