I don't know if this is the right forum or not but here goes.
Last November I bought an SWR SM400S from a fellow TB'er in the classified section. I paid $365.00 through Pay Pal and the amp was shipped. When I received it it was DOA. I notified the person I bought it from and we came to the conclusion that it was damaged during shipment (UPS). The amp was insured and we did all the required paper work and steps. The estimate was approved by UPS and I took the amp in to be fixed ($412.00). I sent the final statement to the person I bought the amp from and he forwarded it to UPS. Now here's the catch. Since the person I bought the amp from has an account with UPS all transactions were done through him. Meaning that the check for the repairs was sent to the seller and he was going to send me a cashiers check. From the looks of it he's keeping the money. He is not replying to my emails, answering my calls, or returning my calls.
I have called UPS about the problem and they can't do anything about it. The check has been sent and the case is settled.
The time period has been 6 months. I have kept all correspondence I have had with the seller.
Any body know what actions I can take to get my money?

2) If it happens they can't resolve it, file a claim against the person in small claims court. This process is designed to be very cheap and easy to do, and there are no lawyers involved.

I want to wait for awhile to drop a name to see if can explain himself. Tom |

| | | Man ... you could have the first thread in the new forum .... http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f220/
I hope you achieve resolution.
I also did not have a hard time figuring out who the other party is . I say he
needs to speak up before his reputation is tainted ... deserved or not. |

05-15-2010, 10:25 AM
| | | | Well... Looking at feedback makes it easy to assume who it is...
I said assume ... Not know.... |

You would think that everything should go smoothly if you are buying from someone with 33 positive transactions. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
