Thanks Again

According to what I have written down, I came in under that.

Sometimes losing business over $10 is the way it goes though. Cut throat.

I thought it was $100 less than that? Feel free to blame it on me.. Must be getting really old.

Thanks! ... I charge my customers what the shipper charges me. I think that's only fair.

If a company charges more than their actual shipping costs, the additional becomes taxable income. Do it too much and be prepared to be spanked by the taxman... hard
AGREED

Well boy's it doesn't look good.

On 8-5 he said that he got the cashiers check and was sending it out the next day. I gave him my ups act # to send the check 2 day Air ( letter) and nothing. Have been leaving him msg's and sending him e-mails and i havn't got a single responce. I am really perplexed. Does he think that $1800 is not worth going after? And all this hell that he is about to receive could be avoided if he would only have the guts to pick up the phone and call or e-mail me. I have given him til monday morning to get a hold of me. If he doesn't than i am fed-xing a complete packet to the DA in NYC including copies of the cashiers check and the acknowledgement that he rcvd the funds. The DA's office said that this is a pretty easy case with the evidence i have and that this is a federal offense. So he could spend some time in the pokey and i hear that they like them orientals in there :eek:

Any one that wants to earn some xtra $ in helping me get my money back let me know.

d.burley@source4elect.com

I will keep you posted

Thanks

I wouldn't even screw with these people. The second I thought something up on the phone with my Attorney I go. A few years ago it would have been a baseball bat and some "neighborly friends" getting the funds back, but these days you can screw with people more the legal way. Would you rather bust someone up or watch them go to jail for 30-90 days? I would rather take their freedom, wounds can heal. So go at it the legal way man.

I also find it interesting that Not2Fast's last post on the forum is the ad for the BBS wheel. If he was not avoiding anything, he should at least have given his side of his story to CL. He has not even casually posted anything else since then (unless it is under a different username )

Good luck with your troubles (which I gather are about to become his troubles).

Have you checked with your bank to see if the cashiers check has cleared? If not, you could place a stop payment on it. Just a thought. Hope this helps.

yeah, paypal sucks too! they will just say "we have ended out investigation... blah blah blah... and we are unable to retrieve funds because the account has a zero balance." I got screwed before. Only bet is to pay via credit card directly or by someone like william.
