I'm not gonna name any names because I'm still holding out hope for a positive ending. I'll give you the jist and you tell me what you think???
I had a figure that I was having some trouble getting the paint to keep from chipping and no matter what I tried it just would get knicked or come off very easily. So I hit up a fellow tanker who has far superior skills than me and someone I've done business with before and all went great previously. I told him my dilemma and asked if he could help, I offered to pay what he thought was fair for the job, he said don't worry about it bro, it's so minor I'll just hook it up...I said "are you serious, thanks but I'd really rather give you something for it" he said don't worry about it. We setup a time to meet and I brought my figure to him, I showed him the small area I was talking about and he said, this should only take a day or so if that...I know everyone's busy so I didn't even mention anything for a week. After that I hit em up (via txt msg) and said "hey how's it coming along" a couple days went by before he replied back and said I think I got it figured out and it should be cool. I said "ok just lemme know when I can come get it"...then nothing again for several days. So now we're coming up on like two weeks (still no big deal) then I txt him again and say hey can I come get it on this day and he says this day isn't gonna work how about sometime during the week? I said okay cool you tell me when is good for you? I figure since he was doing me this huge favor I don't want to be pushy or anything...so we decide on a couple days later. When that day finally comes, just as I'm about to leave to head out his way...he texts me and says he can't make it he's having car trouble...I said ok cool we'll reschedule, but I was thinking what does that matter, I'm coming all the way to you and could meet you at your house if need be so it's not like you need your car for this, but again I just said we'll try another day. So now another week or so goes by and I said look "I'm not sure when I can get out there, do you think you could mail it to me and I will send you a mo for whatever the shipping was" he said yeah I'll mail it out. I gave him my address and again heard nothing for another week (mind you were coming up on or over a month by now) so I said hey bro did you get a chance to mail that out yet, he said no not yet I'm going out next week to mail out all the stuff I need to send out to you and other tankers...so again I thought "great it'll be soon" That days comes and goes with no word of whether it went out or not or tracking or anything so I let another 5 days go by and then txt him again and this time I said hey I'm headed out to your area right now to pick up my fig, since I haven't heard from you. Then he gets back to me and says I just sent it out yesterday (this was almost 2 weeks ago) there is a about a 1hr drive between us and it's doesn't take that long to get to me. I waited 3 days and said I still didn't get it. No response, txt him again a day or so later..then says lemme know if you don't get it tomorrow. Still didn't get it! Then I said look do you have any tracking or anything and he says no I just sent it regular mail, I said fine but regular mail still has tracking as well. He then said he was able to confirm delivery from one PO to the other am I missing something here, how would he do that without tracking? He's now saying it should be here anyday but again it's been almost two weeks and I know it doesn't take that damn long...something tells me it won't be here tomorrow and I'm wondering am I worrying to much or does it look like I'm just assed out?

It seems a little shady. If you guys live that close it should be there by now. It almost sounds to me like you are being strung along with no end in site. I would text him again and if you don't hear back i would just forget it. After all, you are not out any money at this point...Just my opinion...

tough to say. if this was a few weeks ago you could blame the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of July being holiday time.
usps regular mail does take like 4-7 days. at the same time he might have been lazy. kept forgetting. kept thinking as long as i mail it out one day it will get there. maybe he couldn't figure out how to fix it and feels embarrassed.

well it was a HOH fig so I'm still kinda out the 14.99 plus shipping but it's not even that, it's just the fact that I feel like I'm being strung along and like you said "with no end in sight" I'm still hoping for the best though

Obviously i don't know his side of the story. I believe we have good people here so you may still get your figure. The mail is slow sometimes like it was mentioned above. I like that you are still hoping for the best...

I would hate to think that anyone on here would purposely try to cheat you, it's most likely that the person your dealing with just has organizational problems. Still, it doesn't make you feel any better knowing that it's not intentional, hopefully you will get the figure soon.

It doesn't sound cool at all, but as mention before maybe he is having trouble speaking up about getting it done! Either way if he is that close, then he should be able to man up and fix it or say something. It shouldn't be going on this long without any response in getting you it mailed back sooner if he can't meet you. He should be able to meet you somewhere close if nothing else. I hope all ends well with the figure!

I like the way you approached this problem, without directly calling the guy a thief. Its pretty cool of you to give the guy a chance before slammin him...or her. I really hope you get you figure back.
