long story short, I saw a post from 1300 psi a ways back advertising that he had NEW D and D heads with 6 inserts for a tcat for sale. After much negotiation we agreed on a price. I was told that one head had been turned. I told him I had to have the heads machined to fit an 1108 so it was alright. I KNEW THIS GOING IN. Well anyway I was charged $38 for shipping and handling. I was also told that if I wanted to use Paypal that would cost an extra 5%. Being across the border and unsure about time, I paid the paypal. Upon receipt of the heads at the post office I was shocked at how small and beat up the box was. Upon shaking it it sounded like something was broken inside. I accepted it anyway, being as I had already paid for it. Upon opening the box (See pictures) I was shocked to see absolutely no packing material. The 3 heads and 6 inserts were sandwiched together, and fairly beat up. In my picture you can see there are only three heads in it, so you can imagine how small the box is. I contacted 1300 PSI (Travis Descamps) and stated how bad they were and that he owed me a partial refund. He told me that he packed them tightly and they should have been fine, The box was insured so that is how I should handle it. I saw on the box that there was $400 insurance, I paid over $500, and I also saw that I was charged $38 for $21 shipping. So the extra must have bought me the crappy box and duct tape. POSTAL INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE FROM INSUFFCIENT PACKING. Or lack therefore of. I was again told to pound sand by 1300 PSI. This week I am off and this is my time to get my sled ready for the season. I took the heads, inserts and a pistons to the machine shop to have them opened up for the 1108 bore.
The machinist showed me that TWO of the domes had already been turned. (Remember 1300 PSI told me 1 had been). We looked over them carefully and saw that one low compression dome had been turned, and could be made to work for my bore. One of the high compression domes had also been turned but was outside of tolerance range and was basically junk. So now I have to buy a new Dome from D and D. I wanted to give 1300 PSI every opportunity to make things right. I sent him an e-mail stating everything that was found, and asked him to refund me the amount for a dome. I was told that, I knew all this going in, it is not his concern in regards to the type of pistons, I do not know what i am doing, I was aware that these are for a stock 1000, (would they work on a stock 1000 with 2 domes overbored) I told him in writing that I was going to use these for a 1108, and that I should give him some money for all the trouble I put him through. So you be the judge. See the pictures below, maybe you can see the damages on the water manifold, or the difference in bores, and the junk dome diameter. Travis Deschamps is right about me not knowing what I am doing, because I paid him in full, sight unseen for something he lied to me about. I wish I was closer to him so I could resolve this in person. But he knows I am nowhere near Canada, and he told me to pound sand. HE IS STILL TRYING TO SELL SOME THINGS HERE, BE CAREFUL AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PRODUCT IN HAND BEFORE YOU PAY HIM IN FULL. That way you may not feel like you got screwed like I did.

Because you went through paypal, if you have copys of your email you can go through them to fight it and it will be the most successfull.... goodluck sorry to hear about your luck

go through paypal like this guy said and make sure you tell them that he charged you that extra 5%. That is a big no no with pay pal

Yup, you should be able to recover most if not all of the $$$
Paypal is were you went right in this purchase.
they will hold his account until it is resolved or if he doesn't comply within a specified number of days they automatically transfer the cash back over to your account.

Thanks for the heads up!
(no pun intended)

I appreciate all the input. I just went to paypal and filed the dispute. I do have all the e-mails as well. All I need is a refund for the price of a new Dome. I have no intention of screwing him, even though that is what he did to me. The worst part about this whole thing is his attitude.

Sounds like the guy is just a scumbag. thanks for the heads up.

Well I have had some dealings with this 1300 PSI guy myself. I wanted to buy the mint hood he had. But it turns out his idea of mint includes a small crack. I never bought the hood. But I did get a clutch and some carb flanges from him. He told me he wanted American money in the add. But when I called to pay him he wants Canadian money which was worth more at time. I paid the extra cash, but will not deal with him again. Sorry to hear about the screw job you got Mikesnowman. But hope fully your post will stop him from shady deals in the future!!

Woo, he had a bunch of secondary clutching stuff I was going to pick up from him as well. Thanks for the notice, he's hawking stuff on snowest.com as well.

Thanks for the heads up. To pack that kind of precision parts in a box like that shows what a JACK-ASS this guy must be.....

I see he went all out on the Duct Tape!!!!! Pay-Pal will be your best BET.....

good luck with paypal. i bought some speakers off of a guy last year through paypal, and he never sent them!! i had all the emails between the both of us so i filed a dispute with paypal. they proceed to email me back a few weeks later and said i WON the dispute, woohoo!! they then go on to say, they will refund my money as soon as the guy i bought the speakers from gave the money back to them(paypal). i didnt get my money back

To make sure nobody takes this post wrong, I am not saying do not buy anything from him, I am sharing my personal experience and his total lack of concern in making it right. If somebody wants to buy something from him they should be sure to see it first hand before they buy it. I had him send me pictures which show everything in perfect condition. They also show the un retouched domes. I do not think I was being unreasonable in asking him to refund me the amount for a new dome. BUT, now he has 20 days to work something out, or then Paypal handles the dispute. If it goes that far (which I am sure it will) I will try to get a larger portion back, not to be a jerk, but to better put the price of this where it should be as it was used. In my book if you machine something it is used and you should not represent it as new. I can not wait to see if the seller adds anything to this post. I can not wait to hear what he tries to state. I do have all his e-mails and correspondence which proves legally that he represented the product as new and that he stated that he had only modified one dome.
Buyer Beware!

When I send out parts people must think im some kind a mental case. I wrap each part with packing in between. Then add popcorn to fill the voids. Tape the living hell out of the BOX with packing tape. Im pretty sure my packages could fall out of a plane and not scratch a thing!!!!

Forget that the parts are screwed up to pack them that way is NUTS!!!!!!

I would say DONT trust him as i bought the "NEW" fabcraft spindels from him and when they showed up there was scratches and dinges in them!! I pmed him and ask what was up and he said "I ONLY USED THEM FOR THREE RIDES". Maybe I misunderstood but to me "NEW" means NEW not used very little... He also said to add 5% for paypal. I would be Very careful buy anything from 1300PSI!!

Carl

Carl,
maybe our idea of new is different from his??? I too had to add the 5% for paypal. Is this required by Paypal?

First of all I want to say maybe you guys should hear both sides of the story before you shoot your mouths off. I had many conversations with this guy and specifically went over everything about the heads and let him know what they were for and what had been done to them. I even send pics to him to see the heads before he bought them to see them. So he well knew in advance what he was getting and what he agree upon buying. I do my best to ship stuff safely and have never had any issues before with damaged items from Canada Post/US postal system. Once they enter the shippers it is out of my hands how they arrive or how they were treated during shipment,I have no control of this. I shipped the heads the same way they came from D&D tightly in a box and then a fragile decal placed on the box from Canada post workers.

When the shipment arrived to this guy here is the direct quote from him and also have his emails to prove it. "When I shook the box it sounded like something was broken. The post office asked if I wanted to refuse the package" They told him as well as I told him that it had insurance for loss and damage from shipping which covers any type of damage or loss that occurs. He still insisted on taking it when he even was advised not to and he though something was broken.

More than 3 weeks go buy of him having the parts and now claims that he can not machine the heads that he new in advance what they were for and what was done to them in our conversations. It is not my responsibility to know every motor specs for different combos other than what the parts were intended for. Here is a quote from myself "Never had heads on motor so not sure of specs they are for a 1000 in Hot trail and lake race specs"

My ad in this section of the site does not say US or Canadain funds but you can probably tell by my profile that I am from Canada so they are most likely Canadain funds.

As far as paypal for those of you that are also part of this slander to someone maybe get on paypal and read the fees before you shoot your mouths of to defamate someones character. 1.PREMEIRE PAYPAL ACCOUNTS 2.9%+.55CENTS CAD FOR PAYMENTS RECEIVED 2.CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS FROM US TO CAD FUNDS 2.5%. SO DO THE MATH 5.4%=.55 CAD TO ACCEPT US FUNDS FOR PAYMENT. So there are the fees you get charged for a premeire paypal account and if they charge to use paypal then there is no law on trying to get back your STANDARD 5% they charge you to use paypal.

This guy got exactly what we discussed and nothing less and when it first started he wanted money back for some paint being rubbed of from shipping to start and have emails to prove that also. Then over 3 weeks down the road wants more money back because he is having a hard time making a 1000 dome work on his bigger bore motor. When a head is turned and a huge dish cut in the center for different cc's you obviously can not add metal to it to make it work. He new the domes were hot trail and lake race like I told him and again even told him that did not have specs on them as they were not on any motor to test.

I also want to let you guys know that he was willing to give me $300 for just the heads with no inserts. I replied I could sell the inserts seperately or he could take everything the way it was for $450. He agreed and said he was having all the inserts turned anyway so he would make it work for his motor.

Also that this guy has sent threatening emails and has posted a one sided story to slander and defamate ones character and he wonders why I am done talking to him about it. Most resonable people would deal with the situation in another fashion to work things out and not accuse or send threats to a person. For all the people reading this post maybe you should of heard the other side of the story before making your comments also. I would gladly off taken a phone call or even an email to stell you what was discussed to let you know what was discussed about the deal. Threatening and posting things like this publiclly was real cool when most of the things this guy forgot to mention was to leave out and tell you everything with this deal. Paypal is dealing with it now so you think this guy could of worked it out through their and let it take its course instead of telling crap and sending threatenin emails that he is coming to beat me up but he can't because he lives in the US.

Maybe a simple you know the inserts you sent me will not work is there anything you can do about it to help me out. Maybe pursuing the matter in this way would have benefited this guy and I most likely would of said what can I do to make it right and ya go ahead send the domes back and will send some money your way. You think anyone in their right mind will not put up a barrier when being threatend and a slanderous post to boot to defamate my character is going to help anyone out. Again I sold him a set of heads and gave as much as I knew about them and was 100% honest and shipped exactly the parts we discussed nothing less.

Well that is all well, but back to the question at hand.
Will you refund or allow a return?
Will you comment on the "mint" or supposedly "new" parts you have been selling?

As an onlooker from my stand point you have made a stand. All things in the past aside what are you willing to do , or what would you as a seller be willing to compromise???

I cannot fathom shipping anything made of metal in the manner shown, that unfortunately is hindsight which we all have!


Please respond in a Canadian HCS fashion to help represent all of us other Canadian members!

I call BULLSHIT on the way D&D shipped the heads... Funny mine came nicely wrapped in white foam... Not that I am happy someone else got screwed, but I am glad I did not purchase from you.

Well young man I am happy that you further incrimanated yourself. Not once did I ever slander you. If you want to discuss law lets have a run at it. I am looking at Canadian laws as we speak.
Fact #1
You listed these heads on the website as new D and D billet heads for a stock 1000

Fact #2
You stated that you had been playing around with setups and had (turned) machined one head.

Fact #3
I told you that I was going to use these for a 1108 and would need to machine them.

Fact #4
You shipped these in a box with out any protection and the parts rubbed against each other causing nicks and gouges.

Fact #5 If I had refused them then what? Would you have refunded 100% of my money?

Fact #6 I immediately e-mailed you and told you of the damage from shipping and your response to me was " I packed them tightly in the box, and then taped it securely. They are insured so you should have insurance cover any damage. You said that you were going to machine them anyway so the gouges will dissapear"

Fact #7 I live In Iowa, I do not have rideable snow yet, and the parts had been sitting in a box awaiting the holidays for installation

Fact #8 My machinist showed me how one dome from the low heads had been turned( could be cut to work), and one from the high compression domes had been turned. Too deep to work, therefore they are unusable.

Fact #9 nowhere in the advertisement or your e-mails did you ever state that these new heads had 2 inserts/domes that were turned.

Fact #10 I never threatened you in any manner, nor did I threaten to beat you up. I merely stated that I wish I lived closer so we could reslove this face to face, maybe over coffee?

Fact#11 You are carrying yourself as a high perfomance guru and depicting me as a complete and utter retard with no mechanical aptitude.

Fact #12 All i have ever asked for was a partial refund, the first time for the damage to the parts, the second for the extra machined dome which is junk. I also told you that to make this right all you had to do would be to credit me the amount for a new dome.

Having gone through this I should have sticked to my original plan and just bought the heads and then purchased the domes from D and D. I was actually trying to help you out Travis Deschamps.

Oh By the way if anyone viewing this post want to see the pictures of what 1300 psi sent to me, and what they looked like after I pulled them out of the box, let me know, I would be happy to send them to you.

I have learned a huge lesson here. I can not beleive that I was taken advantage like this by a fellow sledder. I am glad to know that 1300 PSI, Travis Deschamps is in the minority and that most sledders are fine brothers!

100% honest?? The post said "NEW" I will post the Pics of the box and the scratches and dents on the spindels later today on lunch. We will let other non-bias HCS members make their decisions...

Carl

First of all i would like to say sorry for you guys that feel you got screwed but i got to chime in hear and tell my story of dealing with travis, i bought his 1300 psi motor from him and i have nothing but good to say about him, we have talked many times on the phone, and when he is not there he always returns my calls or e-mails, matter of fact, i got another e-mail from him today wondering how my motor is going, not tring to take sides here but this doesn't sound like the same travis i delt with, as far as the packing goes, remember it came from B.C. Canada, know how many hands it went through before it got to you? All them high school punks just throw them packages around like there footballs and who knows how many times they were dropped, The motor i bought from him was packaged in a huge dry box surrounded by plywood and wrapping and was not very light, and by the time it got to me in michigan i looked like it was dropped from a plane! Was this his fault? not at all, he has no control of how these idiots handel our packages, i called him to let him know how it arrivied and he made a trip down the the shipping company to complain about how it arrivied, did he have to do that for me? Not! He did it because of what a stand up man that he is, give him a chance (and respect) and i'm sure you two will be able to work things out, some people you sell things no matter what you decribe you will never be able to please them, but coming on here and bashing someone is no way to settle business. Good luck and hope things turn out good for the both of you. Merry Christmas.

Here again I call BS... Especially after him knowing how things get treated in the mail with your engine, there is no excuse to ship the heads the way they were. When I pack things for shipping, short of having a nuclear bomb exploded next to it, I assume it is going to get treated poorly..

All them high school punks just throw them packages around like there footballs and who knows how many times they were dropped.

So why would you throw machined parts in a box and send them thinking they would be just fine. I have bought many things from D&D over the years....never ever did I get parts packaged that way.....I say BULL SHIT on the packing. The rest of the story who knows.....

BB1100.
I never ever once slandered Travis. I am sure He is a fine person! But the fact of the matter was that he put 3 NEW D and D heads and 6 billet inserts sandwiched together without any pakaging material at all, no paper or cardboard or anything between them, and put them into a box smaller than a shoebox, then cocooned it in duct tape. I was charged $38 for shipping, and the box said $21. It had insurance of $400 on it and the purchase price was $520. This was never an issue with postal damage. It was 100% due to Travis' pakaging.I called him about this and he told me the insurance would cover it. Well it will not. I asked him for a partial refund. I was rudely told no.
Last week as I am getting my sled out of storage and I take the heads to be turned, I find out that 2 had been cut????? WTF! I was told only one. One is cut too deep to be usable. WTF? So when I ask Travis for a refund of the amount of a new replacement dome he has the balls to insult me, call me inept. I do not think so.
I filed a claim on paypal, and it was rejected because paypal disputes are only for shipment issues. So I got them and that is it.
So here is the break down:
D and D heads and six inserts
$520
$250 machining
$95 new replacement dome
$865 I paid for these Heads.
I do not feel like I was screwed. I was Screwed. I gave him opportunity to make this right, and all I get was insults, and defensiveness.
Live and learn!
BB1100 I am happy things worked out well for you! Would you like to buy some new D and D heads?
Merry Christmas.

[ I do my best to ship stuff safely and have never had any issues before with damaged items from Canada Post/US postal system. Once they enter the shippers it is out of my hands how they arrive or how they were treated during shipment,I have no control of this. I shipped the heads the same way they came from D&D tightly in a box and then a fragile decal placed on the box from Canada post workers.


Please see pictures of methods of safe shipment. Also please see if anyone can see a fragile sticker? Also if you put fragile on a box and then do not protect the contents, does that mean they will not shift in transit?

Man I am still laughing about this one. I send him an e-mail asking for a artial refund beacuse of shipping damage, and another e-mail asking for a pay-pal credit to cover the cost of a new insert beacuse he failed to tell me that 2 were machined?? Where is the threat? Where is the Slander? Here in the US I could take him to court and file a case in small claims court for misrepresentation of products. I would win hands down. It was sold as new and condition was not fully disclosed.
Oh by the way, please prove to me that I am not 100% honest. Maybe ask around here about stuff I have sold. I sold a set of pipes to an individual that were supposed to fit a 98. I was told 96-98. Well they did not. So I refunded his money plus freight before I ever saw the pipes back. I just did not want this person to feel like they were screwed.
But that is just me.

So tarvis Sue away!!!!

Paypal charges the seller 5% for handling the transaction, there is nothing wrong with that.

Not a big deal. I paid it for the seller.

I bought a set of new PSI 1300 Pipes from Travis , Talked to him by phone and PMs , we made a deal on the pipes I payed him with PayPal . He sent them by Canada Post . They arrived in as new condition , Very well packed.All the way to SWEDEN !! So I have nothing but good to say about my deal with Travis .......

I call BS as well . reguardless of the machining that had been done. you dont ship this type of mechanical parts like the way they were shipped ( are you stupid or just dont give a F%(k ! ! ) thats a nobrainer . and as for the description of said parts if you say only one head has been turned you damn better have checked them to varify that fact .. partial refund is in order ! ! !

He is going to SUE you now???????

I'd stay away from anyone charging 5% for paypal fees. That's a known cost of doing business. No different than a retailer charging 2.5% for Visa fees or even more than that for debit card fees. To me it looks like someone that wants to sell their garbage for top dollar. Too much of that happening in my opinion.

Wow, sorry to read about this story Mike. Like it was later stated by (I think) DansBlown73Nordic!!) I package my stuff like it might have to be protected by a nuclear bomb, no matter how OVER wrapped the stuff is!!

1300psi, be a man, pay up at least for the one insert you said was good, but needed replacing all together.

Sorry to see this going on. It's always a bummer when this kind of stuff happens and yes, there are usually two sides to every story.
For what it's worth, my experience with Travis has been a positive one. All communications have been forthright and above the board.

I just bought the hood from him. Paid via paypal. I was charged the extra 5% becuase it was a business, and paypal charges him. He emailed telling me the box got dropped and the small crack in the corner was now a bit bigger, and he did not want to send it this way, and offered to refund my money. He said if you still want it he would refund me 25.00 and ship it anyway, I agreed, and he did refund my money. Do not have hood yet, but so far so good.

I do hope you can get your issues resolved, and hopefully the hood comes as described, and well packaged.

Yes there are always 2 sides to every story. But I do not understand the packaging part of my story. I bought parts that were represented as new but were shipped in a box with no protection inside what so ever. All the parts banged against each other. Now they do not look like new. Then I am told to use the insurance to cover the damage? I never even got an I am sorry!

Lies,lies and more lies.

Fact 1: "I am sorry your heads had some marks on them from from them abusing the shipment from the postal end" Emails to prove

Fact 2: Paypal told you that shipping is from postal services and has nothing to do with them and you had no facts to state anything else wrong with heads and sold as described.

Fact 3: Did you metion to anyone or show any pics of how the heads were all tightly taped face to face so no machined surfaces were exposed (this is how they were before even put in the box).

Fact 4: Did you ever mention to anyone that the packaged was opened and taken out to be observed by customs when it crossed the border.

Fact 5: did you also mention to everyone that I had given you options to pay by bank deposit,certified cheque or money order (just paypal was fastest and most secure was my words to you but any way to pay will work for me. "what works for you is fine for me for payment")

Just curious why all these facts were not given out for everyone to read before they all made their judgement. Like a member said "coming on a public forum to bash someone is no way to settle business"

All your cronies that were all so sure of your true story that you told them, that they told you to go to paypal to lynch me and it was a shut case and you were guaranteed to win. You even stated that you were so sure that you were even going to ask for MORE MONEY THAN YOU STARTED WITH. So sure of yourself and your loyal supporters that were so sure of themselves even though they do not know me and have not taken both sides into account. Again funny thing is paypal told you that shipping was not there problem and that you had no facts to prove anything else was wrong with the heads and sold as described. Paypal did not even need more than a day to view and go over the facts even when they have 20days to come up with a desicion why? Ask your 100% for sure one sided viewers why.

And to add fuel to the fire and more slander towards me you even tried to make people beleive I was pulling fraud by charging the 5% paypal fee. This is a standard fee and you also agreed to pay it even though you had the other options of paying. I am not a business and if I had a business and to attract my customers to using interact/credit card I could do a couple of things. 1.Eat the charge to attract people to do business with me because I have credit card/debit available, or 2. Add this charge into my products which most businesses already have done with their merchandise. I only have a premeire account to allow people to use other ways to pay other than cash in their paypal account and for this I either have to mark my items for sale higher if use paypal or be honest and let the buyer know there is a fee to cover this. I beleive my items are priced reasonably and on some can not take anymore of a loss than I have on some of them. So yes if paypal is used I asked for the 5% back which paypal charges a standard 5.4% but also give people other ways of payment the SAME AS I DID FOR YOU AND AT THE TIME YOU HAD NO PROBLEM WITH IT. NOW YOUR GRABING FOR THIN AIR TO MAKE PEOLPLE TO BELEIVE YOUR STORY AND SLANDER ME TO DISCREDIT MY CHARACTER. You not only got pictures to show what you were buying but got exactly as I described in all my dealings with you. Several people saw the heads,including where I got them from,people who watched me package the heads,postal depot who placed fragile decals on them. The heads were as described as new and were new for a 1000 you saw pictures to show they were never used and everything else about them and the deal was discussed between you and me clearly. So what we discussed was what you got nothing less,because some paint good taken off from obvioulsy being abused from changing how many hands from Canada to the US side and to your hands. You are now trying to make people beleive that they are not new and used crappy heads with wrong inserts and all turned and beat up and everything else you state about them.

You also are trying to slander me even more with comments about how much the heads were and you were ripped off by posting the price of things. Lets get this all clear to everyone also. You knew you had to turn the heads to start because 1108 has a bigger bore than a 999 and I told you not sure of specs never had on a motor to check. I told you what we pay down here in Canada for machine work on those style of heads but not sure what they charge your way. So now your machine shop charges you $250 to turn them so now the heads are $700 for them with machine work. You should of know well in advance what a machine shop was going to charge you before you 100% commited to the deal. So the cost to make them work is all your responsibility and a cost you should have know you had to bear. So that should no way reflect on what I sold them for because you knew you were turning them.

Funny thing about whole thing is:

1. Postal office told you to reject them
2. you knew they rattled around and stated something sounded like it was broken inside you still took them
3. the postal office and myself told you they had insurance for damage and loss
4. you email me telling me you got them
5. a couple days go by and you email again saying paint is rubbed off
6. I appologized and said sorry for shipping damage from postal service and asked if anything else was wrong and you stated just paint marked up
7. over 3 weeks go buy with no emails of any sort from you or concerns with heads
8. all of a sudden after having them for almost a month you come up with this garbage on this site and slanderous post day after day to discredite my character
9. everyone tells you to lynch me with paypal
10. paypal rejects you
11. more slanderous crap posted
12.other members chime in
14,more slanderous crap about paypal fraud
15.others chime in
16.more slanderous garbage
17.probably even more lies and not all the facts given by this guy to

Do we not see a pattern here that this guy got what I describe and again nothing less than I sold him and becuase it started with some paint being rubbed off from something out of my control that one after another come this SLANDEROUS POST STARTED. So to me or most others that have read this should see that because of unhappy about paint marks lie after lie has been posted and very one sided story.

People say a real man would make it right and others say a real man would not come on a public forum and post stuff like this. In my opinion the second one may have made me open to even talk to this guy,but how do you talk to a guy that post lies and emails you with threats. All you cronies,friends,followers or whatever you may be how bout you send me your name and will post crap over the net and then see if your willing to even talk with me when I start a post on a forum with one side and full of untrue comments and not 100% of the facts laid out.

For now 3 in a row make her go and a Merry Ho-Ho and Happy New Year to ALL MEMBERS.

I have not or did not lie about anything or slander you in any way. I do owe you an apology for not knowing that customs opened the box up. I was not aware that that had happened. But that does not diminish the fact that you put these in a small box with no protection at all. It is over. You win. You got your money, and i got my heads. I feel that you improprly packaged them and I asked you to compensate me for the damage. I had an head that was machined that you neglected to mention. You assumed that my needs would cover the prior machining. I asked for a partial refund to replace the dome. Never ever once have you made any attempts to make it right with me. As you can see by the impartial posts here many peopl have had good dealings with you. Some have not. It is not slanderous to post facts. Is misrepresentation unlawful?
This is done. I am not posting anything else on this thread. All you had to do was pay for the dome and I would have been a satisfied customer. In closing, all I have to say is that you never made any attempts to rectify anything. All you did was become defensive. I am sure all my "Cronies" on this forum are entitled to their own opinions as well.

Customs use YELLOW tape when they reseal it and they apply a label to say they opened it. Postal people may use duct tape. Was there any yellow tape? and maybe a label hiding under all that duct tape?
