3-21: EVIL 55 messaged me about my listing wanting to trade my E-Nano for a mighty or crafty.
3-22: We worked out the details of how the trade was to go down. He asked if I could ship the next day (3-22). I said possibly but to wait until I contacted him to be sure I could.
3-23: I informed EVIL 55 that I could not get the Nano out today but I would try to tomorrow.
3-24: I explained that my Mid-terms were going on so I didn't really have time to get to the post office. I apologized for the delays, and told him I would keep him updated.
3-25: EVIL 55 and I exchanged address'. I said I would get the Nano out that night if I could if not the next day. EVIL 55 then informed me do to an event he would not be able to ship until Monday (3-28).
3-27: I created a shipping label for the Nano and sent EVIL 55 the corresponding tracking number. EVIL 55 informed me he would ship 9 A.M. the next day.
3-28: (9:45 a.m.) I receive a message with tracking number! (Very prompt!)
3-29: EVIL 55 informed me that there had been no movement on the tracking number I had provided. He asked me to contact the post office and ask what was up.
3-30: EVIL 55 explained that he felt frustrated in the situation that he had waited a week and now that his Mighty was out, there was no proof that my Nano had left. EVIL 55 contacted me again later that day explaining that he viewed the situation as theft and he would treat it as such, he would contact the post master and police to attempt to resolve the problem.
3-31: I message EVIL 55 and apologized for not responding, I explained I had not checked the site and seen his messages. I messaged again and said I would go to the post office and attempt to get some kind of proof that I had indeed shipped the Nano for him. Again I apologized profusely for the problems. I responded again after going to the post office and explained that I was told that there was no receipt since I had printed out the label online, but that she would look around in case the package was still there.
4-1: I contacted EVIL 55 to let him know that I had heard back from the post office and that the package was held do to being damaged. I told EVIL 55 I had been surprised by this fact as I didn't remember the box being damaged in anyway but that the friend of mine who works for the post office I had been dealing with, and I had explained the situation to, said that maybe there was a smell... EVIL 55 responded promptly and told me that he would like nothing to do with this situation any further as he has gone through a bad experience with smell and the post office before. He asked me to pay for his Mighty over Paypal immediately. He replied again shortly after and it was obvious that at his point he was EXTREMELY upset with the situation. I responded and explained that I was more than happy to do anything I could to make this situation right I didn't have the funds to send him $400 right then. I said he could create a request for money on Paypal, as a way to have some accountability, that I would pay ASAP. I again apologized and stated I had no ill intention, but asked him to try to understand that I was being as transparent as possible and some of this was just out of my control. The next two messages I received, were very... agitated.... I explained to him that I had just gone to the post office and that there was no perceivable smell to me, but the box wasn't necessarily packaged in the best fashion... As well as that the women at the post office, my friend, had explained that her saying there was a smell, was purely speculation on her part. I asked what he would like me to do to make this all right as I was no thief. We messaged back a couple times about the situation and he said as long as there was absolutely no smell and it went out that day everything would be good. I told him I'd have it out ASAP and asked if he has a Paypal I could send some extra funds to ($50) for all the trouble. Money was sent. I received another message later that night saying that there was still nothing on the tracking.
4-2: EVIL 55 asked me to call my post office as the package had still not moved. I told him I would. Evil 55 said he believed me to be stringing him along and that he would contact the post office and post his negative feedback. I responded that it was in the mail, that USPS tracking is notoriously bad, and at this point there wasn't really not much I could think to do... If there was to let me know.
4-5: EVIL 55 asked me why I hadn't contacted him and again and asked for me to just mail his Mighty back. I said I hadn't emailed him because I had no new information to provide but if this continued he would get his Mighty back.
4-7: EVIL 55 again asked me to return his Mighty.
4-8: EVIL 55 informed me he had contacted the Mod's and that he was posting negative feedback.
4-9: I apologized for not responding sooner that I was without an internet connection. I told him that I would send his Mighty back. I also asked him to please contact me if my Nano did arrive and I would arrange to get him a label to return it to me.
4-11: Mighty was ready to go out but I receive an email stating that he did indeed receive the Nano!
Even still the tracking shows absolutely no update. I don't know what took so long for it to get there, nor why there was no update at all along the way, even when it was scanned in.
This post is in no way trying to exonerate myself. I believe that EVIL 55 did a god job of explaining fairly and honestly what went down in his. I just wanted to post a more detailed view from my side.
I take full responsibility for what went down here. I should have not listed the nano when I did, I was not in a place where I could do what what was necessary to get done all that was needed to be in a timely manner. I cant apologize enough to EVIL55 for this entire situation but am just glad that this is finally all worked out.
