thomasng Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I think I'm having an incredibly poor run of luck, first I recieve a bad vintage Daytona, then I get robbed and now the 187 I sent to a member in trade has been stolen! Apparently, the package I sent to him arrived empty and was taped which was an obivous sign of tampering, as I didn't tape it but simply sealed it. I don't know what to [censored]ing do, getting robbed 2 days ago was bad enough, and now this. It was in a trade, I recieved what I was supposed to almost a week ago, while he gets an empty package. I feel really bad that this has happened. Again, any advice on what I should do? I'm going to file a complaint with the post office tomorrow morning, but I don't know how to tell them it was a fake watch, and I obivously made a false declaration on customs. I feel like digging a hole and lying in it, never to wake up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relaxman Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 If I were and you trust a empty box was indeed received I would send his watch back to him. For all you know he might think you are the one that sent the empty box. Look at the items we are dealing w/ here. His made it yours didnt you lose. Just one mans opinion.

Got really bad luck with my new car lately... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narikaa Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) For all you know he might think you are the one that sent the empty box. In these circumstances the amount of postage paid (shown on the box) qualifies the weight of the item (will bear too much for sending an empty box!). @ thomasng "but I don't know how to tell them it was a fake watch, and I obivously made a false declaration on customs. " You dont say which origionating Postal Authority but the Customs Declaration generally has no bearing on the claim, insurance level and proof of value do. .

thomasng Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hong Kong post has indemnity up to HK$2500, which is just about the value of the 187. All I need to do now is to have the reciepts, etc. I just don't know how to prove I shoved a watch like that in the envelope, aside from the weight, and how to prove the value, but definitely the weight proves that I sent it.

Had it not been a trade then a quick print of the PayPal transaction would have done the trick. You now either have to show its 'sale' value (which will require some collusion from the receipient) or Proof of YOUR purchase price (which may be far easier) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relaxman Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I just don't know how to prove I shoved a watch like that in the envelope Please take no offence because I really dont know your packing procedures but shoving a watch like that in an envelope doesnt sound very promising MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasng Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Please take no offence because I really dont know your packing procedures but shoving a watch like that in an envelope doesnt sound very promising MG Okay then, PUT in the envelope. I'm so sorry if my choice of vocabulary made you think that. If you don't find a huge amount of bubble wrap around the watch acceptable then please tell me what your packaging procedures are. And by the way, I just discovered customs took it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relaxman Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I tend to use boxes well taped as opposed to envelopes. So they sent the dude a re-taped empty envelope. Thats cold. Again thomasng no offence. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again thomasng no offence. MG I had almost the same thing happen--sold a watch, and the buyer got an empty, tampered box. I immediately refunded via paypal +10% for the buyers trouble and dissapointment. Nothing else was said until one day about three months later a surprise box showed up at my house. Inside, was a nice Andrew miyota DateJust along w/ a note from the buyer--"One good turn deserves another." Admin, send the watch back. Good Karma will catch up with you. For the person that took your watch, Bad Karma will catch up w/ him. It all evens out in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
