Hello,

It looks like I am out a thousand dollars andI am sadly disappointed. Let this be a lesson for others:

I sent, via Paypal, about a thousand dollars for the canister and shipping -- but never received anything in return.

The packages was reported lost by UPS and the seller informed me he shipped it without full insurance for the value. He said he would forward the UPS refund for the shipping and a hundred dollars or so for the basic UPS package insurance -- far short of the thousand I sent.

To date I haven't received anything. The last email response I received was in April indicating he would handle it mid-May when he returned from his current trip.

The email I sent last week hasn't been answered yet.

I should have known better... but as he appeared well known around RBW I let my guard down. Beware and be careful when doing business over the internet. Always require full value insurance -- it appears not everyone considers insurance of the full value to be important when they ship "your" stuff. Always know your recourse if you don't get anything.

Very, very sad and disappointed and out a thousand dollars,

Paul
