Mods, if this isn't the right place for this post by all means do move it.
Recently I bought a nice percussion pistol that captured my eye at a known gun auction website. The buyer had good feedback from other buyers, the price was right and I pulled the trigger so to speak, using Buy It Now.
It arrived today and though it survived intact ( I haven't yet done an in depth inspection ) please take a look at the pictures below. The 'shipping container' was very light and pre-used cardboard, the pistol tucked among the meat wrapping paper inside the box. It appears that the weight of the pistol was enough to tear open the box on both sides, how it didn't drop out entirely I don't know.
It dosen't appear the package was mishandled by UPS. Rather, the packing was the flimsiest I've ever seen, clearly insufficient and it's obvious the Seller made no effort in packing/ shipping properly.
My question is this- would you leave negative feedback for this transaction ? Or simply never deal with them again ? Throughout my years shipping/ recieivng packages I generally don't leave negative feedback where there is feedback to leave, this for a number of reasons. Chief amoung them is not wanting to enflame the situation further or generate hostility. Life is short after all.
Worth mentioning; none of my 3 messages beyond my initial purchase inquiry were ever returned. I thought it extremely poor communication but left it at that. This transaction has a feedback component. Woud you leave feedback, or none at all ?
