Hey guys, so we purchased a couple of pins from him on his sale thread and he told us he shipped out the pins on Tuesday. He sent us a tracking number that does not work with ANY carrier we could think of...and now doesn't respond our PMs or emails. We figured that if it was shipped from Florida it should have arrived last week but here we are Monday and still pinless.


Can anyone get in contact with him so that he can let us know where our pins are...if he's sent them...or any information please.
We are really desperate.

Anybody that has bought from his sale have a similar experience that can help shed light on ours?

We just want to know where our pins are...
 
Maybe the post office obsered St. Patty's day a little harder than the rest. Also, I have had people before send me a tracking number and it wasn't mailed yet. They just printed it from the computer but didn't drop it off for a few more days after. I say give it a few more days, he seems to have been around a decent amount, enough that I recognize the name instantly, I wouldn't be too worried just yet.
 
you hit it on the head Mark,,,,and sadly i am guilty of that, but i woulda thought he'd ship by now if he gave you a DC last week. I have only traded in person with him twice and im actually sick and shocked he is giving up pins. so sad.

i wouldnt even think he was shady at all.
 
Give it a couple days and try tracking it again,sometimes going through Paypal shipping it takes up to 24 hours or more to show tracking info on the site
 
I tried contacting him a few times about his sales and haven't received any response yet. I know he mentioned that he was in school and pretty busy...plus with the break up and all I'm sure his dealing with a lot. Just give it some time. Tracking doesn't always display because postal workers don't always scan it in. If you use the post office or PayPal's label printing service...that label must be used within 24 hours after being printed. Some postal employees may still accept it, but it reflects poorly on their office as if they are delayed with the package. So they sometimes have you cancel the original label and re-print it.
 
We didn't mean to imply that something shady is going on...we just had a friend tell us that he PMd him today and we have been waiting for a response for days now so we were kind of worried. We just wanted to know if we can get some more information :)
 
I know a few months back he thought pin trading was going to be too hard for him since it was something he used to do in his previous relationship and I haven't seen him around the parks. After reading this I went to check him on Facebook and he has taken me off his friend list, nor did his name show up when I typed it in...although Facebook could have taken him off due to all the naked shots of himself he liked to put up there. I hope he is okay and its not like him to not make good on a deal.
 
I purchased 2 lovely R/C girls pins from him. He sent me DC# on March 7th and then I left for a vacay on 15th. We came back yesterday my pins were waiting for me. I think he packs them during the week and he gets to mail them only during the weekends, so it takes a bit time. Juan is awesome through and through :)
 
I bought 4 pins and he said he would ship about 2 weeks ago and still havent gotten then. Ive pmd him numerous times and nothing
 
I bought a pin from him recently and received it two days ago. It was posted on the 27th March, so for those waiting I wouldn't worry too much. You will get them soon!
 
I'm glad he gave the R/Cs I was going to buy from him to someone else. Glad they went to a good home at least. smh

Has anyone else still not recieved their pins? I'm getting worried. I have no tracking number, he won't reply to my pm and I see another UK person got theirs days ago. I spent quite a lot of money and I'm rather worried. :(
 
Hey guys, we did end up getting our pins, though the wait was hard, as we are impatient lol. (Turned out he made an address mistake and it cycled around his local post offices until it made it to him and then again to us). You should all get your pins though
 
That's good to know, I've been waiting just over 2 weeks I'm used to things taking 5-10 days maybe I'm just impatient, but after the luck I've had recently I'm worried they are lost. I'm sure they will be worth the wait but I'm dying with anticipation :facepalm:
 
We set up a trade a few months ago where I went & purchased five pins for him & he knew I was going to purchase these just to trade with him, so after I spend $90 on pins for him, he disappears and I'm stuck with pins I dont want and aren't very good traders. I only did this for him because we had traded in the past with no problems, but after I got the pins, the PMs from him stopped & he wouldnt respond to any messages, then announced he was leaving. Nice. Between being out $90 for pins I dont want and the high cost of shipping, Ive really cut back on trading. I dont buy traders anymore and am only trading for pins I really want. Good luck to everyone in getting thier pins, I hope they all show up for you!
 
Well over a month. Approaching 6 weeks. Unanswered pm's. feeling really burned. Spent $ on a grail and have not heard from him or rec'd my pin. I am fairly new despite my start date showing last year and have bought pins and traded with others but this has me worried since he was so highly rated. Thinking I'm going to have to uncheck my grail I my sig. Very disheartening
 
He was quick to ask me to pay the fees when I didn't send as a gift. As to which I then did :( I ordered a few off my wants. I hope we get our pins soon. I'm new and all I've had is stress so far when it comes to pins.

I spent $90 too which is a lot for me. Fingers crossed they turn up tomorrow.

$90 is a lot for me too and I would rather have spent it on pins I wanted instead of ones HE wanted. I'm just glad I didnt send them to him! Like I said, I had traded with him in the past and everything went great, so I was really surprised and disappointed when this happened. Hope you all get your pins or your money back.

Things I've sent to the UK have taken up to 2 months to arrive. Granted, that has only happened once. Usually they arrive within 3 weeks.
 
It's not arrived this morning either. It will be 3 weeks on Wednesday. I know things can take a while to get over here but since others have come forward it's made me even more worried. I checked PayPal and I sent him just over $100.
