Hey all,

So a little over a month ago i responded to a trade thread to trade for some pins that i wanted through DPF. It snowballed into a 6 pin multi trade and once we nailed down all the details i mailed my pin the next day. Well a little over a month later i am still yet to receive my pins, granted the member said they were having a bunch of issues with the post office and what, but i am starting to get the feeling i got hustled and now im not out just one good pin but 6. I was curious what others would do in this situation? And is there anything I can do? Or am I jumping the gun and should give it more time? I have been completely understanding thus far but it just seems a little ridiculous now..
 
Great...another reason for me to be timid about pin trading. I would contact a mod asap and get this issue dealt with.
 
I also agree... a month is ridiculous for shipping issues... there has got to be other reasons... I wouldn't wait much longer to deal with it...

I must say that this is the first time i have had any issues with mail pin trading for the past 2 maybe 3 years, and I do a fair share of trading via pinpics because I am also not very close to the parks so please don't be discouraged from trading through the mail and yes I will contact a mod I just didn't want for their to be any bad blood between me and the member.
 
I really think that if you don't want there to be any bad blood between you and another member, the best thing is not to post publicly at all. Even though you don't mention them by name, the person knows you're posting to everyone about them, and somehow sooner or later people always figure out who it is by the details.
 

+1 It be nice if people would talk to mods and admins about this kind of issue.
 
This is a bummer and I am so sorry that you find yourself in this pickle.

Is your trading partner outside USA ?? If yes, a month may be possible. Otherwise, our mods always have been nice and helpful.

Also, if this issue does not resolve, pls leave appropriate feedback for the other member so others can be protected from something like this occuring again.
