Kingfisher 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2004 I'm actually still waiting for a set of flies to arrive from welshtyer; I imagine they're just taking longer than expected in the post. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kingfisher 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2005 Hello all, First, please allow me to apologize for not visiting and addressing these issues earlier; my professional and personal schedules have been so busy the past two months that I haven’t checked any messages coming from the forum nor have I had the time to visit it. I wasn’t aware that any issues with packages not arriving existed; all flies and books were sent out end of November/beginning of December, as they were supposed to. I received an e-mail from DFix Friday asking me what had happened, and I was surprised to discover (yet again) that our local post office appears to have misplaced multiple packages. We are still, in fact, going through the motions of locating a lost package from October that was worth quite a lot of money. I don’t know what else to say except that I’m sorry for this terrible inconvenience. I am going to the post office today to speak with the supervisor regarding this matter. In the meantime, I have not deposited any payments from the books, since I haven’t had the time to even stop by the bank. I will return all payments to the people that were interested in books; if the books somehow show up, please be good enough to let me know and we can either arrange payment then or you can return it (them), it’s up to you. Flies from swaps, I can’t replace. The only thing I can do is offer to replace postage; I am sorry about this. If anyone would care to contact me and suggest a better alternative, then by all means please do so. Again, my deepest apologies for this mess; I have learned that our local postal service cannot be trusted with any packages whatsoever, and I will try to get to the bottom of this.

uncletube 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2005 Kingfisher, I have worked for the postal service in the past and they frown seriously on mail being mishandled . You may have to contact the Postal Inspector for your area if going to the local office doesn't produce results. I know that you will get a response from the Inspector and the responsible party will be in a world of crap. This is not only frustrating for the swappers ,but ,refelects badly on you as well. I am sure that you are a stand up guy and don't want to see your rep hurt by some airhead at the local post office. You could post some pix in the meantime, I think that would help aleveate some of the frustration on our ( the swappers) part. Tube Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshtyer 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 hi kingfisher ,i was wondering why i hadnt heard any thing after sending the flies off,obviously the problems you are having are not your fault,we some times get the same problems wih the post over here also, dont worry about the postage as i wont go bankrupt over it ,the real shame are the flies but looks like we have to put it down to experience. best regards welshtyer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
