Angry Nicifer - I suggest you read this and fix immediately

Nickifer

Ok dude. I order a paintball marker with barrel, hopper, mask and tank (to surprise my son of all people)

You send me a box full of junk tools you cleaned out of a garage, a marker with no barrel that I am guessing is probably junk and a tank.

I suggest you step up, explain and give me my funds back. I can always come to your house (hey, I have TONS of frequent flyer miles to use) and I can pick up my funds.

For benefit of the doubt's sake, I am placing his reply below. If he is right and this gets taken care of, I will be more than willing to post again and clear this up. He has always seemed like a cool guy and has been on the forums a long time, but you never know these days and my trust just isnt that great with people I dont know. So we will see. But, to be fair up front:

Dave,

I swear that I loaded the box with everything you requested. A mask, Black hopper, 20oz tank, the Tippmann and the barrel.

I have no clue where the tools are coming from. I mean seriously I would not f*ck anyone over by doing this. Please send me pictures. I swear Ill get this solved as fast as I possibly can.

Did the box have any irregular rips on the side? There could be a possibility that someone jacked all the stuff while it was in transit. Im serious man please believe me.

I packed the box with newspaper, air bags, and peanuts, VERY tightly. If there was any space amongst the junk then someone took stuff out. I swear man.

To get the pics of the stuff to me faster feel free to text them to me.---- Removing his number for privacy sake ----If I am correct and someone tampered with it while it was intransit I will go to the post office and demand an answer.

Im a good guy. I would not screw someone over like this. Damn, I wish I took a pic of it all before I shipped it out.

Situation has been handled. Cant say for sure, but it appears to be a tampered package... although I cant see why someone at the post office would have taken only part of the equipment. The package was then filled with a bunch of antiquated telephone system test equipment and junk tools/random items.

Nick issued me a full refund and I will ship back the paintball marker and tank that was still in the package. He took care of this right away.

Yeah, it really made no sense at all. Why not just take everything in the box? And they put in about 3 times the weight of the original package. They took a barrel, a mask that was cracked ($5) and the hopper. Of course, I didnt have a way to test the marker, so it is possible that they swapped a broken one in place of the one that was in the box. But no way to tell right now. Either way, I am shipping him back the marker and tank.
