Title: Anyone heard from user Iketown300 lately?
Post by: jkiser01 on October 20, 2004, 01:06:58 AM
I have done serveral great deals with him but have not been able to reach him for several days. We both shipped balls out to each other on 10/13 and he has received his (I tracked it) and I still don't have mine. The tracking number he gave me shows the package has been in one location for 6 days. Its obvious he shipped it out but I need his assistance to call fed ex to find out whats going on. I have called them twice and got nothing..

Just curious if anyone has had any contact with him the past couple of days..

I still do not have my ball and I have still not heard from iketown300. He used to be on here several times a day and its been 3 days and no answer to any messages I have sent him. It "appears" he shipped a ball on 10/13 but I still do not have it. I need his help getting fed ex to find it.

Just called fed again and they can't find the package and can't do anything until 10/25. I still have not had any contact with iketown300 and If they can't locate the package by next Wednesday, I need him to do some sort of waiver so I can file an insurance claim.

Once again, if anyone knows of him, or talks to him on this forum, please let me know. I believe his name is Russell or Issac Brownfield and he lives in Lowell, Indiana. I have done several deals on here with him and hope this does not turn into a bad situation for us both..

Just my two cents worth. He seems to lose track of deals from time to time. About two months ago I paid him for a ball and waited two weeks thinking it was in transit. After not receiving it for those two weeks, I attempted to contact him and finally he sent me back a pm stating that my ball was coming from someone else and he would look into it. To make a long story short, he seems to like to do third party deals while not disclosing it to the buyer. I waited for two months before receiving a refund from him. It was always "in the mail." I had some help from Joe Falco and PJR300 on this site. They helped me put some pressure on him. Ike doesn't seem like a bad guy, he just seems to get involved with more than he can handle. Don't worry, you'll get you're ball, or at least a refund. He is a man of his word, even if it does take two months to settle.

Just my two cents worth.

mrfish,

Thanks for the comments. I have also done numerous deals with him but this one is really bothering me. He shipped the ball on 10/13 but fed ex cannot find it and I need him to file a claim on the ball being lost so I can at least get some money for the lost ball. They will not let me as the receiver file a claim without his authorization since he was the shipper.

I have tried emailing him, sending him numerous messages on this forum and nothing. No contact from him at all..

If anyone has an alternate way to contact this user, please pm me and let me know.

dirtbikebowler, where you able to contact him on aim anymore this week?

Thanks,

jkiser01

jkeiser .. I went back and checked on this guy IKE .. seems like a few months back there was a lot of GOOD THINGS said about him. Appears you are the SECOND in only a few months that is having problems. What ball were you getting in the exchange? Seems like you KNOW your ball was delivered .. leads you to believe there was sufficient time for HIS BALL to be delivered!

There is always the possibility the DELIVERY SERVICE had a problem .. BUT .. as you indicated .. the SENDER has to get involved .. and .. if YOU CAN'T get in touch with him .. that causes ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS!

One of the most important things is to keep the integrity of sales made via BR .. if we can't DEPEND on our members .. can you depend on ANYONE?

Please keep us up to date on progress of any kind. Thanks!

JOE FALCO,

I know he got his ball. I tracked it and as far as mine goes, he shipped a ball out on 10/13 and its been sitting at the same place since 10/15 and Fed ex can't find it. This is where I need iketown300 to get involved to call Fed Ex ground and file an insurance clain. I can't do it because I am the recipient and the sender needs to initiate that request..

I personally have had several very good transactions with this user and he used to answer my private messages the same day, but for some reason he has seemed to disappear for the past 5-6 days.

I hope he contacts me soon so we can get this taken care of..

OK guys, it now appears as though iketown300 is ignoring my messages and mails. I sent the last message so I could see when he read it and he in fact did read it earlier this afternoon along with the 4 or 5 other messages I have sent him. There is no doubt he knows I am trying to contact him and he is for some reason ignoring me..

Ike, if you are reading this, why are you not contacting me so we can take care of this? You have your ball and mine is lost and I need your help getting this taken care of. I am not sure why you have been ignoring me but I am not happy about this at all..

It now appears as though this deal is going south very quickly. I will keep posting updates on this situation as they happen.

I check the "save in sent box" myself so I know when people have logged in and read messages also.  Come on Ike, tell jkiser01 what's going on.  It's obvious now that you know there is a problem.

Wonder what made this IKE guy get messed up! A while back GOOD people were saying fantastic things about him ..
http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=61128&ForumID=71&CategoryID=5

Now suddenly he has two problem deals one after the other.

jkiser01 (sorry I misspelled before) .. what ball were you expecting from Ike .. might be interesting to post .. see if anyone else knows of that ball .. maybe Ike is double dealing .. just curious!

thanks g_thing for the comments. I agree, a deal is not COMPLETED for me until I know the other person has their ball in hand.

On a side note, I STILL have not heard from Iketown300 so at this point I am going to tell everyone on this site DO NOT DEAL with this user. He has read my messages and emails, I know that. His father sent me a message last night saying Ike had been bsuy with bowling and school and that he "should" have time to get back with me today.. What kind of crap is that.. That is all NOT my problem. I am not asking for an hour of his time, I need him to take 5 minutes to call fed ex and tell them its OK for me to file a claim on my lost ball. I don't think thats asking that much..

Come on IKE, lets get this taken care of ASAP.. I am tired of waiting to hear from you. I sent my ball to you in good faith and tracked it so I know you have it..

Jim, sent you a message as i have finally got a moment of time to come online.  I did NOT read your messages until today and your email today.  My dad comes on br.com and reads my messages and looks through the site but never handles any of my deals or anything to do with one.  The messages were shown read cause in fact he read them not me.  He called me last night when i was at work and told me about this and so I am messaging you right now.  I sent you a message about this so just let me know.

UPDATE: I still do NOT have the ball and I am having a very hard time dealing with fed ex as the recipient. I was going to try to take care of this on my end, but its becoming way to much trouble. I still feel as if its the shipper/buyers responsibility to make sure the item is delivered to the recipient before the deal can be considered COMPLETE, but was trying to help ike out because he has school work (and we have done multiple deals in the past) and bowling but this whole thing has worn me down. Iketwown had contacted me a few days ago stating he would call fedex last Monday am but don't really know what they told him. The fed ex person today told me there where no notes in the file stating the shipper had ever called them. I have no clue how accurate there records are as far as that goes.

I have sent iketwown300 a message stating that he should go ahead and pay me for the ball and file the claim himself. Fed ex people have been telling me the normal procedure is for the SHIPPER to file the claim, NOT the recipient. I have yet to hear back from iketwown on this.

As a very reputable seller/buyer on this forum, I have in the past had this happen one other time and I as the seller and shipper of the item, went ahead and paid the buyer and filed the claim myself and received the funds back from the shipping company in approx 2 weeks after the claim was filed.

I am hoping iketown300 will agree to this request. This original deal was a one for one trade, plus $8 (for shipping) and he already has his ball.

I will keep everyone updated. This has been a nightmare. Talking to fed ex everyday on the phone and can't get a straight answer as to where the package is and what to do to get the claim process started..

IKE .. what bothers me about this .. you had enough time TO MAKE THE DEAL .. now suddenly you HAVE NO TIME! You were smart enough to MAKE THE DEAL there's NO REASON why you shouldn't do the right thing to finalize the deal with JKISER .. get his ball back to him .. PAY him .. whatever it takes to clear it up. YOU MADE A DEAL AND IT's NOT COMPLETE .. FINISH IT! Get it OVER WITH!

Joe,

I agree.. All I want is the ball he traded me or the money for the ball he got from me, thats IT!! Nothing more, nothing less..

Iketown300, please answer me messages. I know someone has read them.. I am trying really hard to give you the "benefit of the doubt" because we have done so many deals in the past, but my patience is getting very thin..

UPDATE: Just for kicks I tracked the package a few seconds ago and it states:


 Oct 28, 2004   4:34 AM
 
 On FedEx vehicle for delivery    
 
 IRVING, TX  

I guess fed ex mysteriously found the package after it was lost 12 days ago. I won't believe it until its in my hands. Lets see what happens.

I am just wondering how many "pieces" the ball will be in..

I will keep everyone updated on this continuing saga..

How could i show "ignorance and lag"  if i had no idea of him not having his ball.  As soon as i did find out i asked jim what he needed me to do, call fedex and send him an email about some info.  Ask him and he will tell you i did so.  I don't blame that he is mad but it's not like i didn't ship the ball.  He knows each and every time we do a deal we both come through.  All our previous deals took place during the summer and such when I was not working as much or going to school at all and also bowled only 1 league during the summer season.  We made the deal awhile back and almost since then i have been working everyday, college 4 days a week and bowling 3 days.  There is no days ahead that will be as hectic as college is.  Not only do you have to go for so long you have to study and do hours on end of homework whereas when you get a job, you work 9-5, 8-4 etc and come home free to do whatever you want.  Not the case with college.  How can I have had time when all I did was get up go to school and right after school go to bowling league or work?

Ike .. looks like you have enough on your table .. school is much more important then TRADING BOWLING BALLS! You never know WHEN a deal is going to have problems. If you don't have the time to stay with a deal you enter into .. then best you not make any! From what Jim reports it APPEARS that settlement is on the horizon. Glad to see it's heading in the right direction . Lots of luck with the SCHOOL! IT AIN'T EASY!!

Well I would have enough time but a fellow employee had a death in the family and took off a week and I am the only one capable of doing every position at the bowling alley, except bartending for age reasons, and have been called to work everyday that she has not been there.  It's not what GTHING ASSUMES, that i just made a deal and left jim high and dry.  Jim should know this and hopefully he told gthing that me and jim have done at least 5-7 deals before and everything ran smooth as silk and we both made sure things were done on both sides.  But of course I would expect nothing else than for gthing to automatically defend jim cause he is a good friend, but gthing has gotten way too out of hand with his ridiculous accusations.  If anyone should have said anything at all remotely like that it should have been Jim, but again it wasn't my fault that fedex lost the package.  But i totally understand where jim is coming from, i would get upset with fedex too if they lost a package.

OK, I FINALLY got the ball today, so lets put all this to rest.. Fed ex lost the package for 12 days and then found it.. I spent way to much time on the phone talking to fed ex, but thats the way things go I guess..
