I got the shaft too
« on: May 27, 2003, 08:39:29 AM »
I have been ripped off too.  Beware of "Hydranine".  I sent him money for a used Fuze and never got it.  I didn't want to seem like I was bugging him by asking for a tracking number more than twice.  He came up with lame excuses why he did not have it.  Then when the ball didn't arrive and I started asking questions, he said he would check on his end, still no tracking number.  He says UPS must have lost the ball.  After a week or so, we agreed to him giving me a refund.  He supposedly sends me a refund check.  So, I wait another week or so.  STILL, nothing.  When I ask him about this, he says the post office must have lost that as well.  I am getting pissed by now and ask for a registered letter with a tracking number to be sent through UPS.  He is mad because he says he is out money for a stop payment on a check, but says he will get a refund check soon.  That was three weeks ago.  This has been going back and forth for almost two months now, and I don't think he ever had the ball I was supposed to buy from him.  Even if he did send it and UPS lost it, insurance is free up to $100, so he still made money from UPS.  I can't belive that UPS AND USPS BOTH lost his stuff.  DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEADBEAT!!!!!!!!!!

?  You had trouble with Hydranine?  I find that hard to believe, but I guess just because somebody's a good bowler doesn't mean they're a saint.  Got a few of those in my area.

I am waiting for Bryan (hydranine) to post something, or not.  I don't think he ever had a Fuze that I was supposed to buy from him, so I don't think he has any balls!!!!!!

No, I don't know him at all, actually.  I haven't seen him post here in forever though, but he just didn't SEEM like somebody that would do that.  Just an observation.  If you got ripped off, you got ripped off, and I guess there are only certain people that are above "stealing" from their fellow man.  Or woman . . .

Sorry Hamster, sounded like you knew him.  You are right though, I have not seen him post here for quite some time, but when he answered my post about a Purple Fuze, I had seen him on a regular basis on here.  Also, he is ripping off women as the Fuze was for my wife!!!!

I've been waiting for over 2 months to get this resolved, and how was I to know he was in a car wreck?  You are right though, $45 is not too bad to loose, but it is the principal.  He says he owns his own buisness and makes good money, I just didn't want him ripping off any young folks.  I'll be waiting by my mailbox and will post again when (if) anything arrives.  If anything arrives, maybe I'll belive what seems like crap he has been feeding me since April....

There is no record of that item. If it was mailed recently, information may not yet be available. Please try again later.  
 


FYI,
Unlike UPS which tracks the entire trip, the USPS tracking number only enters their database, after the package is delivered. Until then it's just a number on the package/envelope.

TOON,

 $45.00 should be a big deal and the Hydro does need to make sure he keeps in contact or at least have someone do it for him even when in a car crash. Giving people a benefit of a doubt does not and should not excuse such dealings. That is why I will no longer deal across the internet for anything. Buy local support your pro shop...
