Ok.
Time for a callout / request for information
I purchased a pair of gloves + a hoodie from
*D_ling* about a month ago.
Seemed like a legit kid, but nothing recieved as yet.
I'm looking for some info:
1. Does anyone know him?
2. Is this kid legit?
3. Has this kid gone on vacation or something? He hasn't been online since the 27th. (I know a few weeks without being on NS isn't something to get wrapped up about, but it perfectly coincides with him lying about when he sent the gear and then disappearing)
4. Does anyone have some contact details for him.
Background:
Purchased shit from this thread
STUFF FOR SALE HOODIE JACKET PANTs ETC.
Some correspondence which triggered me to write this - including DIRECTLY lying about when he 'sent' the goods. Read bottom up.

All paid man..if you have any other schwag you could throw in, it would be appreciated!
Also please make sure you send via airmail, not sea - sea mail takes up to 6 weeks, airmail 6-10 days.
Thanks homie.

Now, I understand that people are busy and all that shit, but if I am prepared to pay someone within minutes, there is NO reason why the seller shouldn't hold up their end of the bargain and ship my gear within a reasonable timeframe (a few days at best). If you can't ship on time - STATE IT IN THE SALE THREAD.
I reinforced that airmail was imperative because sea mail takes 3 months, whereas airmail takes 7-10 days.
My ski season started today. I don't have gloves. It is also winter and I want my fucking hoodie.
BOTTOM LINE:
Just because I am in Australia, doesn't mean that you have the right to fuck me over. It also doesn't mean that I am unable to do anything about it if you do decide to fuck me over.
I have successfully traded many thousands of dollars worth of goods with over 30 people here and I have been fucked over three times from buying things from kids on this website, this is potentially the fourth.
I am fucking sick of it and this time I will be following it up and I WILL receive my goods or I WILL receive my money back.
I have the time, I have the resources and I most definitely have the fucking motivation to do so.
I have only ever been good to the members here, and for someone to straight up stick that shit in my face, it goes down to the bone..
There may very well be a good explanation for why this kid hasn't been online, if so - i'd appreciate if someone that knows this Pat Darling could let me know.
I don't like making these threads when they aren't warranted. Public callouts aren't cool, although nor is telling someone they will get gear in a week or so and making them wait a month without any result.
Peace
