So i bought his 178 invaders with the fks 185s that he had for sale and he sent me a PM saying this.

Got the skis to be shipped for you mid-sept.


Well, he's in the army now and i cant get ahold of him so i was just wondering if any NSer knew him or could make sure that i do in fact get the skis.  Right now its been almost a month since ive talked to him last and he's off of NS forever since he's in boot camp.  I was just hoping that somehow another nice NSer can make sure that this transaction actually goes through. 

THANKS NS

He's a legit kid and member of NS

Fuck all these people making excuses for shitty business! If you're selling your shit because you're going into the Army, then make sure you get it shipped off before you ship off.

^^^No, shit comes up fast in the military.  Sometimes there isn't much you can do about it.

I have Jeff's number, so PM me if you need to get a hold of him.  He is legit.

im sure jeff would never intentionally rip someone off.
jeff has been a member of ns for 5 or 6 years now. i would be patient, maybe they got sent back to him and he will re send them once he is out of basic.
smail and i both know him and i wouldn't be worried at all.

Yeah jeff is a super legit guy and NS member, im just afraid that maybe he put somebody else who isnt as legit as him in charge of shipping the sticks since he's off in basic.  I have his number too, but i think it does no good since hes gone.  Oh and to the kid who hated on him- Not cool.

I did some business with him before and bought a helmet and hoodie from him and it went super super smoothly.

probably the most legit kid ive ever dealt with on ns. you will get your skis. like stated above, he has gone into the army so someone else will get them to you, stop freaking out man.

Hey guys its october now and still no skis.  Does anybody have any way i can get ahold of him?  I tried getting ahold of him on his old phone, but im pretty sure he doesnt use it anymore since he's in the army so does anybody have an e-mail address that you know he checks or any way that i could reach him for sure?

this is why you ship UPS so if he says he shipped, you have tracking info so you know where the goods are at

If he's in basic he won't  be able to use phones and internet for  a few  weeks.  I'm not sure what day he started, but my basic was 2 months.  He made a mistake not getting those out before he left, I'm sure he will make it up to you.

surely people on here are homies with him and most likely could access the skis and mail them... someone take care of this shit so this poor kid can go skiing!

I'd say PM all his friends on here and see if they can either get ahold of him or sumthing.
He had to leave someone in charge of his house and stuff and if you can convince them to ship those skis out your set. I'm sure someone like a neighbor or relative has a key to his house, and it sounds like he's legit and wouldn't mind someone doing that for him...

Try a paypal cash back thing. Open a claim. You will either get your stuff or money.
Who cares if army shit came up fast of not. You joined and knew it. You put the stuff for sale. You are responsible to get it out.
If it was paypal, try emailing him and aking

if the dude was really that legit im sure he would have had his family send them out months ago.
and usually when your selling something it ready to ship pretty much. what, did he get the money then like eh ill wait a few weeks to find a box, then next thing he knows he shipping out? at the very least he could asked his family or one of his homies to simply ship them for him
dont tell this kid to chill. at this point in time you have a right to be pissed as hell!
