<p>[QUOTE="LukeGob, post: 24636319, member: 73885"]I've only had 1 bad Vcoins experience & it was pretty similar. Was a German dealer, bought a coin, eventually get a tracking #, check it in a few & German Post doesn't have it yet, give it 1 1/2 wk & chk again & still not there. I figure no prob, shit happens, shit back & wait another week +. Check again & still not received by Post. I email vendor from address from which they sent tracking #, no reply. Email again after a week (post still doesn't have it). Another week & change, no reply, I email through Vcoins & finally get a reply after a few that says something like it's lost & will refund. I ask for clarification, offer to wait it out & see if it shows up. Explains that he had got it all packaged & got a shipping label, set it in his car, & then it disappeared (probably accidentally thrown out with some car-trash). Left it at 'if it ever shows back up, I'd still like to buy it, so please let me know.' </p><p>It was annoying, & I'm still disappointed (it was a cool coin), but I believe that that IS what happened. Sucks worse for the dealer, in all honestly. </p><p>Moral = Crazy shit happens; the world is crazy place overfilled with crazy people doing all manner of crazy nonsense. Very easily could be something like what happened with me. Vcoins does a pretty good job vetting their vendors, it would take a lot to make me think one was acting nefariously (mistakes happen, that's different). </p><p>You have some red-flags, you definitely do, and it sucks being in that situation with the clock ticking on the deadline to contest the charges. Yeah. I'd cut a Vcoins dealer a LOT of slack, though. </p><p>Good luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
