Well thanks for clearing my name, and glad to see that it finally made it in.. But FYI to you and all forum members, I have been in contact with you on this and have the messages saved in my inbox, also my sent messages.. so I was keeping in touch with you on this situation and would have been more than happy to return your monies if you never received it.. $25 is not worth skipping town on..
I would buy from you.

I've only had one transaction with a forum member and the transaction went fine. The only delay in the whole thing was the fact that I had thrown out my back and needed to get a box large enough for the item. At the time, I could barely move much less get outta the house. I kept intouch with the purchaser and explained the situation. He was most understanding. VERY understanding considering he had already sent me the shipping costs in cash. I felt horrible about the delay and I didn't want him to lose faith in a fellow forum member. Thank goodness, he did not. I have the utmost faith in our members and am secure in the feeling that the vast majority of us here are folks with integrity and goodwill. "Calling someone out" here on the forum is a slippery slope at best. 
If I were the seller in this case, I would be a bit pissed. Glad you got your parts- And to the seller, try not to be offended however hard that may be.

I am glad you received your stuff, but I disagree with your method here. If you truly only wanted to warn other members, you don't throw the guy under the bus from the start. If I were c3 in Hawaii, I would still be upset simply because everyone remembers the bad news much longer than they remember the retraction.
I agree. I don't think you get to say "I wasn't trying to ruin anyone's name" when you posted the guys name and complained. It seems every one of these postings that seem to be because of an impatient buyer turns out like this.
It's actually a good example of why all the ebay sellers are up in arms and actually boycotting the feedback changes over there. Quite often buyers behave like this and now the sellers have no recourse after the fact. Similar to what Kevinator says, it's tough to unring a bell.

Gumby - I have dealt with C3 in hawaii & have had good dealings. Granted, you want your items, but this stuff is for fun. If he shipped it - it is out of his control. Not responding is something else 
I guess next time I'll just charge twice as much for shipping through fedex or ups so it can be tracked..
I guess that's what I get for trying to save someone some money..

If time is critical and $$ are not, then I'd be paying some other vendor extra $$ for anxiety relief.

Well, irony has its calling and I am a a$$ 
It came in today..the sameday I decided to post this. There was a mix up and it was sent to the wong house
As I said before, I was not trying to ruin anyone's name, just stating to be careful when making purchases. Thanks to all the replies for help information.

This is when you should have asked a moderator to delete this thread.
Now at the very least you might want to edit the 1st post explaining that you jumped the gun so the lazy reader won't get the wrong impression about C3 in Hawaii.
