Talked to seller, I just will wait it out.
I purchased a Caster tool from Forum member Aug 18, paid by pay pal. sent me a tracking number, package went to every post office in the state, kept bouncing from one to another, contacted seller asking for his address to file a search, he wouldn’t reply. Today I went to post office, postmaster said it’s a fraudulent tracking number. Still no reply’s from Redliner99, I obtained paperwork to file mail fraud, contacted pay pal, they are doing their checking. The amount was only $70.00. I’m sure that $70.00 won’t begin to pay for what this guy will see in the near future. If you have any doubt about this claim here in mu USPS tracking number: 9500106579561230901434, The $70 is nothing, I want the tool he said he is selling???

I obviously don't know your deal or whatever the tool loan/sale situation redliner is doing (I remember that thread, I was a bit confused by the whole thing), but I will tell you he's not a fly-by-night member here. I've PMed with him several times on other topics, he's always responsive and seems like a good guy. I hope you guys work things out and hope this is just a misunderstanding. I can't see why anyone would destroy their own reputation over $70. But stranger things have happened.

Not defending either side, but I've never heard of a fraudulent tracking number. Either it's valid, or it's not. That said, I've never seen a package bounce around that much. However, I don't know how you can make a package bounce around like that. To me, it looks like a USPS issue at this point. Something was sent and is moving through the system. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt until the USPS loop is closed.

The USPS is a hot mess these days. I've had many packages do just as yours is doing. It would go from PO to PO endlessly. They always showed up in the end. Good luck with your package.

looks like a normal USPS shitshow. Until the package isn't delivered, declared lost by USPS or you file a dispute via Paypal you really can't do anything else.

It's not a fraudulent tracking number if they are scanning the package. I work nights and hadn't had time to respond. I don't have control over usps I sent the package. For anyone wondering here is my thread with many happy people. I have sold almost 100 of these with no issues.

I’ve bought one from redliner and he hand delivered it to me over an hour away. Since then, ive been in constant contact with him and have watched him personally ship numerous units out. If you are having a problem I can guarantee it is with ups and not him. He is as legit as it gets.

Post office claims there isn’t a package. It was explained that if a tracking number is in there computer and there isn’t a package to go with it, that tracking number automatically moves to the next post office. It will continue for 60 days, then it’s removed and insurance claim is paid. You could have many happy people, I’m not

for the fourth time please call me. Im more than happy to make it right before you went and made this thread. I told you a few days ago I had 3 other packages in your area doing the same thing. I would have been more than happy to make it right for you

I have your messages, not once have you offered to make it right, your response was “ I have another package that is having the same problem, never though USPS was that crappy. I have six messages to you, you never responded, until now, I was out of options, so I took my problem to the forum.

I have responded every single time you have messaged me. And even the day I sent it out I said I would eat it send another if it didn't show up. Pics included with my sent messages and YOU not replying.
First communication where I mentioned the computer wouldn't find his town. I said I would send another if it didn't show up. Lady at post office assured me it was same zip code so it wouldn't be an issue

Spent 15minutes on the phone with the post office they said it's a real package because it's been scanned so many time. Filing a claim so a real person will find this package. 3:44mst still no phone call or message reply from retired 2006
