    Never would sell my first DE razor. Most likely put it some place and forgot where.

    So 2 weeks later, still waiting on Ach Brito Lavanda shaving cream and Italian Palmolive shaving cream from Maggard Razors. FedEx has lost the package and Maggard reshipped the order yesterday, thankfully via USPS and not FedEx again. Excellent customer service.

    I watched the FedEx tracking and once the package got to Memphis, Tennessee, instead of coming straight down to Olive Branch, Mississippi and then straight down to here in Jackson, Mississippi - as it always always always does - it instead went from Memphis to somewhere in Kansas where it then went "in transit" to Southaven, Mississippi now for a week.

    So hopefully soon, I'll finally get to experience Lavanda. :angry032:

    And if the original order ever does show up, I have promised Maggard I will let them know and either send it back to them or just pay for it as if it was a new order.

    Yes. It's gotten bad for all of them but FedEx has gone from the best to the worst. During an earnings conference call last week, the head boss at FedEx admitted that they are rerouting 600,000 packages A DAY because they don't have enough employees to sort and work them. That's probably why my package ended up from Memphis, Tennessee all the way out in Kansas.

    Crazy shipping times. After waiting a month for my Brush Lot from France with 2 Gibbs brushes in the lot I had them do a search and after 3 more weeks they said according to the shipper it's Lost and refunded my money. Wanted the brushes but it is what it is..........

    Yes, the foreign shipping creates even more issues. I'm over a month now waiting on 2 Yaqi brushes from Yaqi China. Fingers crossed the Gillette Quick Twist makes it to me from Australia. :scared001:

    Your brushes are probably off the coast of california in one of the many container ships waiting to get offloaded due to rise of online shipping.

    Not a good day for incoming. The Nam kit was a joke. Mismatch set obviously as was stated already and NOT unused. Wrapped in cellophane to look like it in the pictures. The soap container is cracked Bur I will try to glue it. The Soap is new anyway. Hopefully it's Williams.............

    The Aristocrat was a nightmare with abysmal communication from the seller who refunded me the money. I feel he realized he priced it too low at $80.............I may NEVER own one. That's all.............Better days are coming :D

    I have bid on things before that someone didn’t know what they had then they stopped the auction and sent me a note saying someone told them what it was and they restarted at a higher bid. Maybe that’s what happened.

    It was a BIN listing, yes? And after you purchased it he decided he didn't want to sell it to you and just refunded your money? I would definitely leave negative feedback on that as well as reported to eBay. They always say when you commit to buy something, it's a contract and you must pay. The same applies to sellers.

    Someone probably messaged him and offered him more. Its a growing practice
