if his feedback is 91+ then he sounds good,check thru what people have written and see if hes shipped overeas before,99% of them over on the museum are decent people,ive bought loads from the states witthout a single hitch,i reckon the posties may well have had it :tickedoff:

I bought a Letterman baseball jacket from LA the guy lived near our LA office to save $50 p+p i asked him if he could drop it there no probs the receptionist called me in the uk and said its been delivered and also said its brand new and described it perfectly my mate posted it in a shipment that was coming over that night.Bearing in mind it was coming in with a $500k movie camera the case arrived with the camera but no jacket i called my mate he said that he had defo put it in the case.
i called our shipping agent and asked if USA customs would have removed it! He replied no because it's technically 2nd hand they wouldn't touch it (it could be a gift or being returned to owner therefore NO COMMERCIAL VALUE)
Then added those words we don't wanna hear FLIPPIN BAGGAGE HANDLER'S........IF I WANTED TO PURSUE IT AS A CASE (CRIME) against the airline i would only get the weight value which is currently £30 per kilo! regardless of what it is.Moral of this story pay the full shipping/postal cost's and also insure and get tracking numbers....fedx.ups as they have a closed domain once its collected.

blimey, it's laughable for the seller to even suggest the wheel was switched ;D

The wheels went AWOL for 2 months so the switching as unlikely as it seems could have been done due to the timescale added to that it was in a skyway box so to the right person could possibly attract attention.
I do have photos as he sent through photos to show me the condition of the Panaracers.
If I was reading this post I'd think exactly as you but he's been in contact a few times today and hopefully we can resolve it.
Either way still on the look out for a minty white alloy front .... anyone, anyone ....... like that's gonna happen :'(
Thanks for comments
Cheers

Are the tyres still on there? Makes the switcheroo scenario sound even more laughable.
The seller wasn't Heath Mahaffy was it? That guy ripped off countless people all over the world - can any of the old guard remember him? :10_2_12:
