Thief...

It always sucks when it happens. I have had two problems total in all my years that I could not resolve through the bank. This is what I finally did both times. I sent a very nice email explaining that I was going on a business trip and would be not far from them (pick a date at least two weeks out). Ask them to have the items ready for pickup as you will be stopping by their home personally.

This worked for the lady in Tennessee - I had the item in a week. It did not work for the guy up in Canada (guess he figured I'm not coming by for a $12 part).

The fear of having to meet someone in person by having them show up at your door will motivate most people. The problem with internet purchases is that you are simply a computer screen to them - and nobody is scared of a computer screen. Remember - non-threatening email or postal letter.

Good luck -

Ron
