Update w/ Alin & Canada Customs Problem

[Qwert]

Since my thread about this has now been locked, I had to start this new one to put up an update. As Alin asked, I e-mailed him back with my info. I was then e-mailed back saying the same thing, 'sorry, won't resend without a seizure letter'. Then something even stranger occurred, I was told that he had resent packages to me in the past without seizure letters & wouldn't do it anymore. Now this is impossible, as I have never had any packages not arrive or get seized EVER, & the longest any package has taken to arrive was 3 weeks. I don't know if their data base is confusing me with someone else or if they're having problems in their shipping dept, but this is just really odd behavior. I guess I'll have to go elsewhere for my postcards. I had a wonderful bunch of years with Alin & his service used to be great, but I just can't get past being treated this way after being a customer for years & always supporting him on the BB msg boards. It's really disrespectful & bad customer relations. I'm very sad!!!

I can understand why he wouldn't resend without a seizure letter, as you would too, if you read the 'Alinshop Information'. Canadian post can not be trusted to update their site regularly. I've done business with MANY in this game and I respect none more than Alin. You complaining about a resend instead of just waiting for the seizure letter and flaming Alin, is just showing that you really should just stick to domestic, as MANY international supps won't even resend an order apon receipt of a seizure letter. You knew what you were dealing with when you got in this game, sit back relax and wait for the seizure letter.....Like Lats said, there is nothing more that needs to be said about this subject.......

I don't care anymore, if Alin doesn't want to resend, that's fine. These were stealths that would've never been seized anyway. 1/2 the order got here in 2 weeks, the other 1/2, even though it was sent 2 days later, hasn't arrived 10 weeks later. Canada post isn't that bad a service. I did as Alin asked a few days ago, sent him the info again, & he came back with the same answer 'no resend'. I don't understand why he'd even ask me to send him the info again if he was going to just say the same thing.

Btw, I am not flaming Alin. I still like him & wish him the best with his business. I'm just telling it like it is, & from the PMs I've received, I'm not the only one is this type predicament.

Hey bro if you are not flaming ALIN then why keep posting these complaints. I understand your sadness....as I have been there with other sources but come on bro, you have to understand where ALIN is coming from. Im sure this thread will be locked as well as it should be, but remember this can happen with anyone out there so buck down and find one source you like and stick with him but understand no matter what you may lose at points and it is no flaut of the source unless you sent him/her the proper articals they request to resend and still do not resend. Like one already said some do not even resend for the safety of them with a notice. ALIN will but wait for the letter and send it off

Bump that, why do you keep posting if you don't care. Until you recieve a siezure letter you don't know if someone simply jacked your gear bro. YOU DON'T KNOW. It is a risk you are taking. BTW, I forget how long you said it has been but it can take longer than 3 or 4 months for the letter. Too many variables with post office + you're Canadian. (Just messin about the Canadian crack but I had to say it)

I posted my update since in the last thread, people asked me to keep them updated on what happens. Well, I e-mailed Alin like he asked with the info, he just replied with the same anwer of 'no resend'. I don't understand why he would even bother asking me to e-mail him the info again if he was going to just say the same thing. Either way, this isn't the ice age. Packages don't take 3 months to show up unless something has happened ie: lost, sent to wrong address (which has happened before due to messy hand writing) seizure etc, especially if 1/2 my order arrived in 2 weeks & the 2nd 1/2 that is missing was mailed 2 days after. This isn't even a big order. It's like a measely $200 tops. I just wanted to try the stealths out. I've sent $20k+ worth of business Alin's way over the years from friends, guys on boards etc, & for him to blow me off like this is just something I didn't expect him to do to a long time customer. Anyway, as someone said before in the last thread, there are other sources out there. It was nice while it lasted!!!

Just one mention

Everytime you order every time is seized no letter you want resend i resend. You order again etc.. STRANGE RIGHT ??

Alin, I have NEVER had an order seized from you EVER in all the years I've dealt with you. Every single order has arrived in 3 weeks or less. I have NEVER asked for a resend since everything has always arrived. I have no idea why you keep saying that you've resent to me before. Even when I ordered amps from you & some of them arrived broken, I didn't ask for a resend for the broken ones.
