Contacted Tank1950 (Gregory Ian Thomason of Dallas, GA) about buying a Eureka Solitaire Backpacking tent from him on 11-30-2016. Two days later (12-02) he contacted me & said he didn't have a paypal account. At first he agreed to postal MO then a day later (12-03) asked me to send the funds Western Union. I told him I wasn't interested using that type of fund transfer & to disregard my offer to buy the tent. He then agreed to the postal MO. I sent the postal MO to him (12-05) & he messaged me that he received it (12-10). I received a message from him that he was called out of town for a work emergency (12-14) & that there would be a delay in sending the tent to me. After inquirying about a shipping update a few days later, he replied (12-19) that he had stayed another week out of town & would be back on 12-23. He offered to have his father meet me to give me the tent. I just replied back please send the tent via mail as soon as he could. That exchange of messages was on 12-19 & it was the last I heard from him. I emailed him again (12-28) with no reply. So I emailed him again on 01-02-2017 advising him that I would be leaving negative feedback & contacting the postal authorities about the postal MO I sent him.
Not sure what his issue is. I understand work can demanding for people at times. However, if he could have his father meet me then why couldn't his father mail me the tent as well? I hate leaving negative feedback for anyone here because I've always have had great dealings with people but I feel I have no choice. I've been more than patient with him.

Just to clear the air the package was lost in the mail. I will not ship anything again. I refunded his money.
