It would seem that the originator of this thread has taken the high road, not directly calling out said vendor... !

Since the amount of money is not large, and since you haven't posted an impending gig or performance where the music is indispensible, I'd give it a couple more weeks.

The wedding is less than two weeks away.

The said sponsor is not "out". This sponsor has logged on tubenet touting his products many times since then. In fact, he was online this morning. Which completely steams me.

As of today.

1. 4 Phone Calls

2. 2 Emails.

3. 5 private messages on Tubenet. Of which he is logging in to post and ignoring.

Name names. It is your duty as a reporter to protect the public. The vendor has already negated his contract with you and thus any sense of loyalty on your behalf.

Well, now that's completely different. Since the gig is approaching, yeah, at this point it's time to, in the grand tradition of gentlemen to throw down the gauntlet, challenge to a duel, and demand satisfaction.

Hey Wade, I need a Second Viennese School-style arrangement of the following tune for pogo cello and Scottish Great Pipes:

No matter what the answer, give them March to the Scaffold from Symphony Fantastique...

I agree. As long as you are ONLY posting FACTS. I would like to be able to avoid repeating your experience with this vendor! If you used a credit card with PayPal you might look into a chargeback on your card and try to avoid PapPal red tape.

I used money from my paypal balance.

Regardless, the issue here lies with the fact that I respect sean and tubenet too much to disclose the name.

By being a sponsor of tubenet (I assume he actually pays his bills with sean, even if he doesn't ship me my music) If I out said buyer, by name, on the forum--- that doesn't bode well for what is trying to be accomplished.

Trust me, the beef with this seller would be a lot of fun to air out, but I need to look out for the well-being of this board. Sean has a lot of bills to pay, and ever sponsor help keeps this alive. The best advice I can say, "buyer beware". It is one of those things where it could happen to anyone, at least make sure you leave a paper trail like I did. (is it called paper trail, even if it is on the internet?)

I, for one, appreciate your taking the high road.

If you'll just go ahead and send him the dang music, you won't have to be relieved about him "taking the high road".

Huh?

Guess what I got in the mail today (granted I was already done with a personal transcription of the piece)!

Yep. Mailed two days ago.

I would suggest hickeys. I just bought some music from them, and they treated me well and filled/shipped my order quite quickly. Plus, they have a huge selection of music to choose from.
