Wait.

Why is a board shipped from Malaysia to Chicago in Korea now?

I've been wondering that as well. Isn't kin25's board seperate from Joey's?

No, it's the exact board I bought from yuktsi and the caps I bought.

[CPTBadAss]

Ok I gotta ask 'cause this is confusing. Korea =/= Malaysia or USA. Shouldn't the new concern be that it's in a different country? If I had something returned to "sender" and it popped up in Mexico instead of Canada, I'd be pretty worried.

[Air tree]

My head hurts..

[HoffmanMyster]

Regarding shipping practices: there was a pic posted that showed the board sitting in padding.  Was the board additionally wrapped before being placed in there?

At this point I figure everyone is as confused as I am and I'm just glad a GH member has it.

But honestly I figure I'm losing a bunch of money either way so why try make myself more confused/ angry/ dissapointed than I am now.

It can't be blind luck that kin has it.

The whole story is a bit shady, I'd love for yuktsi or kin to explain how it ended up in korea.

[heedpantsnow]

Whoa I thought it was returned to yuksi

[Halverson]

Perhaps a recycled box with an old address under the wrapping?

[Lastpilot]

The answer? Korean kustom white kollar krime...

Yuktsi has a 456GT. He wants to sell it, but make double the money. He "sells" this one board to both kin25 and Joey Quinn. He intentionally makes the US intl post label unreadable, packs it poorly and writes the return address to kin25's residence.

He knows Joey will never get the board, but insures it for $1000 so that Joey doesn't complain and can just get his money back.

Joey (supposedly) gets his money back and everyone gets what they want. Yuktsi leaves GH forever and nobody ever figures out that he is Pacifist.

[HoffmanMyster]

Perhaps a recycled box with an old address under the wrapping?

That was my thought.  If Kin sent something to yuktsi and they just returned it to the return address on the box it would end up there.

Though you'd have to wonder why the person sending it back didn't question why it was in the US.  )

Because that was from the wrapping, which was separated from the box - no way to link them at that point.

Didn't the letter have the wrapper with it with his own address on it?

I'm really sorry Joey... this sucks.

Tell me a story

[meiosis]

Yeah. Still, the box has to be wrapped. I will do something about it. It's the address on the box that saved the board.

The real answer *dequips tinfoil hat*

It was a box from kin25, somehow the shipping label came off.

And it would have worked too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!

Tell me a story

Here's a story,
Of a lovely lady,
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them with hair of gold,
Like their mother --
The youngest one in curls.

Here's a story,
Of a man named Brady,
Who was busy with three boys of his own.
They were four men,
Living all together,
Yet they were all alone.

Till the one day when the lady met this fellow,
And they knew it was much more than a hunch,
That this group must somehow form a family.
That's the way we all became the Brady Bunch.

The Brady Bunch...
The Brady Bunch...
That's the way we became the Brady Bunch!

hey mind telling blank to put my address underneath a really ****ty wrapper on all your boards?

Yeah, I bet yuktsi got something shipped from kin25, then reused the box to ship JQ's keyboard. Because it was being wrapped anyway, yuktsi didn't bother to scratch out the old shipping labels from kin25. So once the wrap was torn off, the box looked like it had originated in Korea, so that's where they sent it back to after it failed customs (which probably happened because it wasn't wrapped).

[katushkin]

This is ridiculous.

[esoomenona]

[Air tree]

Look at that thick, sturdy box, and this form fitting foam.

You know just how I like it, baby.

[njbair]

To everyone who is shipping an expensive ass keyboard, watch this video. Look at that thick, sturdy box, and this form fitting foam.

That was oddly satisfying.

I'm all about thick...hard and sturdy boxes. Aw yea those peanuts.

no but seriously, what the hell is going on with this situation

[SixtyLife]

so kin coulda just kept a $1000 board for himself without saying a word and no one would have known, but he chose to do the right thing. you the real mvp kin.

[calmfries]

The box was used by kin to ship something to Yuktsi, thus Kin's address is on the box. That's lucky coz it had Kin's address on it, or it might be missing forever. The wrapping paper that had all the details torn off, and the old details were on the box. They returned the keyboard according to the details on the box. So that all make sense now?
I can't just sit here, reading all that hate comments and made up stories throwing at a friend of mine.
I feel sorry for Joey, it is painful to look at those damages. Hope you can get something back from USPS.

This whole thing has made me really glad that shipping my Mini went well, I stressed for numerous days about that thing being tossed around in the mail and "inspected" by curious USPS peronnel on relization for the insurance.

Enjoy Joey, the wait and effort and stress is all worth it

[Belfong]

I find it cruel that Joey was in distressed over the lost keyboard and when it was found, all yuktsi said was "guess where it is" with a photo and leave it at that for speculation. And then kin came in later to show the same pix and said he received something from yuktsi and pointed out damages to the edge. Poor Joey being toss from one roller coaster ride to another. Hopefully they do have some PMs to clarify this but just reading the thread as a 3rd party is distraughting!

They both have PMs but right now I don't know any more than you do.

Why? It should be a three party PM! You should be in the know as you are the buyer.

Time zones, man. They're probably just waking up over there.

[yuiop]

Just spoke with Kin25 and here's his take on what actually happened.

In June, Kin25 shipped tx1800 keyboard to Yuktsi in Malaysia.  Apparently Yuktsi used the box that came from Korea (from Kin25) as the 'inner box' when he shipped 456GT to Joey in US.  You can see that box in 2nd pic in OP, the one has white tape all wrapped around.  That's Kin's box.  He put that box in the 'outer box' (or the wrapper?  I'm not sure) and shipped it to Joey.

When the package got to US customs, they opened it up for inspection.  The fact it was insured for $1000 and had huge metal bars inside probably alerted them enough to open it up.  They obviously weren't very careful with it and ended up damaging the keyboard    After the inspection, they should have put everything back together and delivered it to Joey.  Instead they sent the outer wrapping material to Joey and inner box back to kin25 in Korea.  WTF right?  That's because that 'inner box' still had the old label on it.  Kin as the sender and Yuktsi as the recipient.



This is the tracking number for the inner box.  It says the delivery was completed on June 8th in Malaysia.  Then all of a sudden it shows up in USORDA - that's Chicago O'hare customs - a month and a half later.  US customs probably had no idea how to proceed with a package destined to Malaysia so they sent it back to Kin25 in Korea.

TL;DR
Just an unfortunate situation for everyone involved.  I think the US customs screwed up big time on this one.

[meiosis]

In this case USPS should have to own up to it..

If Kin was perhaps anyone else, we might not even know where it would have ended up.

Hopefully you can get a big chunk of it back from USPS, Joey.

This, and your money back for the price of the board too.

okayyyy... hope it IS finally sorted out and Joey is kept in the know.

He should just cut his loses and ask for his money back. Or a significant price reduction due to the damage.

I agree. Most people that I know that have had damage while shipping have been able to get money back.

[ghostjuggernaut]

I completely agree. There is no way I would feel comfortable spending that much money on a severely damaged board. I understand people have different opinions on the term "severe" but with any high dollar collectible, any damage should be considered severe IMO.

The scratches/dent completely ruined the chance of resale at a decent price.

Kin please ship the keyboard to me, I'll then ship it to Joey  )
