In my mind, the package was shipped and I was free to relax.

It's good practice to check on tracking numbers periodically.  I check everything I've shipped to others at least once a day.  That way there are no surprises, and if something goes wrong, you can begin to make plans for resolution options.

He was too lazy to even send the tracking number to blackehart (if it even had tracking).  I don't think he's one to check it himself.

You mean if he ever even had the supposed tracking number from the supposed shipment from May 28th.

Nope, no tracking number. We never spoke about any sort of tracking. I would have added it anyway but they wanted an exorbitant amount for some reason.

Shipping from Canada sucks compared to shipping from the US of A.

I'm sorry, but $15 USD is more than enough to ship via Tracked Packet - USA (Tracking included to both countries & enters USA as "Int'l First Class Mail"). A small set of mods cannot possibly weigh more than 250g. Tracked Packet USA also only has 1 rate for all 50 states.

Here's the rates that everyone has access to via PayPal:

It's pretty common knowledge around here to print shipping labels online due to the discounts applied.
Tracked Packet isn't a service available off the counter. Even if you shipped via Expedited Parcel USA (Enters USA as priority Mail, with tracking), it would cost $15-20 CAD for off the counter pricing -- I would hardly call that exorbitant pricing.

I don't have a printer currently, and was quoted at something like $28.

Is there a store near you that offers per-page printing services?  I don't have a printer at home, but I have a Staples store basically across the street, so when I can't print at work, I go to Staples and print my shipping labels for 10 cents a page.  As someone else has noted, it's generally advantageous to create shipping labels on-line, because there are usually some discounts, and tracking is applied automatically.  At least for USPS or PayPal-provided shipping services.

There's no option to add tracking onto parcel shipment in Canada, so we're restricted to different shipping options.
Paypal also has the cheapest rates by far (even cheaper than Canada Post's member rate) available for consumers.

Of course, I don't drive though, nor have I ever really attempted to even look at the PayPal label services. Definitely something to look into.

**** happens sometimes. ...
That being said, it is your choice who to do business with. Thank you everyone.

Really important piece of wisdom we should all heed.

Never do business with someone who's dodgy, simple as that.

Always ask others you can trust, with their own personal experiences with any seller here on Geekhack.  Needless to say always buy from registered dealers because they have already publicly proven themselves with everyone here.

There are a few worth avoiding like the plague (pure lying, scumbag-garbage) but I can't name them here due to the Mods disallowing it  8) .

Of course NEVER pay via GIFT within Paypal and I thought everyone knew that basic fact by now?

Stick with the popular names here on Geekhack and all should be good when it comes to getting your item delivered to your front door  :thumb: .
