Ady, how do you know those other people didn't get your Falcon?  They could have just gotten a $200 model for $6 for all you know!

I thought the same thing, but the chances of that happening are astronomical.  I was hoping that it was going to be Ady's so he could build two, one to BLOW up next movie. ;-)

Also very odd that the Mail lost TWO completely different Falcons at the same time.

well i'd say it was highly doubtful. the thing is on the invoice it had June 1st as shipment date so they probably don't even know its been lost. you should have seen the state of its packaging. there is no way it had accidentally  got that way. It looked more like it was deliberately opened. After seeing so many news reports of packages going missing and that postal workers were stealing packages all the time or just dumping mail i'm not surprised anymore when something like this happens. now here's the latest. a postal representative rang me a few minutes ago about my compensation claim. he mentioned that i had gone in and claimed the model so they will be closing the claim now. Well i told him that he would have to prove that i accepted it. i asked him if i had would i have had to sign for it and he told me yes. well i then told him that i did not accept it because it wasn't my model and that i signed for nothing and that the package was reposted to the correct person with a note explaining how they were willing to hand over their item to someone else because they refused to resend it  and if they want to make a claim against the post office i would be willing to testify against the PO. he then said that they would have CCTC footage of me picking up the item and tried to make out that this would eb evidence enough to protect them. Well that's bullshit. i wasn't stupid anyway. i took the model out of the package, kept the model and the invoice and handed back the ripped package . the model was small enough to fit in my inside pocket out of view of the camera, so to them it looks like i handed the package back and walked out. i didn't sign anything. so screw you PO. lol. needless to say he wasn't too happy on the phone.

Just goes to show that England needs more CCTCs to catch other angles!  LOL

You're sneaky and quick thinking.  I would have paniced long ago.

Just to be clear Ady, looking at the invoice, it wasn't the same seller that you purchased from, was it? If it was, it would be pretty obvious what had happened - your seller has sent your package to the other guy, and the other guy's package (addressed to you by accident) went "missing" and had the address torn off it.

In the case that it IS the same seller, his proof of posting he provided to paypal should be proof enough that he sent the wrong item - it will have a completely incorrect weight/shipping cost.

Not sure if you can file an 'item not as described' claim after having already made an 'item not received claim' though.

Sorry for all these edits to my post. It probably isn't the same seller anyway, making my whole post pointless :P

If it is the same seller though, there's two magic words I have for you.

TRADING STANDARDS!

no it wasn't the same seller. this was from a shop, actually shrewsburys model shop, so how it could have gotten so damaged definitely was't due to any transit.

if it wasn't for the fact that there was an invoice inside the package i would have said that the PO had done this deliberately and ordered this little model to take the piss because i been pestering them so much about my fine molds one. funny thing though you could clearly see "M. falcon kit" written on the package so i wouldn't put it past them if they had deliberately opened it and did try to take the piss but i wouldn't be able to prove anything. Well from now on i'm going to call them the Post Office Organization or POO for short. lol

Next time you have to order something, would it be better to spring the extra few $ to use UPS, FedEx, or some other shipping company unrelated to the post office, or do you have the same problems dealing with them over there?

Sorry to hear about the whole MF/POO ordeal ady.  At least you can take some solace in the fact that you pissed off one of their employees :)

LOL

NO THANKS TO:

The British Postal Service
That One Guy Who Made Fun of Me in Secondary School

 lol... that'd be pretty funny.

Thanks to

etc...

NO thanks to

The bloody post office

Bloody PayPal

Edit: Aarrgh... you beat me to it 005.

^LOL

damm postal workers! I have a hard time imagining them proving that you have infact claimed the item.

The thing about the CCTC footage is pure scare tactics if you ask me.

Wow,they are a bunch of assholes to have the nerve to mock you so. If it was an X-Wing I would say stick it up their tight asses. Well at least you have the other one, It is a shame they had to destroy your good day. At least we have Fed Ex here (I think every country can use them LOL), Your package may get smashed about but you get it anyways LOL.

Well hopefully something good will happen to you since you didn't kill them. And hopefully whoever is responsible will get bit in the ass by it.

heres another credits question coming up....

will landos theme and the asteroid field be added to the ESB:R credits?

i won't be getting to the audio until the video side of things is finished. But new cues will need to be added to the end credits because of all the additions, but when mixing music you have to make sure they all flow together so you can't just add the cue you want and have it kick you in the face when it suddenly comes in. But the Asteroid field i can almost definately say won't be added in.

How 'bout POODOO: Post Office Organization Directly Offending Others? (or Designed to Offend Others?) Ok, a bit of a stretch...

I actually got a package from the UK POO today; a copy of "Meet Ricky Gervais." :)

At any rate, despite all this nonsense, it's great that you did finally get an actual Falcon model like you wanted. :p

I love this job i like it :P

To be honest, the rotj poster has no ROTS vader. Its not his mask. Vader in ROTS have flat lenses. So i think it can fit.

I agree with some other suggestions you made ;)
