[meteorite-list] A friendly warning...

[Jakub Radwan]

Dear Listees,

As I have tried all other ways to work things out, I believe it is high 
time I sent a friendly warning. 

Almost 7 months ago, I purchased a specimen of Campo Del Cielo from Michael 
Cottingham. As a Christmas bonus Michael offered a 50% discount and agreed 
to cover freight charges. What was my surprise when it turned out that the 
package had been sent via USPS's Global Economy Parcel service (the worst 
ground shipping option out there with estimated delivery time of 4-6 
weeks). Needless to say the parcel has never made it, but that is not why I 
am making this public. The real reason is Michael's lack of respect for his 
customers.

Not only has he failed to provide me with a shipping confirmation as a 
proof that the package has actually been sent (with all due respect, why 
should I trust him?), he is also not even so kind as to reply to my 
e-mails. Of course, I am aware there is no way to get my money back. I just 
want to warn you. Please think twice before you order anything from the 
Michael Cottingham Meteorite Collection.


Kind regards from Poland,
