Schit happens...
Did I ever tell you boys about the TWO money orders that took over a month to arrive? Quite a story, one from Vermont, one from Connecticut. Apparently in the same “lost” mailbag, and both arrived on the same day.
Craziest thing ever.
Hopefully the OP will have his scope and we can just put this all behind us and live in harmony.

Seems like there was no where's near enough for a callout here. If anything, I'd rather deal with the seller. Might be a day later than anticipated? Chit.

Some of you guys kill me sometimes with your defense of regulars when a deal looks like it might go sideways.
I guess if it was your dough floating in the wind and the seller had gone silent for days after lots of communication up front, you'd just not worry. Whatever.
I don't do business the way the seller has here no matter which side of the transaction I'm on. I have always found that things go much smoother when you keep in touch. Yeah, chit happens sometimes but around here your word is your reputation. So if there is a delay, wouldn't you let the other party know? I'm glad the seller finally chimed in and I hope this deal is fine but for fooks sake, for some of us a couple hundred bucks is still a lot of dough and words not kept meaningful.
Flame away if you want but I can speak from experience, Winchester88 is a good guy. And I'd bet a bunch of people reading this thread have had good deals with him too. I know neither party and I am only an outsider. When it is publicly posted to "watch out for xxxx", it leads me to believe the poster was intending to smear someones name Maybe it was poor word choice. Doesn't matter, as it's been done- the posting, lack of communication, and delayed delivery. I do know we all, including myself make mistakes. I know regardless of our prior reputations and motives, life troubles/emergencies get in the way with family, friends, jobs, and one's health. Those things naturally get priority and sometimes other things get mishandled, but there are consequences that go with it. I also know there are usually three sides of a story, Party A, Party B, and somewhere in the middle. Usually we all color the story more favorably to paint our side better. It appears this is going to be worked out, and hope both sides are now ok with the transaction, as best possible. So thankful for the community here, the moderators and owners of 24hourcampfire, as there are not many other places around which compare to the quality of this site. May we all humble ourselves and serve others. God Bless, David B.

Seems like it was way too soon to bash a guy and that's what happened
If a guy doesnt have a bit of trust in the seller, patients and understands this is not the only thing in someone's life a retail purchase maybe best

...unforeseen travel...
my wife mailed the product for me....
it slipped my mind...
correspondence from the buyer was never seen... Though I think the call-out was premature, you have plenty of lame excuses for not taking care of business.

Seller should have been more on the ball; buyer should have been a little more patient.
Offsetting penalties.
Place the ball at the original line of scrimmage.
3rd down!
