Don't get ripped off!
We occasionally get e-mail from buyers and sellers that get "ripped off". Please read this.
We have been in the retail/mail order business for over 20 years. We suggest that you follow these tips to reduce your chances of being ripped off.
Sellers:
* Ship your items COD cash only, or set up a PayPal or Escrow.com account and only accept payments from verified users. We do not suggest you take money orders or cashier checks or personal checks under any circumstances unless you have a merchant check guarantee program in place. There are too many fake checks being used. A fake MO or cashier's check will show as a deposit but will be returned up to 14 days later and your account will be debited.
* Request that UPS, FedEx and other carriers not deliver the box without the specified form of payment for the exact amount. You can not do this with the postal service, so spend the extra few dollars and do it right.
* There is significant fraud by overseas scammers and as much as we would like to support our fellow hams around the world, there are certain areas where there are just too many crooks. So we are suggesting that you do not ship overseas without some form of deposit in advance or that you use COD US$ cash, PayPal or Escow.com, OR THAT YOU CAN VERIFY THE BUYER. DO NOT fall for the email or telephone call about an agent pick-up, etc. and do not accept a larger payment and refund the excess amount.
Buyers:
* Do not pay for anything in advance of delivery.
* Use PayPal or Escrow.com and only deal with verified accounts.
* Do not send your trade in advance of getting another item. Use UPS or FedEx call tags. You can instruct the carrier to deliver only if another item is available for pickup at the same time.
* Know who you are dealing with: get an address, phone number and name and call that person back to be sure the phone number is valid. EMAIL IS NOT SUFFICIENT. Spend the money on a phone call.
*Ask a lot of ham radio technical questions. If you feel uncomfortable, don't do the deal.
* Don't work with shipping agents or people that sound like they are telling a story ... they are.
* DO NOT give your credt card to anyone from an Eastern European county or an African nation.
These precautions may take more time and cost more, but you can be more secure knowing that you stand less chance of being taken advantage of. There are some mighty crooked people out there. Take the time to protect yourself.
