This Co was mentioned a week or so ago and I noted a post from Burt and after asking him a question he reported he received very good service from them. Well I'm not so lucky.

Purchased a replacement PH from them on the 5th and paypal sent acknowledgment on the 8th the money transfer was completed. On the 14th and not having received the package, I wrote Inkcesseries about the problem. Received a reply on the 15th giving me a tracking number for the post office. Gave a look at the info the post office had. Looks like they received word there was a package to pick up on the 13th but no acknowledgment if actually picked up. Yesterday the 20th, still nothing so drove into town to post office to see what they could tell me. In a short while I was informed the package was at sorting facility yesterday morning and looking at locations, the package hasn't moved 20 miles from point of origin. Not shipped as indicated or package lost at sorting facility???

Don't know who is at fault but transaction has failed on the "making a good first impression" chart. Now that I know the package in the hands of the post office, I'm thinking I'll have the package by Fri.

Just goes to show you, even with a near perfect record on ebay, there is no assurance a purchase will go smoothly. Don't use ebay often but this is the first time I've had any problems.

You're always going to have an exception to the rule.... like that one
chance in a million of getting hit by lightning. Someone will! That
doesn't mean you shouldn't go outside anymore. Or in your case, no
reason to stop using eBay, PayPal, or the US Mail! These things will
happen. You pray they won't happen with your purchase. But be prepared
that they may. Over the years I've bought many things over the Net and
eBay, some worth over $500. Yes, I was ripped off once on eBay, by a
seller in Belarus. But I learned a thing or two, and eBay insurance
covered most of it. That "blip" didn't deter me since over 95% of my
dealings over the Net have been more than positive.

Speaking of Inkcessories... back in 2005 I bought a printhead on Ebay
for an i860 from Inkcessories.
If you would use Canon ink you would not have needed a printhead.
Well, I'm in Canada and I received it in
just 9 days after my PayPal purchase. That to me is lightning (pardon
the first paragraph pun) fast. That printhead is still working as good
as new.
