Buyer Beware K8NU

Post by usaham »

I bought a Palstar AT2KD antenna tuner from K8NU not only did we contact VIA Email but also on the Phone . Mr Carl Yaffey
K8BU said he will sell me the tuner with manual and Walwart. He asked if he could take some time to Locate and Ship the AT
To me i said Yes Take your time . On 9 September 2021 I paid him using paypal . On 11 September 2021 at 11:58 AM he put the
item in his Local UPS STORE ( A NON Corporate store ) The store Closed at 2PM that day and my package sat in Ohio at
UPS STORE 3435 Bethel Rd Columbus Ohio til Monday evening before a UPS Corp truck picked up the box.
This store did not answer Phone calls Emails or Faxes . Today is 15 September 2021 the box arrived at my QTH.
NO WALWART ... i EMAILED K8NU and told him and this is his Reply
READ THE PASTED EMAILS . YOU BE THE JUDGE WOULD YOU BUY FROM HIM ???
I included the Walwart. Apparently the UPS guy lost it. Sorry you are so unhappy. In the future if you see something for sale by me it would be best to ignore it.

P.S. The wall wart was wrapped in bubble wrap. Make sure it’s not stuck in the packing.
