Dear Andy W6AD

Thank you for your response.
Let me try to state the current status so there will be no ambiguous about what Mr. Cornell should do.

First, starting from the beginning I filed the claim I made many phone calls to FedEx before and after they declined the claim. Furthermore, I was successful to ask for a partial reimbursement (payment) from FedEx with the following condition: Mr. Cornell K7FX needs to take either starting a claim again or waiving his claim. FedEx only wants to deal with a seller not a buyer even though in this case I initiated or negotiated the settlement. He as the seller can file a claim on his behalf then receive the payment. If he decides to waive the claim then FedEx will deal with me. Until and unless Mr. Cornell waives his claim then FedEx will not pay out the settlement to me.

I already e-mailed a paper claim form to Mr. Cornell. I also updated him whom he should contact to either file or waive his claim. He already had all the information to take either action.

It's not true that he continues to tell you or others that FedEx is dealing with me. If I was FedEx I would have been very happy because the merchandise was returned to the seller and no impending claim. Mr Cornell should be very happy too because he has my money and the amp.

Again, there is no relationship between me and FedEx at this point. Any other statement is completely false.

Thank you
73

(The last e-mail or communication I received from Bob Cornell K7FX was on Feb. 11, more than 12 days ago even though he has my e-mail, cell phone number)

wrong again

Post by w8jn »

andy and all.
you are legally misinformed. this is not trungs claim. he has no contract with fed ex. this is bobbys claim and bobbys irresponsibility for terrible packing that will probably be denied by fed ex. bobby owes trung a 100% refund regardless of fed ex decision.
if you order something from sears and it arrives destroyed, are you going to sit back and allow sears to tell you that you are sol becaUse the shipper denied the claim? you have an agreement with sears, not the shipper. sears owes you a new appliance. fed ex owes trung nothing. bobby owes trung his money back regardless of fed ex decision. if fed ex denies the claim, bobby is sol and owes trung $$$. come on bobby, man up and pay your due to trung. you shipped an amp without securing the finals. they are supposed to be destroyed when you do that. you are irresponsible and fed ex is going to deny your claim. pay up bobby....

FEDEX

Post by w6ad »

Trung, As I now understand things you have a settlement with FEDEX if Mr. Cornell signs a waver. He lives out in the middle of nowhere with no internet. I will not become a middleman in this issue but I will encourage him to do the right thing with FEDEX. I have been told (contrary to one opinion) that the amp remains in good shape--no broken parts or dents, tube is fine. Again, I hope this matter comes to an equitable resolution without the type of false charges and recriminations that have appeared here by one poster. 73 andy w6ad

Dear Andy W6AD
Thank you for your involvement. I have no idea that Bob does not have internet or phone now.

In the past up to Feb 11, he and I had communicated many times using the phones or internet e-mails. Before I posted this feedback on Friday evening, I already asked another ham, who knows Bob well, to contact him. The gentleman talked to Bob few days before that on the air so Bob should have known the issues. I assume he can always convey the messages to other hams then to me if he wants to.

After Feb 11, I also sent him many e-mails and left him several messages on his phone number. I also sent his son some of the e-mails. I assumed now he didn't receive these messages for some reasons which I never thought about.

I agree that the solution should have been resolved earlier; however, I can't do that by myself.

As always, I appreciate your interest.

Bob really is a great guy. I have known him for decades. He is a genuine Ham and a real OT as well as an avid antenna buff and an excellent DXer.

Paul,
I’m sorry but I am trying to oblige you “you also have my address, come and serve me...”
however the address on your FCC license is a UPS Store and they can’t take service. Could you verify that 508 Abilene Trl Cincinnati OH.45215-2515 may possibly your physical address? The owners have the same last name but not the correct first names.

If this is your physical address please let me know and if it is not your physical address, would you be so kind as to provide it?

As of today, the facts are:
1. On Jan. 20, Bob Cornell K7FX received my money for an amplifier.
2. On Feb. 11 or about, he received the amplifier back from FedEx.
3. Since Feb. 11, he didn't respond to many phone calls, e-mails from me, or on-air "encouragement" from other hams. In reality, he had the money and the amplifier.
4. There is no contact from FedEx.

They will not let me file as you have already filed a claim. I packaged and shipped in good faith. I am not responsible for the delivery condition of this package in transit. You must follow up and be persistent as you will not get money from me Trung..This was a very nice amp for the money you paid. And I paid for the insurance as to protect us from damaged goods..Again I will do what I can but fedex will not allow me a claim on this and I will not be out 570 dollars and end up the victim..You can win this case but you must stay firm..I feel bad but not responsible for any damage.

Dear Bob:
I am very disappointed and upset the way FedEx handled this matter. I think it's better for you as their customer to deal with them. From now on I will not ship or buy anything related to FedEx shipping. The amplifier is now in the location where you shipped it from. I would like to ask you to refund the money $500 to me after I already take a loss of $70 for shipping. It is reasonable because FedEx would not consider me as their customer and will not deal with me. They would care less about my concern. You can better deal with them than I can.
Thank you for your consideration.

They completed shut me out now. They said the package either is ready to return to you or already in your hand. I said no way. I called them 4-5 times but now have no where to go. When they picked up my call they would check on their computer and refuse to talk to me. I told them the tube is like a brain it is now damaged I can not use it any more. But they didn't care. They prefer to deal with you, the sender.


Please call them and talk to them for me. I am in limbo right now. I rather know one way or the other. I don't have the amp or the money. So it is very frustrated for me. Thank you for listening and helping out.

Dear Bob:
I have couple options.
First, I have a 30A 220V outlet for the dryer but my dryer is 110V. I can tab into it by building an electrical box in the attic and run about 20 feet 10/3 or 12/3 for the another outlet in a different room.
Secondly, I can run a cord as you suggested from that outlet to the room which is about 10-15 feet away laying it on the floor when I use and remove it when I don't.
Thirdly, I can run a fresh line from the main break box to a new outlet in the room. The break box is about 10-15 away plus going up the attic and down along the wall. I have done this before.
I will wait to see what ampere the amp requires. I assume about 15A or 20A max.
What do you think?

Dear Bob:
I have some good news to report to you.
I talked to the original inspector. Her name is Eunice D' Orr. She agreed to settle the claim for $300 because the damage is considered to be "enclosed" damage. There is no apparent damage from the package. I think it's reasonable. They will pay back the shipping charge, too.

Now there are two ways to do this.
1. You file the claim with them. The money will go directly to you. You have the amplifier back. You return my money.
2. You send a waiver letter to them. The money will go directly to me. But you have to ship the amplifier to me again.

I prefer the first choice. You let me know what you think. Thank you.

Her contact is as follows:
Fax number is 866-598-9104
Phone is 901-348-9350
Tracking number is 039884810216538 (this needs to be on ALL papers)

If you have any question please let me know. Thank you.

I stated earlier in my first post that "I am at loss of what happened along the way. I always thought the ham brethren group is trustworthy, but not sure now. "

I still stand by that statement.
I repeat here again that the facts are Bob had my money and the amp as of this writing. So how can I resolve this issue if he doesn't contact FedEx or me. BTW, I left him another message this morning.

Dear Bob:
I have left many calls on your phone/voice mail but I receive NO response. If you were on my shoe I would take steps to help you out. I think we need to discuss. At this point I have no amp, no money, and no communication from you.
I don't know what went wrong but we need to resolve this matter. Thank you.

Dear Devin, KC7SHF
Could you forward this e-mail to your father, Bob Cornell, K7FX? I haven't received any response from him after I left many voice messages. Thank you for your help.

Dear Bob and Devin:
This is the paper form FedEx wants you to file the claim. The reason
is I filed the claim online so you can NOT file online again. However,
you can claim with this form. Remember if you file the claim, FedEx
will pay you directly and you will keep the amplifier. I need you to
return my money back. If you do NOT file the claim then you need to
waive it by writing to FedEx. I will keep the amplifier with the
partial reimbursement from FedEx.

Dear Bob and Devin:
Today, I just called FedEx and talked to Kelly Bishop of Customer Assistance in Cincinnati, OH. Her number is 800-463-3339 extension 0 (zero) then ask her name. BTW, her husband is a ham radio operator, too. She checked with the FedEx center where you shipped the amplifier from. They told her you already picked up the amplifier last week. She is willing to help you out if you call the above number.

Since you already have the amp back it is time for you to return my money. My information is as follows:

Dear Scott KA9FOX,

I forgot to say thank you for providing this forum so that I and others can air the dispute. Without it, we may not have any another medium to shed light or share unpleasant experiences in dealing with other hams. Hopefully, one, who pays attention to these writings, will be able to enjoy a better transaction.

Again, thank you.

To all;

The saga gets weirder. After a post from KI6KY I received few e-mails by K7FX immediately even I received earlier information that Mr. Cornell has no Internet connection.

Here are his and my responses.

Trung .... You understand that you filed the claim therefore you took on the responsibility to follow through with these actions. I am not responsible for what happened during the shipping...Tube in or out makes no difference...I feel you have a choice here. Go on QTH and tell the truth,rebuke all statements made against My Son and myself. And I will ship the amp to you as soon as I feel the truth has been put on QTH. You think you can fool me with your tube story that's fine. But now you are in the whole and want your amp...I feel you lied about the amp being damaged. FedEx called me and told me to pick it up or it will go out as scrap. I told them that the amp belonged to you and I did not want it even though it was shipped back.They asked me why it came back and I told them you started a claim..I picked the Amp up and fixed the two pins and the amp works fine. FedEx has faxed me all the information. I will look into the aronius claims made on QTH of My Son and I being thieves and the revealing of our personal records because of your inability to follow through with what you started. I will not be involved in you charade anymore,as I told you via email 2-11-2010, I am not responsible for what FedEx does to any package being shipped. And I washed my hands of the matter as I expressed to you after I did what you asked. I will also look into the person or persons at FedEx that told of my picking up the amp...You have caused a great deal of foolishness by attempting to throw your problem on Me and my Son..I told you over the phone the reason I used the email address dev011 as some fine ham operator used k7fx.bob and sold a radio... I want you to know what you think of me makes no difference as you took on FedEx and could not handle the situation and so you cried on QTH and started a fiasco of Ignorance and unjustified remarks. If you decline my offer I will post all information on Qth from FedEx and will prove you a fraud.Good Luck....Bob Cornell K7FX

Dear Bob:

Thank you for your response.

First, I initiated the claim; however, you are the FedEx customer they want to deal with you. That means you need to re-start the claim by paper format. Alternatively, you can waive the claim. I already conveyed this message to you many times by phone calls and e-mails. I want to emphasize again you shipped the item via FedEx until you file your claim or waive your claim FedEx will not deal with me no matter I initiated or not. You are responsible to deal with FedEx, period. What happened during the shipping I have no idea but you bought the insurance and that's the reason you can file the claim.

Secondly, I will stand by my statements on qth.com. You can review them as you wish. I can't be responsible for others' statement made on qth.com. Whether you decide to ship the amp or not it depends on your action not mine. There is no way for me to know when and if you feel my statement true or not. I again can stand by my statements.

Thirdly, I don't judge your belief about whether the amp was damaged or not. Your action spoke loudly and clearly. You stated you "fixed the two pins and the amp works fine." Obviously, the tube's pins were damaged. I didn't buy the damaged good. It should not be fixed or repaired as I agreed to buy it.

Fourthly, you released a list of e-mails to your friend, Ki6KY, who posted on qth.com today. These e-mails included my personal e-mail information. I followed it with a complete listing of other e-mails he purposefully missed them. The e-mails do not have your e-mail's information or your son's. You should review them.

BTW, your son started the listing on qth.com so he is as much as involved in this unpleasant experience. Since you cut off the communication starting on Feb. 11 I have no choice but alerted others about your action. I already asked one of your acquaintance to speak with you on air prior posting my feedback on qth.com. You should have known the issues.

Now, I do NOT want the amplifier back any more since it's already damaged as you stated. I will give you to the end of business day of Tuesday March 2 to return my money. I will alter my statements, the best I can, on qth.com after receiving my money back.

If the matter is not resolved by March 2, I will take a legal action with appropriate authorities including local, state, federal agencies.

I wish this unpleasant experience didn't happen. Thank you.

73, Trung W6TN

Dear Bob:
So how do you want to resolve the problem?
As of now, you don't want to file your claim. You don't want to waive your claim. You currently keep my money and the amp.

Following this last set of emails, I guess it is obvious who the crook is.

Bob, you did not properly protect the Amp when shipped. Shipping damage is your fault.

How do you think its OK to keep or dispose of the Amp and keep the money? This is pure dishonesty.

I know that I will never deal with Bob K7FX

Please sue me too Bob.....After all, the only defense is the truth, and you already provided the truth for all to see.

I'll bet your buddy Nate is real proud of you now.
