How long before no communication is a problem? (buyer question)

woohoo - congrats on the bass arriving!



just tell it like it is. he shipped fast, packed the bass well, but replies took days, and he didn't respond to repeated requests for tracking and insurance info. that would be what i'd want to know before buying from someone.

Do you think neutral feedback is appropriate with those comments added?
 
I am kind of curious why the seller never came here to defend, or at least reassure... but then again, like others, I guess I, too... had my pitchfork ready to defend you. Whenever I see similar threads, I wonder if it wouldn't be better to name the seller - just thinking aloud.

Glad you got your bass, and I am glad you are happy with it!

Once I file feedback, anyone in this thread can figure out who the seller is with a few clicks. Based on their lack of activity here, I’m sure they don’t know anything about this discussion.

Epilogue to this transaction: in addition to the communication issues, the bass was strangely missing a tuner screw on the D string tuner and was also a half pound heavier than the ad claimed. I messaged the owner of the bass that the seller bought it from, and he said it was not missing the screw when he had it.

I ended up leaving neutral feedback with all these issues described.

You can clearly see the missing screw in the pictures in the listing. As far as the weight, 1/2 LB would be way too much of a discrepancy for me to accept. I would have added that info to the feedback.
