Chreees Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Oh my there's a Dolphen stem... HEHEHEHEHE Lol yeah, he emailed me a pic of that one and simply said "Big Boy haha". I know it's a dolphin, but I can't help but see a huge schlong hanging there in the middle. He charges you less if you ask for an invoice through MF BC its not on eBay so no eBay fees. He charged me 60 shipped for the vase. Yeah, this is why I didn't purchase mine through eBay as well. I originally asked him if he could post a "Buy It Now" listing on eBay for the Canary shank (thought it'd add an extra layer of protection), but he told me it'd cost less if he just sent me the invoice through MF. Rolled the dice and won, IMO. Well MF offers the same protection eBay does. Right, I know. That's why I said an extra layer of protection. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 You can only open a dispute with one or the other. If a case is opened on eBay and you open one on MF, they just revert you to whatever place you opened it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it doesn't hurt I'm sure. That's why I considered it an extra layer of protection, but all's well that ends well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoBlowsThere Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Wow, that is a fantastic looking piece. $155 is a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say you paid for x, and you received y, MF always takes the buyers side no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Note: The tracking WILL update (eventually anyway), unlike what I was told by a certain someone. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Humbug! What I told you was to the best of my knowledge based on my previous experiences. Maybe Turkish Post/USPS got better with their shite tracking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 nope, just blind random luck...could update everyday or just show up on your doorstep in a month with no warning. There is no consistancy with such services that I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Except for the few weeks gap (from when it left Turkey to when it was leaving NJ), my tracking was pretty darn accurate. It should be the same for you. I think USPS has upgraded their tracking service a bit since they changed the name of it from Delivery Confirmation to USPS Tracking. So I can see how before it might have showed up with no warning, but this time it should update when it's through customs and on its way to you, and then should ultimately say its out for delivery on the day you're to get it.

mattarios2 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Our postmaster said USPS is working on going GPS with their tracking like ups/fedex but when you are moving that many packages it is hard to implement such a system smoothly without interrupting current operations. So we will probably slowly see improvements until they are close enough to the point where they can integrate the remainder of the new system quickly.

Coyote Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hass- you think this pipe is going to lean like all the rest? lol... ​ Oh my there's a Dolphen stem...

Hassouni Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 I don't know, I think most of the leaning has been caused by dodgy gaskets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Mine doesn't lean in the slightest. Not even the tray rest, like my Elmas 618 did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 That's because hockey tape is the best. My Lebanese pipes lean somewhat - they have silicone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 That's because hockey tape is the best. My Lebanese pipes lean somewhat - they have silicone. Fuck hockey tape. That's what I used on my 618 and that bitch always leaned and was extremely hard to make a good seal without air leaks between the shank and glass. I am using one of these gaskets on mine and it works great: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
