Title: Coinabul - 16BTC / 3oz order, no response
Post by: mb300sd on November 10, 2013, 08:25:40 PM
I placed an order on Nov 6th, and have had no further contact other than the automated confirmation email. I've attempted emailing contact@coinabul.com to check on the order but there has been no response. Has anyone received an order or even heard from the owner recently?

Yep, you should really avoid ordering from Coinabul at the moment. :-\

Man, I can't believe people are still placing orders with Coinabul. Does he have a forum account?

Yep, I can't believe it either. Especially with...well, this. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=42204

To paraphrase coingenuity (the owner), he cannot pay for shipping as long as his banks are constantly fucking with him, cancelling his accounts and giving him cashier's checks upon exit that no bank will let him deposit in a new account because 'lol bitcoin', and this is preventing him from paying USPS & FedEx for shipping, as they don't accept BTC directly, nor take cashier's checks and let postage be bought from that prepaid amount.

And something I don't understand about "economy of scale" that doesn't completely put him out of business, like I would do if I couldn't get all customers their product within 2 weeks domestic, 1 month international.

Received a tracking number today. Nothing showing on USPS yet, but I believe its been shipped.

Still, no response to email for over a week, and no contact until now. Not the greatest customer service.

Update.. Tracking number still showing "electronic info received", no sign of package.

Good to see Coingenuity/Jay Shore has not changed his ways over the last few months. I am glad all those things i called him out for (and he subsequently banned me from OTC for) are finally coming to light. Can't wait to serve that entire op staff a big plate of crow.

All that means is the label was purchased.

I'm in the same boat, an order I placed two weeks ago is sitting in the "initiated" stage on the fedex tracking.
