Let me start by saying that I left the seller a neutral heatware eval before I thought about posting this thread.
I recently bought an msata drive from a seller here. He responded to my WTB thread and made me a killer deal. What wasn't mentioned was that said killer deal meant the item was going to be shipped in a yellow padded envelope via USPS first class mail that did NOT include any insurance at all. The seller's communication was great and I got a tracking number/updates without any issues. The drive was "delivered at/in mailbox" according to the USPS tracking info. I have an office/suite number and no mailbox. The carrier has to come in and hand it off. Messaged the seller and his response was "Sorry and best of luck in getting it". After that I spent a few hours on hold then talking with USPS to file a lost mail investigation. Eventually the drive showed up about a week later. Seller never followed up to see if I got the drive and last night requested a heatware eval be left. I left a neutral with a detailed explanation similar to what I posted in this thread. Am I being an asshole or do you think the neutral was warranted?
