Hi, the link to your ebay store seems broken here: http://deepgroove1.com/contact.htm Anyway, I'm wondering if your mill would be good for a beginner-enthusiast? I think I'd like to get it decked out from the get-go that makes sense. What are all the parts should be looking at for turn-key? So far I think: CNC mill, gecko drive 3 motors mill options: 1/16-3/8" chuck with arbor (2x) mill options: extra belt for mil mill options: 1 1/4-2 1/2 fly cutter mill options: indexable end mill Boring Head tool post holder with cutoff bit collet-chuck adapter trunion table with 3.25 chuck What do I need to drive this thing, one of your control boxes? It wasn't completely clear which. Any interest in Bitcoin? Jeff

So - I take it I'm not actually going to ever see a rotary table and trunnion? I only ever received the end support for the far side of the trunnion. Seriously, what gives over there? [Quoted text hidden]

In May 2017, I gave you $630 for this: Since then, I have received a motor and this: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction.action?tLabels=9405xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx736 You said you sent the rotary table via UPS. I never got a rotary table, a tracking code for a rotary table, or fixture plate. I don't know or care which parts come from who; dealing with your suppliers is your responsibility. I didn't give Derek $630; I gave you $630.  I've been ridiculously patient, but I'm not about to let this slide. You are not done until I receive all of my merchandise or a refund.

Hi Chas, I've received the trunnion from Derek. I'll give you the benefit of doubt, that you've sent the rotary table; if you can do the same when I say I haven't received it. I think we'd both like to wrap this up, so do you have any ideas for how we can track it down? Jeff [Quoted text hidden]

Now that I have the trunnion table, I'm not going to worry about the tracking information for the other shipments you say were lost. It would be interesting to see what USPS has to say about those tracking numbers. Since I have no rotary table, I need the tracking number, even if it's inactive online. I will do the research with USPS, and if there was indeed a shipment from you to me, with the expected weight, around the expected time - that pretty unambiguously put you in the clear. Without a tracking number, even an expired one, I have no proof anything was ever sent. [Quoted text hidden]

Here's where I'm at today, as I write up the history of how we got here, for the public to read. All of our emails will be published on my website. On 5/24/2017 I paid you $630 for this: After a year of pulling teeth, I have this: The only tracking information I received was for:  - The original shipment containing the mill and other accessories in two boxes, including the pictured extra stepper.  - A small flat-rate mailer from High Tech Systems containing the table-idler support and pictured bags. The trunnion table itself was delivered un-announced on Mar 25th, 2018 from High Tech Systems, with no tracking information sent to me prior. No rotary axis has been delivered. No additional tracking information has been provided. If you're being truthful, I bet this could have all been avoided by you sending tracking info when you mail a package. Especially one that's late. I live on acreage, on a well-to-do island, work from home, have motion sensors, cameras, and see most of the delivery guys every day... so your stolen package theory is laughably implausible. I think it will be clear to anyone reading our exchange that I've been patient to a fault. I should have immediately requested a refund of the undelivered accessory and/or reported your failure to deliver to PayPal. I've been occupied and I just got the mill running, which is why I haven't been calling you every day for the past year about delivery. So I'm out a rotary axis, I might file a claim to recover the money from you, I'm not sure. But I will be publishing our entire email history, and sharing it with my audience. I won't lie about your kit.  Everything else in that regard seems fine. But you have completely fucked up the delivery of this one accessory, with the worst customer service experience in my 35 years on this planet. Should anyone reading this still choose to purchase from you, I will be satisfied knowing you're on a short leash. There is no 'unfucking' this. This exchange will be online forever. I'll update the story if/when you deliver a rotary axis or I recover the the money via claim. Send it, insure it, require a signature, and send me the tracking info this time, for fuck's sake.
