have had many dealings with purdie shuffle, and will be the first to stand up in his defense. talk to him and let him know what has happened, I'm sure he will be willing to work with you.

Thanks for the response. It seems like he’s been around for awhile as I’ve seen his stuff listed here often. It’s just a bummer being dragged like this from someone who seems to be a respectable seller. However, it doesn’t seem like he’s interested in making this right. I attached his last and final response to me.

Like Robyn, I can vouch for Purdie Shuffle as if my life depended on it. He has done me many favours in the past and one huge one I can't even mention. I am truly sorry for damage, but I'm sure it was beyond John's control. In my opinion, Purdie is about as stand-up a guy who has ever picked up a stick.

To me, he’s responsible for packing the drums well and in a way to prevent damage. I own a store, and any time something has ever gotten damaged in transit, I’ve always taken care of the customer. This is all beside the point though, in my opinion. The original ad stated the drums had good repairs and were ready to be put together. They weren’t. They were done with low grade rubber cemented. When I pushed on the seam of the bass drum, it came apart.

I wasn’t going to dignify this public assault but you leave me no choice.

Anybody who has done a transaction with me knows I always pack carefully. Each shell was individually bubble wrapped and then they were cushioned from each other with more bubble wrap. It was all packed in a heavy cardboard box. I’m going to tell you the same thing I told you yesterday...

I will not take responsibility for the damage done by the mishandling of the post office. Your beef is with them not me. Acrylic shells are like glass it doesn’t take much to crack or shatter them. They did not go out in the condition that they arrived. Take up being reimbursed for shipping damage with the outfit that dropped them. Seriously how do you see the shipping damage as my fault? I’ve had drums arrive damaged in a damaged box and I went after UPS not the guy who sold it to me.

As I said in my original ad: project kit - no refunds. I’m sorry that the drums arrived damaged. Contact the post office with your complaint. You’re going after the wrong party.

I’m outta here. I won’t be responding to any further posts in this thread. Thank you to my friends for the support and the very kind words. I send my warmest regards.

Chris check my feedback for past transactions. I’ve been a member here for ten years so there is a heap of feedback to consult. I’m not the “bad guy” here. Not a good idea to try to smear someone in public before you take the time to learn a little something about the person before you start hurling turds at them.

John, this isn't a public assault. You packed 55 pounds of acrylic drums in $4 single wall box with half a roll of orange Home Depot bubble wrap. But that's beside the point. I would have not bought the drums and wasted your time and mind had you taken a closer look at the repairs done on these drums. Frankly, they're pretty terrible. Below is a picture of the floor tom repair, which includes two drilled holes in a large spider crack with a light coating of super glue.

It’s always a issue with the newbies here go somewhere else if your a trouble make

John is A number 1 in my book

Take a look at the drum..... It's a dog.. If it were me I'd be paying someone a visit...

Mr controversy is still at it it seems... Take a good look at his history..

Oh and the "Newbie" has been here 3 1/2 years... how long does it take??

Cheers

John

So I’m not the only one?
