I can quantify it even better than Bruce's "very slim"
during the last 3 years, we have shipped about 4000 packages
about 20% of them went overseas
during those 3 years, we did lost one (1) package going to Europe
it was rather inexpensive, and of course - we just refunded or
credited the buyer - as we always do
so either the odds of a package getting lost (when well packaged as
both Bruce and myself package) are 3999-1 as measured by the total
number of shipped packages or approximately 799-1 as measured by the
approximately 800 packages we shipped overseas.
I'd say that the odds of 2 packages getting lost to overseas buyers
from a seller who shipped what I believe has to have been
considerably fewer packages than myself is incredibly long.
If the accused Al shipped 800 packages overseas as I have, the math
would look something like 800/1 x 799/1 or approximately 639,000 to 1.
I find it more likely that any seller claiming such a high loss rate
didn't ship the packages at all and just kept the money with the
nefarious intention of keeping the money AND the posters

Now that name Al Shevy rang a bell to me, and I checked in my older
email folder:
In September 2005 in bought posters from him on ebay (his ID back
then: coolstuff159 ) for
$292,74
And never received anything! Unfortunately it was too late to file
a paypal claim, or even leave neg. feedback I think.
He first told me can't take paypal (wonder why) and 3 weeks later
he said I could pay with paypal now, which I did then (I think he
only had 1-2 negative feedbacks) I never received anything then,
and only got one reply from him about when and how they were sent,
saying sth like: 'I took them to the post office'
Included was a Henry artwork style, Pulp Fiction Quad, Lost highway 1sh.
So Al, you still owe me $292,74 or these or other posters. How's that?

Betreff: Re: [MOPO] Memories of MoPo Past
I can shed a little bit of light ...
Al Shevy is a guy who sold posters on eeebay several years ago, I
was the winning bidder on a particular auction and paid promptly
via Paypal. Poster never posted despite several messages back and
forth, several deadlines ignored / missed, Paypal refunded most of the $$$.
Al Shevy provided a valuable lesson ... and it only cost me less than $40
I'm sure he must be a nice guy to some people, probably a great
family man as well, but with online business dealings ... he is
just a low-rent, mouth breathing, jack leg, butthead, suck-egg
country mule geechie, bless his evil 'lil heart. I was once
consumed that this cretin thought he was going to get away without
paying up, then I realised it was small poop from smaller poop. Now
... I wouldn't spend the time or money to buy salt ... to pour on
the slug. I feel somewhat used by wasting this time to type out
this message, but hey, what's done ... is done.
BTW ... smoochies, Al ... miss you ...

I've been in this hobby for almost 30 years. Will someone please
tell me....
Who the hell is Al Shevy?
I can't believe for almost 30 years I've never had the please
of meeting or hearing of such a warm and wonderful man!
