Has anyone heard from Angus at Pure Time lately? I had an excellent experience buying from him recently, and decided to make another purchase. On May 2, I paid for a HBB by paypal - using the same paypal address I had used for my original transaction, taking the appropriate paypal precautions (I don't know if it's appropriate to show his paypal address here?), and on May 6 I paid for a BCE by Paypal (same precautions). He acknowledged receipt of the payments. No problem. On May 9, I asked if I could change my BCE order. He replied that day, saying, "No problem if you dont really need it, I also want my customers to like their watches, just let me know if you need something else." Great! I thanked him, and told him I'd get back to him about what watch to include with the HBB shipment. He replied, "No problem, just let me know which watch you want to change to." That was Wednesday, May 9 (west coast, USA time). I received one more email from him, on Thursday, May 10, suggesting that a particular super rep would make a good replacement for the BCE. That was the last I heard from him.
On Friday, May 11, I emailed Angus, telling him which watch I wanted. It's more expensive than the original BCE order, so I asked him how much additional $ to pay. I repeated the email on Sat, May 12. I've sent 1-2 emails per day since then, asking when the HBB will ship, and whether he wants to refund the BCE funds, or wants more $ for the new watch. Nothing. I've PM'd him from the 3 forums, and he hasn't read the pm's yet. I have noticed that he has been logging onto TRC and RGW as recently as May 15.
Am I being unreasonable in my expectations? He's had $720 since May 6, but I figure the clock really started ticking (appropriate, no?) on May 11 when I believed I had finalized my order. So, he's had from Friday, May 11 to contact me, either with tracking info, or to say he couldn't get the new watch, or... something. It's been a week now. While I don't believe he's got nefarious plans for my $720, the fact that he's been logging onto the forums means he isn't incapacitated, so any suggestions?
