I have raised a Paypal dispute against our dubious friend Lukasz, aka Keten, but Ihaven't heard a peep from him in 3 & 1/2 days, I guess he's trying to ignore me now

Ah well, if I still have no satisfactory replies from him when I check my email tonight I will escalate this to a Paypal claim.

Do yourselves a favour people, AVOID HIM !!

Today a parcel was attempted to be delivered at my adress.. The sender was unknown. I tried to pick it up today.. but got the answer I had to wait untill tomorrow .

So it might be from Keten, as I am only awaiting a package from Keten at the moment.

Snip from Keten e-mail (friend chatted with him about fuse)


I understand it as we pay little in shipping and wait for ages to recieve parcel. But maybe there is an opprtunity to pay more, then recieve earlier - KeteN just thought we knew.

Pardon my French gentlemen.... but what a tw*t.

Pudi, if I may ask, how long ago was that conversation?

Has anyone had any direct news from Lukasz?

Thanks everyone.

[StephF]

When I enquired to Lukasz he told me that the shipping was 100 zl- for GLS courier transport.

I still haven't heard a dicky bird but Paypal are now handling the formal claim I made

[chris17]

I'm receiving 50 kg of perc soon. I 'split' an order with the pyrotechncis company I work for, so the shipping became a litle more affordable . If there is any demand, PM me for more info.
I will also probably order 50 kg of flake Al, approx. 60-250 mesh. If there is any interest for this, let me know.

I got the package - yay! Fast delivery when he finally sent it - I think he spoke the truth about the hospital, as he posted the parcel the same day that he supposedly got home from there.

heres pictures of what I got from him:

Keten's products are fine. He stocks things unavailable elsewhere. His delivery schedule has always been very variable. If you can't wait three months then just don't order!

With many orders I suspect his carriage cost is as much as the chemical value so I think he waits for there to be several parcels to go.

Does anyone have a hard address for him? I may have contacts in Poland.

Okay the whole illness thing just became alot more realistic in my opinion.

I was just sent this e-mail:

Witam

Proszê uprzejmie o cierpliwoc, z powodu powikan po chorobie pan Lukasz Mikus wkrótce sie skontaktuje z Pastwem w sprawie przesyke/zamówie

z powaaniem
Agnieszka Stolarz

Which, from a brief encounter with an online translator I believe means;

Please be patient with Lukasz Mikus because of his recent illness.

If any Polish speakers are able to provide something better then it would be very much appreciated so I'm not stuck in the proverbial ether any more!

The whole illness thing might be because he feels bad about telling people that their chemicals might be delayed...

(Maybe he does not stock them all, and might be selling some of them directly from a factory, causing a delay?)

[chris17]

He has used that hospital explanation few times before. Maybe he is just very prone to accidents I wouldn't mind if the orders are delayed for some real reason, but it really pisses me off when communication stops after payment. I'm sure all of you who have ordered will eventually get your stuff. It's just a matter of time. I'm so glad I don't have to order from Lukasz again, as everything I need is available elsewhere for better prices.

[StephF]

I'm sorry I just don't buy the whole hospital thing

If he genuinely had despatched my goods when he said he had, he would be able to tell me when the courier collected them and the tracking number

Transnational logistics companies dont just lose bar coded tracked packages, it would be bad for their reputation, I believe he never sent the goods

Maybe he buys the chemicals elsewhere when we pay him and then forwards them on ?

Whatever happened, I wouldn't mind so much if he didn't try to lie or ignore mails.

If he was straight up I wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer

[MMMMMM Pyro]

Yes,

I do agree very much, if he was upfront about how long it was going to take I would not mind waiting longer. The problem for me comes when he lies and refuses to answer attempts at communication!

Oh well, I shall keep trying and trying to see if I can get my stuff sent to me (As I too am disbelieving that he actually sent my goods).

Just finding out if anyone is interested in any willow charcoal?

I've been recently trying to secure a large amount for a manufacturer but it unfortunately appears that the sale inst going to happen on the scale we were initially looking at therefore I still have a load available to me if I can get rid of it. Its de barked very consistent charcoal which I've tested and found to be ever so slightly faster than the stuff I produce myself.

Price will be a maximum of £13 for the raw product which is very small chippings and sticks of charcoal and could be down to around £11 if they will bag and ship it to me in smaller amounts than I was initially wanting. Price for milled stuff is negotiable

I've probably sold 30kg already I want some myself and know some others who will want it so I'm trying to get rid of about 100kg so there's some left in stock.

Please email me if your interested and Ill keep you all updated as to what the progress is.
