    Need Help Finding a Customer

    Hello,

    In 2013 a gent sent me a money order for a sight.

    I shipped the sight, and it was returned to me after making rounds in Canadaicon. It seems this gentleman moved and didn't leave a forwarding address.

    Additionally, he didn't answer any emails and I had no phone number on file for him.

    I've searched for this feller a couple times per year since. However, I've not asked publicly because I'd been waiting for his name to turn up in public files or maybe even to contact me. I'd have returned the money had this been through electronic payment, but since it was a MO I figure any payment I sent to the given address would have been returned, as was the package.

    I'd like to put paid to this order this year. I've had the bloody box in my shop for almost three years now, and it's beyond ridiculous. It's not my property and it eats at me.

    I'm hoping this feller might just see this post, or maybe someone here knows him or what happened to him.

    His last name is Gregg. The address was in BC. I'm not giving the road or postal code publicly because that just encourages the spam bots.

    If this is you or you know who this is, please contact me via PM here or through my website's contact me page.

    Please do NOT post your email addresses here, because those feed spam bots.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Regards,

    Josh

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    You could ask a legal adviser, if you are concerned, about the ownership of the item but you have probably done all you can to reunite it with it's owner. After more than 3 years the chap has most likely completely forgotten about it and is not likely to come forward.

    Unless it was SUPER crazy expensive, I agree you've done everything to make it right- not much else you can do.

    Thank you for the kind words, gents.

    I guess I don't see this as above and beyond. I would hope that a person would do the same for me, is all, and am grateful to my customers for making me a success. I'd rather not fail them.

    Regards,

    Josh
