Re: VR-500 tuning knob

I still have not received the part, originally ordered 5/11.  I have 
had many things shipped by USPS (mostly eBay transactions, which have 
a greater potential for unreliable shipping than a major corporation, 
I would think), and nothing ever got lost.  I find it mighty 
coincidental that the guy would make a point of telling me that they 
would not guarantee shipping, and then it never shows up, don't you?  
I've NEVER had anyone tell me that before, and I order tons of stuff 
by mail.

I haven't gotten around to calling Yaesu about it, and I am 
hesitating because I'm sure I'm just gonna get the standard 
reply, "We told you we didn't guarantee the shipping."  Frankly, I 
think I may have been scammed, but for a total cost of $2.70 (which 
they promptly billed), it's not at the top of my to-do list!  I 
consider it a cheap lesson about dealing with the Yaesu parts 
division.
