On April 30 we agreed to a trade - my Monty Python's Meaning of Life for his Amerzone -I sent my side of the trade and received confirmation from him on May 11 that he had received my package. I still have not gotten Amerzone.
I have e-mailed Kyle multiple times on this and the response was that it must be stuck in customs. Now I see that there are two other trades that he has also failed to complete.
Most recent I have e-mailed stating that I didn't want to add to the Bad Trader Reports and just receive my side of the trade BUT my e-mails are now being returned with a message that they can't be delivered because the recipients address is not reachable.
If I get my trade, I will gladly take down this report - but this is garbage.

Sorry Kyle, but my patience has grown thin... wry smile

My 1st trade with Kyle went smoothly back in June 2000. We made a deal on March 22, 2002 where I trade an unopened Empire Earth for his Devil May Cry and Mortal Kombat 4. Because I traded with him before with no problem, I sent around the same time a couple of days later (still have Postal receipt). He confirmed his side of the trade approx. 3 weeks later so I know he has received Empire Earth.

I know packages from Canada to U.S. takes a little longer than packages from U.S. to Canada. 1/2 a month later I began to worry and e-mailed him about it and received a reply on April 23rd:

"I mailed the package shortly after we pended. However, I just recieved it back today, the address was written down incorrectly, I'm sorry :(. It will be back out tommorrow morning."

So I waited for another month. I still did not received his side and e-mailed him again, received a reply on May 29th:

"As I've told all the people that had packages sent out to them within the past two months to two weeks, *every game* was returned to sender (I thought I emailed everyone, but I guess not. That's two people I've missed now :/). My (now ex) girlfriend was the one responsible for that. I'm not going to go into details about her, as I'm just going to get frustrated again. Anyway, every game was sent back in the mail two weeks back, though I used a slower method of shipping (Sorry about that, but having to send everything back out cost me upwards of $50.00 Canadian). Please give the games another week to arrive :/."

Pretty odd to received "every game* back to him. wry smile Anyways, I gave him another week (till end of 1st week of June). Today is the 10th (a little more than a week into June) and still nothing.

I have all original e-mails filed along with the Postal receipt.

Kyle - I will be more than happy to remove this BTR when either your package (DMC & MK4) arrives or receive something in place of it.

Payment sent to Kyle Grotek over two months ago. No games received. Emails have resulted in many reasons why the games did not make it yet. I will be happy to delete this report if the games ever do arrive. In the meantime, Beware!
