Fakes & FraudsFrom Holland

I want to talk to you about this character and I advise you to leave him alone on any sales. This person,in addition to immediately claiming a discount on minerals, he also questioned their authenticity, a shame for him that my material always comes from 100% certain sources.
I had warned him that given the Covid period, shipments abroad with certain countries suffer major delays. He still wanted the expedition, which was done. After not even a few weeks he pretended to get the money back via paypal complaint, too bad that the registered letter has stopped in the Netherlands since November 24 and he never deigned to ask for information on why it was not delivered, so for the Italian Post Office the registered letter has been delivered and therefore he must understand why he has not received it yet. Now the character is having fun slandering me in some social groups, he blocked private messages on facebook, which is what I did now as I don't want to know about this character anymore, and he hasn't written the whole story, showing himself as if he had been scammed. It will be my responsibility to notify paypal of his behavior, as well as the fact that in 20 years of sales one of my packages has never been lost and he would be the only case.

Vi voglio parlare di questo personaggio e vi consiglio di lasciarlo perdere su eventuali vendite. Questa persona oltre a pretendere immediatamente uno sconto sui minerali metteva pure in dubbio della loro autenticità, peccato per lui che il mio materiale arriva sempre da fonti certe al 100%. Lo avevo avvisato che visto il periodo Covid le spedizioni all'estero con determinati paesi subiscono grossi ritardi. Ha voluto ugualmente la spedizione, cosa fatta. Dopo nemmeno poche settimane ha preteso di riavere il denaro indietro tramite reclamo via paypal, peccato che la raccomandata sia ferma in Olanda dal 24 novembre e lui non si è mai degnato di chiedere informazioni sul perchè non gli sia stata consegnata, quindi per le Poste Italiane la raccomandata è stata consegnatae quindi deve essere lui a capire perchè non l'ha ancora ricevuta. Ora il personaggio si sta divertendo a diffamarmi in alcuni gruppi nei social, ha bloccato i messaggi privati su facebook, cosa cheh o fatto anche io ora dato che non ne voglio più sapere di questo personaggio, e non ha messo scritto tutta la vicenda, mostrandosi come se fosse stato truffato. Sarà mia cura avvisare paypal del suo comportamento, oltre al fatto che in 20 anni di vendita non è mai stato perso un mio pacco e lui sarebbe l'unico caso.

I can certainly confirm that there are some extreme delays in postal services these days. I have received mail that has taken almost 6 months (and that was airmail). Four weeks from the USA is not uncommon for me.
For international services - FedEx is probably the best.

the character no longer knows what to say, he had been warned of the problems for the covid, I do not work in shipments and therefore I cannot know how and where the packages go, the Italian Mail say that is arrived on November 24 in Holland so it is it's up to him to look where is

I received wednesday a parcell from Zamboanga Island in the Philippines, posted May 17, 2020 !
With pandemic, that's just what it is. Not those people's fault, the stamp of the post office don't lie.
Keep safe.

I have win the paypal dispute against Niels van Velzen since he was smart and did not close the report on paypal .
avoid selling minerals to him given his unfair behavior towards me, especially by defaming me on social networks
