Story does not add up. Hope you can get to the bottom of it. Your brother have any history of substance abuse? If he isn't but he is naive enough for you to believe the UPS story, then I think one of his acquaintances stole it or swindled it from him and he made up the UPS cover story.

After the charge back the merchandise is once again the property of the seller. The items should have been returned to the seller. Your CC simply removes money from the vendors account. Your CC does not pay for the items.

I think the vendor asked UPS to recover the items. When UPS comes to pick up the items, your brother is confused as to what has happened and what needs to be returned. So in this confusion he hands over the rifle after the threat of lawsuit. The description of the items may have been rifle parts for an R700.

Your rifle is either at UPS or on the way to the vendor. I'm sure the vendor wanted the stock and scope back in order to substantiate the legitimacy of the charge back. They don't know if there is real damage or if your are claiming damage in order to get the items for free.

Put yourself in their position. Say you sold something online to someone and shipped it to them. Then they contact you and want a refund because of damaged goods. Would you blindly refund the money without any evidence of damage?

This is basically what I was thinking.

Order a stock and a scope......brother gives him the whole rifle? Where are the items that were damaged? You said you bought them else where to replace the damaged ones. UPS guy is incharge of getting items back or they will file charges? All sounds too fishy to me.

He knew that the OP bought and stole used his position to steal that rifle plain and simple if this story line is true. It is the merchant's responsibility to get back their damaged parts, UPS is not a collection agency.

Original ones I tossed because they were damaged and unusable (and in the case of the stock, dangerous to use). I sold off the second pair I bought and was planning on selling my R700 to another CL when I got back.

Right now I'm also wondering if the boss was planning on filing charges against me directly, though his company, or was communicating that the merchant wanted to. In any case, it's a really stupid situation I never thought I'd be in.

Your second big mistake, now how are you going to prove the parts where damaged upon delivery? If you did a charge back on your CC and wanted your money back that broken part does not belong to you to throw away. The vendor has the rights to ask for those parts back.


This entire story has so many holes in it that it all sounds very fishy. Either the OP is as naive (i am not going to use the word dumb)as he comes across or this entire story is a bunch of BS.

Yup, way too many problems that don't add up.

Who has less street smarts here, the guy who allegedly gave the gun to the "UPS GUY" or the guy who believed the story, and calls it a confiscation?
