Ripped off by the FSRC

I don't know if this is the proper place for this post, if it isn't please move it appropriately.
I contacted the FSRC (free spore ring Canada) over 6 weeks ago and arranged a trade. I sent them six pan prints for one cube strain I wanted. They agreed to this up front. This was not, send $2 and wait in line. Now 6 weeks later they have my prints and I have nothing. Attempts to contact them through PM's have been ignored (and they have been logged on). If this were a trade with an individual, I would just write it off, but this organization solicits donations from the members here, and the members have a right to know about unethical behavior on the part of FSRC.

same thing happened to me almost, i contacted him before hand and he said he had a pink oyster, so i sent my money. I also had a list of 5 other strains i would take.
never got anything in return other than a letter in the mail about a lottery i had to claim.

Ya know...I started the FSR. I ran it for a couple years...spending money for prints and envelopes and stamps. All was totally free then. After that, I charged a dollar.
I had to stop because I was sending more then I was getting. The idea was to have everyone help.
So.....if it takes a bit to get a print from a FSR...its because nobody is sending any prints in. That sucks.
I know the guys in Canada and Europe. They are not gonna rip you off.
What people should do is send in prints!!!! That is what makes the FSR work.
Dont worry about your dollar or 2...the FSR does all this out of love for this community. The time it takes, and they get nothing, is an example of some good people!!
Remember what Kennedy said about the country:)

Did you even read my post?????
I exchanged 3 PMs with FSRC to arrange a *Trade*. Six pan prints for one cube print, a trade very much in their favor. The trade was agreed to promptly. Why would you agree to a trade for a print you don't have?? This was *NOT* a send in $2 situation. Now it's been nearly seven weeks since I send my prints. I have sent two additional PMs to get a status on the trade, and now I get no response. So don't tell me what nice guys they are. It only takes a minute to respond to a PM and it's only common courtesy to do so.

ralphs message may not have been 100% on topic, but it defanitly makes a valid point.
Hell i even want to donate some prints now. Just a few more days babies...
    
You see i believe ralph when he says something because SWIM sends him cash and he sends back what you ask for .. some times a bit more than you asked for.

Hi danzick
My apologies for not responding to your PM, but your print was sent. You should have received it by now. If not, email me with your shipping info and I'll make sure you get it.
Thanks Shdwstr

this should have been posted in the Marketplace forum...
the Free Spre Rings are not Vendors/Sponors here at the Shroomery.
and Shdwstr wouldn't rip you off...
I'm sure this is all a misunderstanding that he will take care of.
stuff does get lost in the mail from time to time.
I'm going to lock this since Shdwstr has had a chance to respond...
and I'm sure this will be taken care of.
Please note...to post all FSR posts in the Marketplace forum.
If you don't have enought time or posts to use or see that forum, please post in the Mush Cult forum.
thank you!~
