Shoot, that's a bad deal. I know moving across country has to make even an organized person hopelessly out of sorts for awhile.
I wanted to help Bill get started on his watch journey and told him there were no strings attached for a couple of pretty nice watches that I sent him due to a comment made through the PIF thread. He decided to offer his services in the PIF thread in exchange for the watches and that is where the OP comes in.
Bill did make a generous offer to do something for me in return but that never materialized. I offered the watches without strings so I am not upset that I didn't receive anything in return, nor have I ever asked Bill about it. I didn't gift the watches with expectations but once he offered services to others, I do have expectations that those individuals would be taken care of. I am disappointed that another member has problems that he shouldn't have due to my indirect involvement. The OP is out 2 machetes because I sent Bill a couple of watches. That kinda sucks and I feel compelled to apologize to bikerector even though I am not the one with his machetes. My sincere apologies bikerector.
I am in no way dog-piling on Bill and really hope that there is just an extreme and unintentional delay due to a chaotic move.
