Beware dimue aka dirk mueller

[eerie4]

the item i bought from him the godkiller proto type is on there..

Does he have his items on yourprops?

 

[Melwicker1]

Hmm. Cases like this one almost sound more like accidents that happen with online transactions.
However, if something like this happens multiple times with the same seller, then it does sound suspicious.

This story sound a little familiar. Recently a guy in Washington DC ordered a TV from amazon and when his package arrived it was a expensive assault rifle. The shipper screwed up the shipping label and the TV got lost and the gun got delivered.

How come that never happens to me?

You don't think he coulda just photoshop the second receipt...

From looking at both photos of both receipts, while probably possible, I personally think it's highly unlikely. Too much going on with alignments, items that would need changing, and differences between print outs that if it is a photoshop job, it's pretty elaborate and undetectable to me.

DHL's website shows the package was delivered in OZ? look at my link I posted. Do you live in Australia?

I think there were 2 packages shipped at the same time, from the same location. One to Japan (which was then forwarded on to Oz and delivered), and one that was supposed to go to Eerie in the US. Changing a destination as a recipient while a package is in transit is possible with UPS, so it might be possible with DHL.

If it were me, I'd be on the phone with DHL customer support and ask them about the identical sendungsnummers and how that could happen, and if it's possible to pull the records from the system directly. You have the address of the shop, and the date/time stamp the packages were allegedly shipped out.

Hope it all works out.

It seems like a cluster ****

i have spent hours on phone and emails with DHL they are unaware of anyway this could happen and because they are a third party between the German post and sender they can't help. I've tried contacting the German post it was sent one but can't got through to anything but German prompt system...

yeah i 'm thinking he just photoshoped the photo of the receipt... but seems like a pretty elaborate plan...lol so maybe someday it will actually arrive but i'm not holding my breath.. I'll let you know in a few weeks...lol

That and the date and time stamp on the receipts is raising an eyebrow for something that I'm understanding to be from late 2011 and early 2012?

Notice the third line from the top on both receipts in the images provided above -- 2215 hours and 2216 hours on August 27, 2012?

I'm likely missing something though -- my understanding of German is limited to Google Translate. =P

Two identical DHL tracking numbers for two different packages? Impossible!!! I have never seen this.

And as a graphics professional let me tell you: This second receipt IS definitely manipulated with a graphics software. But I could do that much better! :lol

 

[TerryMcIntosh]

Considering thermal printers and paper rolls are so cheap, and plug in to a computer through USB, why would one need to bother with Photoshop for something like that? A completely hypothetical situation in this case, but the simplest answer is often correct if things just don't add up. Best wishes that everything turns out for the best!

[Amish Trooper]

Again people did you look at DHL's website.? I did and it shows 2 separate package's one successfully delivered to Japan and the other to Australia both using the same tracking number

 

[Amish Trooper]

For those who didn't look at DHL'S website. It clearly shows 2 packages received in 2 separate countries

 

[TerryMcIntosh]

You seem to have missed that in the receipt photos provided, one was sent to Japan (shown as JP on the receipt on the left), and the second was destined for the US (shown as US on the receipt to the right). Both receipts with the same tracking number, one package that went to Japan and then took a nice holiday to Australia for some reason, as shown on the German mail system website, and the second package, that if I'm understanding correctly eerie4 says was for him, has not arrived in the US and DHL cannot provide information about it from the duplicate tracking number.

This could be an honest mistake -- hey, they happen -- but to me, based on what's been disclosed, this seems at face value to be pegging the needle on the unlikely-o-meter. To be fair, the package could show up tomorrow and the naysayers could be proven wrong. That would be a great thing and I'm sure a few apologies to Dimue would be in order.

Do not know what you are seeing, but I do not.

Also, that number shows up twice on the website with being delivered to the 2 different locations. Look a few posts up

 

[Amish Trooper]

Like I said this looks like it was the error of DHL.

Okay, but the two receipts say, both packages has been posted by the sender at the post office on the same day (August 27 to Japan and USA). But the tracking says, it was on two different days (August 27 to Japan and August 29 to Australia). Who is lying?

 

[Scapey]

Roland - Any chance you could tell us exactly what you see in the receipts that tell you they're Photoshopped please?

 

[Amish Trooper]

Yes both receipts are stamped 8/27 and DHL's website is providing 2 different receipts dates but they are also showing one tracking number going to 2 different continents which sounds implausible but it is the info that DHL is providing. Dimue only gave us the tracking number and everything else is coming from DHL...They seemed to have fubar this transaction but yet people still want to say it is the sellers fault. I'm not seeing it

Okay, let me show you what I mean. Look at my picture. If I copy the tracking number from the second receipt and put it over the number from the first receipt with 50% transparency, the viewing angles of both numbers are identical. If I do the same for example with the word "Sendungsnummer", it doesn't match.

Since that doesn't work with the other picture, it could be just a remarkable coincidence. But it's still mysterious.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Seeing as DHL ****ed up, they should pony up if the item gets lost. But knowing shipping companies they'll likely try to weasel their way out of any responsibility.

Hope the package arrives and everything gets sorted.

If you can't do the same thing with both pictures, then you can't say for certain the images were photoshopped. Scientific method and all that.

Here are the original 2 images with notes I added in red.

If you look closely at both, there are a couple of noticeable "printhead skips;" also, the alignments with the printing on the rear of the receipts is consistent between both photos, particularly where the handwritten notes are.

And again, it appears the package sent to Japan was forwarded on to Australia as the final destination. It wasn't 2 separate packages...look at the timeline (no overlapping dates).

I'm not Michael Vick, so I have no dog in this fight...but I'm not saying Dirk is in the clear, so I'm not ready to lynch him just yet without harder evidence.
