Shit what? That's some heavy foam right there.

Yea I can't even imagine what the shipping costs on something that heavy would be.

according to the manufacturer, it costs them about $250 to ship it.

so after all this craziness, the company shipped the mattress by accident. I immediately called them after fedex dropped the 109lb package at my door.

The offered to come pick it up or to sell it to me at a very good price. So I purchased it fair and square from Nature's Sleep.

If anyone wants to buy it, hit me up Smiley

mods,
can we get a scammer tag to warn other potential buyers (and escrow agents who get annoyed when caught up in dumb shit like this Smiley )
As the escrow agent and a trusted member of Bitcointalk, you would the most qualified to head the scammer investigation. Compile the evidence in a convincing manner (for both sides, as you're able) and submit it to theymos. It'll take about 10 minutes for you to do, but you'll get a much better appreciation for the process the mods have to go through every time we want to mark someone as a scammer.

I decided not to buy a new mattress after this whole ordeal. The company is still offering me the mattress for $599.

If anyone was interested, I could purchase from Nature's Sleep and resell to one of you fine gents. You'd have to cover shipping costs though, since I don't think asking them to ship to another address is wise in this situation.

Just a thought, but I'd do it just because I'm nice, as long as my expenses are covered.

I just had their customer service dept cc you on the email. If that is satisfactory, please keep 2btc for yourself and send the rest back to the wallet in my signature. thanks.

I received an email directly from "Nature Sleep" confirming the order has been canceled due to credit card fraud.
I am refunding the full amount minus my fee (0.5%).  2 btc is too generous.
Do you want it returned to the same address it was sent from (13yEbZHgQSMFKsCRbgxK2bbf3wEMRjWeLs)?

If any mod would like a copy of the email for scammer tag purposes PM me.


sounds good to me, thank you sir.

I have already gotten confirmation from Nature's Sleep that the order is fraudulent and will not ship. If I can get them to send me an email stating this, will that suffice?

Sure.  have them send a copy directly to [email protected] and I will release the escrow.
If they can't/won't I forward me a copy and I will release escrow once I confirm it with them.

You can confirm via blockchain I haven't moved the escrow:

I know this may be annoying but I wouldn't be very good escrow agent if I simply returned funds based on the statements of a single party.  It doesn't mean I don't trust you but I need to be impartial.  I hope you understand.

I dont think anything the seller says now will be the truth, hes just going to try and scam his way in to receiving the funds. (what if he says it shipped and i received it, etc)

To avoid an automatic release back to you in 72 hours I would want to see a Fedex tracking # showing shipment (not just pending) along with confirmation from the company on shipment.  If that isn't provided then funds will be released back automatically in 72 hours. Even if it does ship, funds will not go to the seller they will just stay in escrow until resolved.

Also mention to her that if they accepted Bitcoins they would never have to worry about credit card fraud on those orders. Smiley
