Does canadapost usually give an ETA on when it is supposed to arrive?

Within Canada, yes, but his original package was routed in a strange way and did not come to me directly.

Just out of interest, is it 100% safe to give out a tracking number on an online forum. The contents are known and are valuable. Maybe there are ways to intercept the package if you know some details about the sender and recipient (which may be deducable here or on other threads, forums, online resources). Also post office employees might be able to abuse that information.

That would be a statistic disaster. You get ripped of through the internet. Than suddenly you maybe get your watch back from the thief. And than your watch got stolen by a employee from the courier/postoffice... What are the odds...

1-12 business days? That's not narrowing it down at all!
Let's hope it's the real thing.
Good luck

Are you sure? If USPS did this to me, my head would explode.

The wide margin for delivery has nothing to do with Canada Post, rather Canada Customs...

How about this -- if he serves enough meaningful jail time to get rehabbed (6 months or more) than his name comes down from OF. If he does not have to serve any meaningful time, it stays up here forever.

You can't "rehabilitate" sociopaths and consequences that are strictly punitive don't really help anybody. How about agreeing to allow him to try to salvage his reputation after he provides proof of having reimbursed all of the other people he scammed? Obviously, there's no way to know how many victims he had; but for these purposes, it would be sufficient for him to reimburse just those of his victims who've become aware of this thread? That's all rhetorical, because sociopaths don't really have any genuine interest in "changing" and only pursue "change" to the extent it's in their best interest transactionally. That's fine. Let him trade reimbursement of those victims for whatever he's requesting.

How do you know he's a sociopath?

There are others here he has scammed with less than honest transactions that haven鈥檛 come forward in this thread. ( not up to me to tell all )
Selling parts that were misrepresented with photos of better condition goods has also been one of his things over time.

I can't "know"; but it's a pretty safe bet that a serial scam artist with no regard for his victims who immediately feigns contrition and/or redemption upon exposure and begs his victims to forgive him and help him escape the personal consequences of his scams is a classic sociopath.

This man is a scammer and a cheat, but "sociopath" isn't a term to band around lightly. In fact DSM-5 (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders) doesn't recognise the term at all, preferringbto group such behaviours under the title of "Antisocial Personality Disorder".

Psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health professionals train for years to make these kind of diagnoses, and even they disagree or get it wrong from time to time (perhaps even most of the time!). Much as I have no sympathy for the perpetrator of these crimes, to attempt to make such a diagnosis on the basis of a few bulletin board posts, and without taking any kind of history from the subject whatsoever, is irresponsible and negligent in the extreme.

Apologies for the serious tone of this post, but responding to a post such as yours demands some seriousness.

Yes, sociopath may be the wrong thing to call him, just use the simple layman's term of " thieving 馃が" ( inserting suitable favoured bad word as required ). Much clearer and no debate necessary.

Indeed!
