I sent AK member Fhawk618 my Sony STR-GX90ES receiver in the winter of 2013, shortly after realizing that something was wrong with it.

This member and I discussed in AK Chat the issues that the receiver was having etc. and he was gracious enough to take a look at it for me and said he'd only charge me for the parts it needed and the shipping back to me. I was, of course, very delighted to take him up on this opportunity and very appreciative of his offer. However, since then its been a nightmare to try and get in touch with him for updates on the progress. He would go missing for weeks and sometimes months at a time. Whenever I was able to contact him, he'd just say how busy he was and that he didn't have a chance to look at it, was ordering parts... etc.
About 6 months ago, he came into AK chat, an area I frequent during the day, said he ordered the parts finally and will be able to get it fixed very shortly. At that point I was "content" and just patiently waiting for him to fix it and send it back to me. Around 3 months ago he claimed all the repairs were done and that he'd send it out soon. Since then its more of the disappearing act, and many of the same excuses.
Many promises were made to me on AK chat, and excuse after excuse was given as to why he could not send. I considered this member a "friend" and admittedly I let this go on way too long, and gave him the benefit of the doubt since he just appeared to be really busy. The bottom line is that after over a year of waiting, I have yet to get my receiver back.
I have all the PM correspondence sent out to him since 8/2013. All of which were sent with read receipts. He has been on AK during this time and knows that the PMs were sent and I never received a reply to ANY of them! Last week he happened to come into AK chat at the same time I was in there and promised he'd send the receiver out "today", as in on 4/10. As of 4/18, no reply, no tracking, and obviously no receiver. Enough is enough, I cannot wait any longer.
I'd like to add that many warning PMs were sent before posting this feedback and warnings were also given to this member by an AK moderator with whom he has dealt with before. So its not coming from out of nowhere. I have exhausted every effort possible to try and reach him!
He told a moderator on chat that the receiver was sent last week as well. Should this moderator wish to chime in, I am sure he will corroborate.
I have screen captures of the promises made in chat and have saved the PMs sent to him as well.
