Many of you probably already know about about Fine Pipes International. He does not send the product after receiving payment. He even says "its in the mail". It just never comes. Because of the risk of slander, I cannot say what I think of him. But you can guess.
Watch out.

I didn't know. I don't always have coin to throw on a new pipe but when I do, I of course expect delivery. Thanks for the tip
I’m not above slander. Spill more details. I love calling shitbirds out.
Defamation in written form is actually libel, rather than slander, but I too am interested in the details, noting that if a publication is true, that is an absolute defense.

You can file a dispute with your credit card company and/or PayPal, whichever you used, if you didn't get your order. Also file a complaint with the state attorney general in both your state and the seller's state.
Yes he is old, but when speaking to him on the phone, he does have help in the background. Of course it could be someone named Harvey. Really he seems alert, and nice enough. The order was for nothing more than pipe wax. I have found out that Smoking Pipes will no longer order from him, as they used to carry his stuff. If you look up his stuff there is nothing that says he is out of business, and he took my order over the phone. OH well, I suppose I won't die from a lack of wax.

I’ll clarify. Since truth is the antidote. I’m not above talking shit.
I mentioned infirmities due to my thinking the site was moribund years ago. Perhaps it's I who is the demented one, in which case how would I know? In any event, we've been warned. Thank you for the heads-up.
Sad to hear about the bad service. He used to be on top of his game years ago.
I tried to email several times with no reply a few months ago so I wrote him off without purchase. Looks as though he pulled out of ebay as well with several negative feedbacks for non service, I wouldn't hold your breath for delivery and just try to get a refund.

Moved out of the classified section (OP - please read the rules before posting to this area).
He used to sell on eBay, but I find no product now.
It looks like he has been a problem since 2022:

Source Question About Halcyon and Paragon Wax
Anyone know if Samuel Goldberger of Fine Pipes Int'l is still the manufacturer of Halcyon and Paragon waxes? Placed an order directly on their website and not sure it is still active. Curious if anyone PSDer have any recent experience(s) to share. Was excited to order 8oz jars of the waxes...

I still have some Paragon and Halcyon wax. I will say Renaissance wax works very well. I was hesitant at first due to its petroleum smell, but the smell goes away in a few minutes and it does not impart any flavor to stems if you choose to wax those too.
