As far as inspection and signature, I told Doug right away that the mast must be shipped to my club with instruction to the trucking company to call me an hour in advance of arrival so that I can come and inspect and sign. Doug did not do it. I called the company myself when the mast was in transit and left two messages with their dispatchers. Even after that they called me because their truck was already two blocks from the club and they needed directions. I told them I needed 30 minutes at least to get there. They still went on to drop the mast off, and got someone at the club to sign for it (without my authorization).
<br>
<br>To make things fair, I am posting Doug's two emails that I received in response to my posting:
<br>

<br>
<br>FOR WHAT YOU TOLD IS NOT THE WHOLE TRUTH. WHERE IS THE PART THAT AN
<br>UNAUTHORIZED SIGNER TOOK POSSESION OF THE MAST WITHOUT INSPECTING IT ? WHERE
<br>IS THE PART WHERE THE TRUCKING COMPANY NEVER CONTACTED YOU. WHERE IS THE PART
<br>THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PERSUE THE TRUCKING COMPANY ? YOU ONLY
<br>PRINTED WHAT WOULD BENIFIT YOU AS I THOUGHT YOU WOULD. THIS WILL PASS FOR ME
<br>BUT FOR YOU THE PROBLEM HAS JUST GOTTEN BIGGER ! SEE YOU IN
<br>COURT. HOPE YOU CAN AFFORD THE TIME TO COME TO FLORIDA !
<br>
<br>THANK YOU,
