NO, my problem not resolved still. I already forgot about this problem. But several buyers from my country asked me about Ferdinando. Ofcourse I told them that it is not good idea to buy something from this seller.

The most funny thing that about wrong size I did not get any answer from Ferdinando Villano, I have all e-mail letters from him, this answer he wrote me after I sent him letter with my ask that the reserve canopy arrived to me not correct size and damaged - "Hello Pavel, I'm sorry for what happened. The shipment shall be opened to check the contents, and have damaged the opening the reserve.Infact that is a jerk and not a burn lines or accidental opening. The reserve is new and has never been used. I have some photos, if you want to see you, I'll send tomorrow, so you can check it too. As for the measure, I'm sorry but I am confused. Obviously if it had not torn the return back. I knew I should not send the reserves in Russia. I remain at your disposal for any clarification. Regards Ferdinand But the reserve was in perfect condition, has never been used" You can see that about size there was not any answer, only about damage. And certainly I did not get any photos from Ferdinando Villano.

I do not want to have problems because I alredy had problem with Ferdinando Villano from Italy. You can read this case on forum http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3813247;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread

I think everything is clear that the reserve canopy was send with wrong size and damaged. The seller thought that I will be silent about this case. I gave many proofs and did not get any answer from seller. From this case I got bad experience which I did not want to hide from people who buy something from Classifieds.

Thank you Nova, I hope that I will not see this reserve over my head too. And I hope that I will not repiat my mistake when I will buy something on DZ.com I think everybody know that in Russia very expansive skydive gear and to buy skydive gear from DZ.com is cheaper. I helped to finde skydive equipment to all my friends in Russia, all of them are happy. And I am going to continue buy gear if somebody will ask me. But because of the case with Ferdinando Villano I a little bit afraid to buy gear. I draw conclusions from this case and I will be more cautious in future.

Yesterday I recieved reserve canopy from the USA, the package went approx 1,5 month, I was very glad when I got the canopy, because the reserve canopy is like new and the most inmportant for me, without any damages.

I see that my topick became very popular. I offer to all skydiver who had problems with bad sellers to write about bad sellers. I think it will be very usefull for all.

I did not get any answer from Ferdinando Villano. Now I repared Techno 115 (150 euros) which I did not need (it is smaller than I looked for), sold them for low price and already bought PDR 126 for 600 dollars. Thanks to Ferdinando Villano I spent a lot of time and money.

Also I want to show that Ferdinando Villano want to sell any skydive equipment on www.dropzone.com you can see http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=89449;d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=88555;d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=88554;d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=88551;d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=88550;d=1 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=88552;d=1 You can read my topick and think, should you buy somethink from Ferdinando Villano or better you buy something from famous seller. Do not repeat my mistake. As you know "The avaricious pays twice".

ferdyvillano11 said that he "have pictures of the reserva made prior to shipment, perfect, intact" Why we did not already see them??? May be he does not have any pictures or he wanted to place on the forum pictures of another canopy, but I placed the photo with the damage before?

I also called to the post and to the customs. They said that if they open the package, they make a document which contais the inscription and seal that the package was open by post or customs and on the package they glue on a red sticker that tells that the package was open. The customs open the packages very rarely, because they x-ray all packages. You can see the poto of the packge - there is not any red sticker. Also you can see all documents which I recieved with the package - there is not any words and seal that package was opened. So I made a big exposure like Sherlok Kholms))) to prove that Ferdinando Villano told lie. He already deceived me 2 times - 1st when he sent me wrong canopy, 2nd - when he told me that this reserve was new and have newer been jumped. The shipping company (post) and customs are not guilty, so we can say that the reserve canopy was damaged in Italy before shipment.

I think it is not reserve canopy. It is looks like accuracy canopy like ParaFoil. There is very big cells and the pilot at the picture is working on accuracy

To ncjumpjunkie Thank you for your post, I ask you to give me address of the "OPEN FORUM" , because I want to tell about this case to all skydivers who buy or sell skydive goods abroad.

I absolutely agree with Alexey because I know him, he is a famous rigger and manufacturer, and I respect his opinion. I am placing the photos of the package. I made them in that day when I have got the package. I opened the package from top and without any "cutter", only with my hends, because I knew that there was reserve canopy into the package. I can not make photo of the second damage, because the canopy in the factory. And I already paid MY OWN 150 EUROS for the repair ("add unnecessary fuel to this fire"). To the Ferdinando Villano I transfered money from my bank accout to his. So I can not return my money and the seller continion to ignore me and this forum. And I repeat - Do not buy anything from Ferdinando Villano, Italy because HE COULD DECEIVE YOU AS HE DECEIVED ME. Be carefull.

Do not forget that the reserve canopy has 2 holes one on the top (that you can see on the picture) and other one symmetric on the bottom side of the canopy.
