To anyone who might have reason to purchase certified parts, primarily
Piper, DON'T contact Sky Harbor 95, Ltd. in Edmonton, Canada.  I have
already spent the last 4 months trying to get my $865.00 back for an aileron
I purchased that was received damaged.  Through Sky Harbor's lies and
deception, they convinced UPS that they were the owner of the aileron, and
they wanted it back, along with the $900.00 insurance claim.  That's exactly
what UPS did.  To set the record straight, I paid for the aileron, shipping
and insurance on Feb. 12, 2003 with my VISA account.  That made me the legal
owner of the aileron.  I have contacted Sky Harbor a number of times, via
telephone, e-mail and regular mail.  They still have the aileron, my money
AND the insurance claim.  They have not responded to any of my contacts to
get my money back.  I finally got a phone call from MBNA Bank concerning the
dispute I registered in early April of my VISA account.  They told me that
since UPS got involved as a "third party," and paid the insurance claim,
MBNA Bank will not honor my dispute!!!!  I guess I just don't understand how
having a thief get away with having my money AND UPS's insurance claim keeps
me from getting my VISA account credited.  MBNA Bank will be getting my
notice of cancellation shortly.

As a last resort, I left a voice mail with the Transportation Authority Of
Canada.  If they won't help me in this matter, I guess my next step would be
to take the time and money to fly to Edmonton and personally introduce
myself to Paul Gervais.  I am a calm and gentle person, but I guarantee that
I will come back home with my money!!!!!

The moral of this story is beware.  It's obvious that there are still a lot
of crooks left in the aviation industry.  I don't want to offend anyone who
is on this e-mail listing who lives in Canada, but I will never again
purchase an aircraft part from any distributor in Canada.
