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.

Very good advice.  Thanks for the heads up to the rest of us.
