are fundamentally inconsistent statements. Part of being reliable is
being timely. "Months" is not procrastinating, it's avoiding sending to
someone what is rightfully theirs.
I've done my fair share of trades and sales on the net and I've never
gotten screwed, so I guess I'm lucky. However, I have been in
situations where I had to hold onto someone's money for more than a
couple of days for various reasons, and whenever that happened, I
informed the person that there would be a delay. It's not fair to hold
onto someone's goods or money without letting them know what is
happening.

Come on, just how stupid do you think we are? We know there's no
"roommate." This whole thing smells bad.
Besides, there's a difference between "You'll get your stuff, don't
worry," and "I never received your package, and the package I sent to
you got returned to me in 1000 pieces," especially when these things are
verifiable (in the case of the person who used UPS). You've told too
many stories to too many people.
Bottom line: if you can't get someone their goods in a reasonable amount
of time, then YOU ARE NOT RELIABLE!!
