just dont close the dispute. It doesnt sound like you plan on it but just in case. there is plenty of time for him to get the part to you with the dispute open

 

He shipped my part and sent me tracking this morning.

 

I would only do a trade in person or with someone I know very well.

 

I am a nice guy I guess. I make trades on here often, but from now on I am going to require a cash deposit for my trades. Sucks, but I got lucky this time and do not want to chance it in the future.

 

Also recieved a tracking number so hes not a scammer just to clear the slate thanks everyone.

 

I am asking to keep this open until we receive our parts.

 

Yes i request that also i will cancel the dispute with paypal as soon as it arrives.

 

I work for FedEx... If you don't receive parts within a week then I would most certainly begin to worry. After two weeks I would file complaint and resolve the problem through PayPal. I've shipped a lot of stuff and none of it has ever taken over a week... Including an exhaust to virginia (3days) turbo to Canada ( just shy of a week). I always ship ground at at the cheapest price possible. I would begin your dispute with paypal.

 

Then you can attest to the fact that fedex smart post can take up to a month to receive lol ive seen the horse and buggy they use myself.

 

I am in this thread for no other reason than to agree with this post and express my loudly exclaimed "****!" when I see my items shipped through smartpost.

 

I do not use smart post... I go to the FedEx/kinko's shipping place like everyone else would and ask for the cheapest shipping via ground or express. If you get the item there and in the system before 6pm it should get picked up that very day and start the shipping process. All I am saying is at the cheapest cost and ground... the longest it should take a package to get anywhere is NO MORE than 2 weeks especially if they said they shipped it already. tracking is provided on all reciepts. There's no excuses. I'd give a day or two after payment for the person to box up the part and get it to the fedex store.

Quite frankly... I dont even know what smart post is. I work in a customized accounts department dealing with all international freight and big corporations. I just input info for customs to clear freight into the US. So I don't deal with any packages or domestic freight, but from my own experience of shipping a ton of stuff over the last 5 years, any longer than 2 weeks and you got duped.

 

I received my item today.

 

Here's an example... Just sold a cluster gauge pod... Shipping it from Buffalo, NY to Lynden, WA... Ground. Says estimated delivery... 4 business days.

Good to see things cleared up... But that just shows people may want to steer away from that character.

 

It's always a crap shoot when dealing with people over the net. I find if you meet someone personally, the less chance they are of screwing you over.

 

Yea?
I got fucked harder by the dude I met up with to buy my LNF from than I ever have by someone shipping me parts.

 

Car is a different thing. Most times they're just trying to unload thir issue to someone else. The way people threat their vehicles nowadays, I'm inclined to buy new any time I buy a car now. At least I'd know what I am dealing with. Sucks about how you got screwed though

 

Same thing happens when buy a used phone got screwed a few times like that before in person, now I will only buy new ones

 

I sell used phones and other things, but only stuff that I would buy and at competitive deals. I don't screw people around because I know how it feels. The ones that get me are the ones who practically ask you to pay them for taking stuff off your hands even though your asking price is right in the ballpark with others.

 

Also got my pulley today we can close this up now. Seller was late on shipping out until we started a dispute and he quickly shipped to us. He had stuff going on thats understandable. Just remeber to communicate people it makes all the confusion easygoing. Thats all.

 

Still. Don't sell **** if you aren't willing to turn around in a timely manner. Glad this is solved.

 

Since this matter has been resolved I'm closing this.
