ozzimark Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 9 days isn't that long to ship wheels IMO, granted a seller should be upfront about it taking that long. Hope this gets resolved for all parties It's not unreasonable at all, and he was upfront about it, which is why I posted that I did get the wheels with minimal drama. However, I follow this mentality when selling things: I just think the generally rule of thumb should be have a box and/or be ready to ship your stuff before you post it for sale and take someones money. When someone pays me for something, it is out the door the next time the post office is open. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s60wot Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I would advise that all buyers file paypal claims immediately to avoid getting screwed over, in case he refuses to resolve this. I'm screwed since I sent the money as a gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is a tight knit community, but unfortunately we have to deal with people like this no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Betty Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I just think the generally rule of thumb should be have a box and/or be ready to ship your stuff before you post it for sale and take someones money. had that happen once with a set of wheels. and the "buyer" had me remove the tires and never sent money. So after being burned 100 ill pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiRaff3 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 This is a shame. I sold a set of wheels to Dustin off of SS a while back. He paid the asking price and all was well. I tried to get centers bored out to fit his 850, so it took some time before I could ship them. My hookup for getting the machine work done for free fell through, so I planned on shipping them out. He told me he lost his job and asked for a refund so he would not have to sell his car. I felt bad, since he was a straight shooter the whole time, and refunded his cash, no biggie really. He put the car up for sale soon after... The situation seemed weird, but he paid and seemed to come under "tough times." Jeff, I tried calling you 2x and texted you, get back to me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilled man Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I have those wheels As seriously just be upfront if you take forever to ship stuff. I am figure you buy something its going to take 2 weeks for me to ship it . Not because I am lazy , just flat out forget who what where when most times. And if I take to long and you want a refund no biggy. Why that is so hard to figure out is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiRaff3 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 FYI, as I first suspected, Dustin is having some tough times right now. His roommate, David (S70-T5m) contacted me and we discussed everything. So, David is going to try and help Dustin out and get all of the items where they need to be. YES, it sucks that Dustin accepted money for things and did not ship them. Life can throw us a curve-ball sometimes, and it can be tough to keep everyone happy. Everyone please stay patient and maybe we can salvage the situation and a little bit of someones reputation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greekone Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 If you say so I've been PM'd by "303jrodt5". He has worked on Dustin's car(s) and has confirmed that Dustin and "S70-T5m" are the same person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s60wot Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Update: I started this post on 1/30, it was 14 days after I paid for a set of IPD door pins. I received the door pins last Thursday, March 25th. I guess USPS from Colorado to Orlando is pretty slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
