Title: Got my header panel and grill thanks FordTruckFreak
Post by: Carpimp1987 on October 26, 2008, 01:05:44 PM
Edit a little late but still cut him some slack pics soon.


He got money on the 8th and its the 26th and i still don't have a header panel and grill to fix my T-Bird.

I have lost my hope and motivation for getting the car fixed anytime soon.

i sent him $75 but i would either like $70 sent back to me or my header panel and grill for my 88 T-Bird. if i get either one of these soon i will change my mind and the whole negative thing.

Sent him a PM a few days back still have heard nothing and got nothing except 1+ point on my market place rating YAY.

No offense kid, but i think your overreacting. Yeah its been a couple of weeks, but didn't you also flip out when Vinnietbird didnt send you something right away? you ended up getting it didn't you? Not everyone can run right out to mail something, be patient.

Did you ever think that maybe he's been busy? 

As per his profile....

That would mean that if you sent him a PM, he hasn't read it.  You couldn't take the time to check that!?

Here's his profile page with AIM and e-mail contact info:
http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/member.php?u=103

Try all methods of contacting him --or anybody for that matter -- and have some patience before you blast away at that person.

I'm still waiting on a part from him as well.  Give it at least 30 days before you post something like this.  This isn't ebay, you can't expect IMMEDIATE shipping.

Nor should you on eBay, but sadly, people do. Used to be when you saw something advertised mail order you'd accept the fact that you will have to wait for your item. Thanks to eBay, people think that when they click "pay" their CD ROM tray will open and the item will pop right out of their computer. At the very least they think you're sitting in front of the computer with your car outside with the engine running, just waiting for them to buy so you can rush right to the post office and send the item overnight express (even though they paid $5 for basic ground shipping, or didn't pay for shipping at all).

The internet has made millions of mail order shoppers out of people who just shouldn't be mail order shoppers. You have your choice: Instant gratification, significant money savings, or finding something nobody else has for sale. You can't have all three.

Go back about 10 years ago I loved LEGOs and was always wanting new sets to build new things especially the Technic ones with motors and stuff (DUH lol) and I distinctly remember (and being dismayed but having no choice but to put up with it) "please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery" so yeah LOL

From someone that ships alot let me explain something.You know that it probably cost that much to ship a header panel,if not more.Plus he has to pack it up in away that it will get there in 1 piece,not easy to do.

I for one agree with Carpimp, he should have at least heard something(this assumes seller hasn't fallen into a hole)... Don't go selling parts if you're not going to ship them within a week, or at least state "I'll ship when I feel like it", so the buyer knows what to expect...
Title: Got my header panel and grill thanks FordTruckFreak
Post by: cougarcragar on October 28, 2008, 07:08:30 AM
I've bought a few things from him in the past and never had a problem. His prices were more than reasonable and the shipping was no problem.

I would assume something might have happened to him that is keeping him away from the Intarwebs.

seems odd of fordtruckfreak but imho, do we know for a fact fordtruckfreak has "aknowledged" the sale?    A market place feedback might seem to answer the question but thats a maybe.

atleast stay in touch with eachother once in a while. 

Im not one to talk though, ill sit around and totally forget about some little do hicky i ordered then it gets here and im like,, oh yeah,, i did order that.

Meh...food for thought.  I live in NY.  Vinnie lives in OK.  Whenever he has shipped me something -- always small items under 10 pounds -- through the USPS it has taken an average of 9 DAYS from when he shipped it.  Granted, Missouri and Texas are closer than NY & OK...

Perhaps, but with the contact info provided in FTF's profile greater attempts to contact FTF could have been made rather than just a PM to an account which has shown not to be accessed in over 10 days...

UPS lost all of sonic's checks and i got mine 1 day late normally get it 3-4 days before that.

checks are to be no later than the 7th and 22nd 1st time in over 3 years we got our checks on the 23rd to even think i may be a little mad at him is a joke but still for the fact he saided to ship FedEX will cost $25 and i get $50 for the part which is not much but FedEX costs money and he told me that before i sent him his Money. Sometimes i can order  off ebay and i have seen it show up that same week or start of the next so if its 1 person selling or a company selling even off Ebay i have never waited for .

If this goes on past 30days don't think i forgot about you send me $60 so i can buy fallout 3 for XBOX360 so i got something i can look at and get lost in my room and not give a  about anything also if i get this week $10 gift card at curcuit city that would almost feel like i got my money back or something of worth. Even if it does not fix my car i would not even make you pay for borrowing the money.

I want to get my car fixed so i can make me proud and every last one of you that it would look nice and be fixed again or i want something to take this off my mind.

You can't win on every deal i can afford to lose a few dollars but to lose $75 and waste my time trying to get prices on getting it fixed and go by peoples car body shops and waste their time to and to waste time for whoever the hell looked it this thread and post on it.

If you can't post some kind of timeline or at least PM something that says i was on my PC and i sent the package on the "Oregon trail wagon i would like to know" or i sent it UPS or FEDEX or DHL or on a Plane.

Post by: daminc on October 29, 2008, 07:47:32 AM
So, mabe his computer died. That seems to be a possibility, what with Microsoft putting there money into commercials that I don't understand, instead of fixing their OS.
Normally when we don't see someone around here, it's almost always computer related. And being someone that used to fix them, it usually takes about 10 days to 2 weeks to turn them around.

That's all I got.

I read that the first time.  My post about the 15th was in reference to this

As in MAYBE he never got your PM.
Have you tried his e-mail or any other method to contact him?

Today is a new day and my day off forget i will wait tilll the 8th of next month. If your PC is broke does that mean the post office is broke? i am just going to wait this out a little bit longer and try not to post anything for  a week or so on this thread right here.
Title: Got my header panel and grill thanks FordTruckFreak
Post by: Thunder Chicken on October 29, 2008, 02:34:46 PM
Maybe his leg is "broke"? Or his neck? Perhaps he's ill? Perhaps a family member is ill?

Believe it or not, life happens outside this forum. I find it hard to believe that with all the good transactions Beau has had that he'd decide to screw you over for $75. If he hasn't been online, and if he hasn't shipped your header panel yet, I'm sure he's got  good reason.

Spell or quit posting.

Since he hasn't been on, he hasn't go your PMs.  I would suggest taking a deep breath and giving him the benefit of the doubt for now.  I understand that it has been a while, but there may be something very wrong...you don't know and I don't know.  Chill out.

Carpimp,,
due to his being MIA,, your gonna feel real bad when he finally gets back on here........decides to post a very sad story,,, then trolls down to see a thread about this.

Why in the world do people do transactions with eachother and not have phone numbers.

I wont buy  off anyone unit I talk to them on the phone.  You got his number, he has your number, not reason to not stay in touch.  God forbid you decide to let a stinking computer be your primary path of communications.  You can thank technology for that and its not your fault.  Many people want to stay invisible by hiding behind a computer but if you exchange money,, better get digits.

Someone i know that has a nice 5.0 mustang was riding their street bike clipped a BMW at 100mph+ and hit the railing took 60-70 bags of blood and its still in a coma like 5 days later.

 Also i got a few more bad stories just for this week so life is not always great but i can't go MIA because someone will always bring up my name so Cars are a lifestyle and you can go missing for awhile but you gotta show back up sooner or later.

Seller expects pay in resonable time. Why should I as the buyer expect different. I had a similar issue but did not post negative. Seller took on new job and was unable to ship. Took over 2 months. Seller never contacted me to what was going on. These things are not right. If you sell be prepared to ship promtly upon reciept of payment.

You must have his name and address.
send a letter, someone will probably get it and respond if there's been a serious problem. include your phone # in the letter too.
And don't write a pissy letter, just in case. ;)

Post by: Beau on November 07, 2008, 03:10:30 PM
Ummm...I don't know where to begin, except that I was wrong in taking so long to ship the parts..they are out the door today.
I'll PM tracking numbers, as soon as I get back with them.

While I won't go into details, there was no blood, and guts kinda story, but I did have some personal issues, coupled with a new job, and some baby issues thrown at me as well, but that's sounding like an excues, which it isnt..i shoulda done what needed to be done when it needed doing, and for that i'm sorry.
I deserve the negative feedback for the delay when I've always been one to ship promptly..so...if it stays, i'll grin and go on.

Anyway...I've kinda missed you guys..and Carpimp, Amooset, I'll have your tracking numbers ASAP..so check your inboxes.

Again, sorry...this isnt the way to do business, and i'm ashamed at my lack of attention to the matter. it will NOT happen again, i promise.

LOL i say i am happy as soon as i get the box and the other guy that posted on here gets whatever he orders. The price is good and the only thing i could want more is a TC nose but i could not find one anywhere for okay price.

Even as everyone by now has a side to this i really don't care after he sends out the stuff and i will play Fallout 3 and gears of war 2 till it gets here.

Well i got it 34 days after he got the money but form the time he sent it only took maybe 4 or 5 days. As long as he gets you guys a tracking number and sends it right after payment he should be a okay guy to get a few small parts form.

At least i did not get a ticket for not having my lights on after i left the movies.....cops kept asking if i was drunk followed the pen with my eyes for like a min and got a nice warning. Only been pulled over 2 times and got no tickets and i will be 21 next month so not doing to bad. All this means is more money to fix the car i was worried for a few secs but not long.

Post by: Beau on November 13, 2008, 01:54:55 AM
Glad you got it, and sorry i took so (too ) long to get it out to you...

Don't play around with drinking and driving...yet another friend was buried yesterday for that. Left behind 4 kids.

Anyway...thanks for changing the feedback, but I feel as though I deserved the negative...show me pics when you get your car fixed and painted, etc. :D

Post by: Carpimp1987 on November 13, 2008, 02:05:27 AM
I was not drinking i just talk slow and i am not used to being pulled over. Left the movies and went down the road maybe 2 or 3 miles and the cop pulled me over he slowed down and i slowed down and he got behind my car and hit the lights after playing the follow the pen with eye game for about a min i was good to go.

Drinking is a waste of money and driving while drunk is just plain wrong but driving with your lights off is also not good.
