i can tell by looking at the picture you didnt pack it well..i deliver hundreds of boxes every day. it doesnt matter if its over a $5 part or a $400 dollar part you should fix the problem. we are all saying the same thing because it is what should be done, your the only one on here saying something diffrent becuase you dont want to take responsibility as you the "seller" should.

well we are reminding you yet again to send the part, you cant possibly forget now lol

ive sent out numerous parts to people on here as well as on ebay and have yet to have one broken. however if i did i would have fixed the problem 48 posts ago unlike yourself.

Southbay fuel injectors sent me my fuel rail and injectors back to me, well packaged in bubble wrap. yet somehow the FPR was damaged in shipping. now thats not their fault. however they sent me a new part the next day and paid shipping. thats how you do it

 

Well, here is what I can do:

If I can't find the extra one I had laying around, I will send what he thinks the broken part is worth, or what it will cost to replace said part through paypal.

 

lol you know what he wanted refunded its listed at least 5 times in this thread alone

"send the part or refund $10 dollars to his pay pal"

 

lol coming from a fed ex driver, there is a bit of tossing. which is totally diffrent than slamming or throwing them. if your box cant handle a slight toss or a fall off the top shelf of our truck it doesnt have a chance to survive the whole trip thats just the truth of it.

i deliver to a GMC dealer and to be honest most of the stuff shipped to them is poorly packaged as well. thin cardboard and nothing inside them. your just taking a chance if you want to skimp on the packaging. bubble wrap and newspaper is not that expensive.

 

That was then, this is now. Maybe the deal he had to get that part has been passed up and it would cost more to get, now. No need for comments like that.

 

Nathan's house is a two hour trip, so $10 would be close to a fair amount for my time and gas. I'll be glad to post the resolution to this little drama when it's complete

thanks

 

PM me your paypal.

 

just did

 

Money sent.

Sent $11 because paypal takes 3%

 

case closed... thanks to everybody who posted on this thread for your support in getting this resolved.

 

finally...just think man if you had done that months ago it woudlve never had to come to all this, remember that next time, cut your loses and do whats right. only takes a few times on the internet to get a bad rep

 

Please close this thread... its already resolved.

 

now that all of that is resolved, I can post this...

I put the part on my car months ago olny because I figured out a way to patch it back together like a jigsaw puzzle. I bent a piece of steel into a semi circle, and glued it to the inside of the collar. I then used that as a foundatation to attach all the broken pieces to. sanded it down smooth, and then used some spray on bedliner to give it some texture. I was actually happy with how it turned out, but i'll retire my patch job the next time I have the steering wheel off

Speaking of which I would like to publically thank Thirdgen ranch for sending me a replacement part free of charge. they followed this saga, and were so disgusted with bradley's actions, they wanted to help. I wouldn't let them send it to me at first, but later I made a purchase from them, and they threw it in the box anyway.

take notes... that's called a seller going above and beyond the call... way to go guys.

 

haha two thumbs up to you sir and thirdgen ranch, cant wait for the next thirdgen fest as well

 

I wanted to post thanks to them earlier, but I didn't want to let bradley off the hook. the supplies I bought to fix the first one (epoxy, bedliner, ect) did cost me money, so I still felt like he owed me a partial refund

 

i think the only time they close threads in this forum is when there are MULTIPLE threads about the same seller (like cam91rs1)

If they close this one, it just means a new thread would get started the next time (if there is a next time) somebody has an issue with bradley

 

I never had one to send, I thought I did, but couldn't find it. When it went so long without any word from you, I SAID I FORGOT, which is not an excuse by any means, but its the truth. You got $ for what YOU deemed it was worth, so thats the end of it.

This statement is uncalled for. There will never be a next time, and there should not have been a "this time". I am sorry that it took so long to reach a resolution, but something like this won't happen again.

 

Thank you. But, I don't think it will get closed, just let it die.

 

well I did say "if" there is a next time....and you're right, there never should have been a "this time" I think I suggested the $10 resolution in my very first PM to you.

see ya round bradley

 

I have seen it all. I really depends on what kind of mood the delivery driver is in. The lady that delivered for UPS was a real B!CH. Them packages allways hit the floor hard. Now the Fed EX guy was cool. He never tossed or threw anything.

 

I always fold my box flaps and shake the hell out of it. If my item moves around, i know it needs more bubble, or wadding, or whatever. Hell...newspapers are cheap, use those.

 

haha everyone has a bad day, i cant say i havent drop kicked a package or two in my day but we all do our best not to damage anything

lol if only everyone was as smart as you, it would make my life much easier and i wouldnt have to hear people biotch about things that arent my fault lol

 

he's at it again. i figured just a pair of bumper grilles would be ok for him to ship but it's been almost a month on something he claims shipped parcel post. now accusing me of recieving the grilles and now trying to get a refund from paypal. which i put a claim in with paypal after he gave me a song and dance over not having money or a job to refund the money then getting all pissy over me protecting myself and starting the claim. so i'm here now following through on what i told him if he bothered to pm me again. just adding to the list of him not being a good seller/shipper. also he doesn't have a tracking or conformation number to give me just that he has a reciept from usps that he shipped something??? somewhere??? i guess some postman needed a pair of 84 z28 bumper grilles more then i did. and to bradley23150 you can bring your bs here now for all to see again. i'll just let everyone else reply as i'm done with you and will have my money back shorty from paypal.

 

you would think any seller would at least put delivery comfirmation on every package, just to protect himself

Can he at least provide a reciept that he shipped them?

 

he just tells me he has a reciept from the day he shipped 3 packages??? which 3 i don't know. on usps reciepts they would list each package shipping style(parcel, media, priority,etc.) per package with a confirmation number for each if purchased and also if insurance was purchased with value. but all he could tell was he had no confirmation number just the reciept for shipping 3 packages on jan. 7th @ 2:33 p.m. my package should have been shipping from florida to pennsylvania parcel post which should have been here no later then jan 21st if it took the full 9 business days a parcel post package could take with one holiday. what he doesn't know is i have family in tampa bay, fl who ship me stuff a lot parcel post an usually only takes 4-5 business days to get here.

think third gen should just ban this guy and get rid of him and others like him.

 

The person in question has only 1 negative feedback, which was by 58Mark who posted this thread. Apparently, the issue was resolved between the two and case was closed.

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/itrader.php?u=70457

I don't think there is enough grounds to ban someone who took care of (even if not in a timely matter) a bad transaction and does not appear to have (to my knowledge) any other outstanding issues.

bradley23150, do you have evidence that the item was shipped to lilhack69? If so, please provide it.

 

There was only one 'bad' transaction, and yes I will admit it took far too long to resolve. I laid all my cards on the table with this guy and he doesnt understand. I will post our PM's back and forth to prove I am trying to do everything I can, and it isnt good enough for him. He is ready to say ban me over forty dollars, that I am CLEARLY not trying to swindle him over, and I shipped the box its not my fault USPS dropped the ball. Take no mention of the MANY transactions that have been 100% perfect, just focus on ONE bad one and now I am the worst person in the world, when I AM NOT AT FAULT. I told you I had $14 in paypal, and what you would like me to do to try and resolve this so it doesn't end up with you not having parts that you rightfully deserve, and you had no response, just to file a claim with me. I was trying to sell more parts to refund money that I didnt even feel I owe you, but I do not want anyone not recieving parts that they payed for, and made $20 today, and only needed $5 more to fully refund you but you went about it like this... Putting my good name on the chopping block for no reason, and even putting my paypal reputation on the line over NOTHING. I am going to call paypal tomorrow and see what I can do, as I am trying to transfer the other $5 over and it says it'll take 3-5 days which is too long.

 

post them all up with the all the dates

 

I'll stay out of this, but just a reminder... if he does have the reciept, it will have the zip code that he sent the stuff to on it

 

If the item was lost with USPS, then you should file a claim with USPS and that is between you and USPS. However, the receiver/buyer should be taken care of and sort of is owed product or refund.

 

Yes mark it does, and I do.

Your also right about getting delivery confirmation to protect the seller as well, I will get it from now on 100% of the time no matter the value.

I'm actually glad to hear that Bradley. Despite our differences in the past, I'm not rooting for you to fail, and I hope all of this clears up quickly and cleanly

 

I didnt get the times, but I am sure you'd be happy to fill em in for me...


Good job, you got me but its the first and only time you'll fool me. Enjoy your parts and your refund, you taught me to always get delivery confirmation to prove that you recieved your parts, so I dont have to give parts away and ship them at my expense as well.

 

he can try but i don't think he'll get too far without a conformation number or an insurance number. as this happened to me about 4 years ago shipping a gift to family in california. post office counter person told me the zip code narrows us down to about 70,000 packages no other usps numbers no luck.

 

like i wrote before i didn't get them and 40.00 isn't going to brake me. it's just the point. i spend more money then that on toys for my kids every week.

 

Say what you want, its your word against mine.

$40 may not be alot to you, but it is to me. Congratulations.

 

Another reason why I don't feel comfortable buying anything from anyone off of a site where people can individually sell items.

 

I did nothing wrong, I sent his package in a timely manner, and he claims it didnt show up. Nothing more I can do, and its my fault for not getting delivery confirmation to protect myself.

Lesson Learned.

 

when i ship i always get tracking number and take picture of package with all post office shipping labels at the post office. overkill but kinda hard to argue with a pic like that.

i would not not buy anything from you and im sure a lot of other people would feel the same way.

 

Most everyone in life deserves a 2nd chance. And with confirmation/insurance/pictures/whatever in the future, I'd be willing.

**** happens & maybe that is what happened here.

 

The only thing that happened here was the seller got ripped off, and people are still pointing their fingers at the seller like its my fault that USPS lost their package. I dropped off 3 packages that day, and that one is the only one that "didn't" show up. He has his parts and my money, he pulled one over on me, and it will not happen again.

End of story.

 

What I just read in the first post, is that the buyer bought a part & it arrived broken. So the buyer did get it, just not a good part.

And that points to only 3 options.....
1. Seller sold a broken part
2. Seller packaged it badly to protect it
3. UPS/USPS damaged it, but that would be evident by box damage.

I'm not going to read through 5 pages but after reading in the 1st post....."didn't pack it well at all, and the plastic collar behind the wheel was busted all to hell. The wheel bounced around inside a box with just some pages from a catalog for packing... not even wadded pages, just laying flat in the bottom of the box.", that points the #2 listed above. Flat pages for packing, not even wadded or bubble wrap (even better)? Sorry, but that is ****-poor packing.

 

I was talking about the other claim someone posted in here. This thread isnt even 2 full pages, certainly not 5.

Post # 73 and down.

Both of which have been resolved.

 

I am glad that is resolved, but it is the responsibility of the seller to purchase insurance. If you ship through Fedex, it is covered up to $100 free. Insurance is like $2-$3 through USPS. Its worth it. Who cares if the buyer does not pay for it.

 

If your going to comment read the whole post oh: you would think with over 10,000 posts you would

Despite what some people think only about 10% of people actualy know the correct ways to buy, sell, and ship stuff online. Bradley is learning and I don't beleive he intentionally did anything wrong on either claim. Live and learn... I would buy from him now more than I wouldve before
