why am I always stuck dealing with...

makenzie71 · May 09, 2006, 04:23:32 PM

...assholes? They're EVERYWHERE anymore! I can't get away with not dealing with them! Through ebay and my various forums I complete about 20 transactions per week. Most of them are ice pleasant ones with both of us nicely satisfied...but there's at least one or two pricks a week...

Right now I'm dealing with some guy over on rx7club.com who bought a fender from me. One thing I'll admit that I have a problem with is getting things shipping out in a timely manner. Some things I get our right away, some things I get out within 2 weeks...usually no longer than that unless it's a custom part or something that I have to find time to make. Anyway, this guy paid me while I was on a weekend and wouldn't be back for another 2 or 3 days. After I got back I had last weeks prioraties to deal with first...but he said he needed the fender ASAP! So I push a couple other things off, grab the fender off the top of my pile, wrap it and make a mad dash to catch the UPS ground driver before he left town and I got it to him in just a couple days.

Some of this is my fault. I was in a rush so I didn't propperly inspect the fender nor did I box it propperly. Because of this I missed a slight "bow" in the fender likely from som manhandling on the part of UPS and some pin-holes (which I'm still not sure where they'd have come from).

Quote from: elnotsI just got the fender today. I applaud you on you extremly fast shipping! I can honestly say that from the time I asked for shipping to recieving my items, your time was the fastest! Thank you.

However, we have a problem. The fender I recieved from you is not as described. It is dented and flattened in many areas and is missing a piece of the moulding, which I need and assumed came with the fender. I don't know if most of the damage I'm seeing was caused by poor packaging, poor handling, or previously unmentioned damage.

The missing trim is an upset, but the dents are what upset me most.

I'll take pics as soon as I can get my friends digital camera tonight. I hope we can figure something out because you seem like a very helpful and punctual person. Thank you.

To which I replied:

Quote from: Makenzie71Yes we'll get something worked out. Any damage is likely a result of the packaging...I was in rather a rush to catch the UPS guy that afternoon so bound her up simply and quickly as I could. I did insure it, however, so if the piece is beyond reconciliation, something can be arranged.

As far as the moulding, I was unaware that you needed it. Had I more time I would have pulled the front moulding, actually. I'll dig through the parts bins and see if I can find a rear piece for you.

If you can get me some pictures we'll figure out this evening whether an attempt at repair could be made or if I need to scavenge another fender. You can email the pics to makenzie71@gmail.com

Thanks Landon!

Today I get this:

Quote from: elnotsI ended up running out of time to take pictures of it so I brought the fender with me to maaco, they said they could work with it and only charge me 40 additional bucks to get it to work with my car.

But there where four small holes on it under the moulding like it had a body kit on it, dents on the wheel well, and the back part was missing a moulding and flattened out while the front part of the fender was slightly bowed out and didn't match up with the back side.

All in all with the holes an missing moulding which were obviously previously existent before you shipped it, I think I did not get what I paid for.

I wish I had time to point this out to you but I don't have anything other than posting negative feedback for you in the good/bad guy section.

If you'll refund at least part of the price then I'll just drop it but dents aside, you should have told me about the moulding and holes in the fender.

-Landon

I assured him that we'll even it out and he resorts to threats? WTF? Even has the nerve to complain about parts he didn't recieve, after I told him I'd hook him up DESPITE the fact he did not pay for them...

My last reply to him was that I'd forget ever having recieved that message and let him come back with an appropriate attitude. Pisses me off because the duck head was going to get a clean fender one way or another OR he was going to get a full refund and he had the guall to Buddha Loves You...

You're all a bunch of assholes, too...assholes...

....keep firing, assholes!

I feel better now.

Looks like someone needs another hug!

makenzie71 · May 09, 2006, 04:55:15 PM

I don't do hugs.

RVertigo · May 09, 2006, 05:38:44 PM

Maybe that's why you're so angry.

makenzie71 · May 09, 2006, 05:46:07 PM

It might very well be. I should take this up my my girl...she doesn't hug very often. This could possible be all her fault...

Wish I had a dollar every time someone said that to me. Or I'm not ghey, but willing to learn, or I'm married to the sea.

Im bumping this only for the sheer fact I just now found it.

Your fender is in my garage, Collecting dust... You can have it back.

Stop being a whiney Buddha Loves You and throwing Landons name around a message board.....Hell, If I could find your address, I would ship that damn thing back just to get it out of the garage.

bwahahahahahaha what a twit. I don't know what kind of bs your boy is feeding you but he was supposed to send the damn thing back to me for a full refund. Not sure how willing I am anymore, though, considering he's got some ditzy moron trying to down my good name.

annguyen1981 · August 28, 2006, 08:51:16 PM

Besides... That was almost 4 months ago. Why should you give a refund?!?!? It's been WAAAAY too long for that IMO.

My girl's not much of a "cage" person...she's more of a long-distance communicator:

annguyen1981 · August 28, 2006, 09:37:05 PM
