How Long Do You Wait For Shipping??

[vettetols]

im having a heck of a time finding a front bumper for my 04'. a member on the forum contacted me here saying he had one, we agreed on a price and then he says he lost it! how one looses a bumpercover i have no clue. anyway another member here pm's me saying he has one, again we agree on a price, i send the $$$ last week and was told it would be shipped monday. i pm'd him twice this week, both messages were read but not returned and i have no idea what gives. so, my question is how long do you wait?? i am new to this forum but have been a corvette forum member for several years and have seen alot of "interesting" things happen there lately (hence my screenname vettetols) thanks for your input

Tell us the members names.

sounds fishy, i once was ripped on eBay, actually the first time ever on eBay for myself, i got ripped off, but ya, tell the names and I'm sure people will look into them and their history on the forum

There are a number of things that can happen that will delay shipping. I'd give it 1 full week for a response. If he doesn't respond by then, then you should explore other avenues.

Hopefully it's just something where the guy was busy at work, and couldn't get the bumper out right away, or something simple like that. Doing business over the internet is stressful!

Oh I know, I just feel it would be helpful to verify credibility.

It all sounds strange to me. Not to get offended but he has a thread about parts for sale going for a while with barley any response but I will get back to you in a day or so ( not in those words but proves the point ).

camthman is the one who took my money last week, said he would send the cover out this past monday, read my pm's but didnt answer them

i dont remember the members name who "lost" the cover, thats no big deal other than the time factor---

He's usually pretty good around here, something must have come up. I would wait a little longer.

I 2nd that

Yep. I got my magnaflows/tips from him, and fbird18 got his wheels from him. He's legit.

I had actually talked with him about buying another members kitrous kit... hes a good guy. I'm sure he has even seen this. Sometimes stuff happens. I sold a pair of wheels and drag radials to a member on a different site and I havent been able to ship them yet with work, and family problems. I did however send him an email and let him know what was up. Give him a little bit of time. I'm sure he'll get what you want sent out.... he may even throw a little something in to compensate for your waiting.

He's probably busy trying to sell his LS

thanks for the feedback. at 57yrs old ive heard almost every reason a person has for not following through but what i dont understand is why he hasnt taken 20 seconds to return my messages. i see he was on here today-- i need the bumpercover dude, if there is some reason you cant send it out just LET ME KNOW OKAY!!!
