I paid Dec 4th 2009 for a block/crank and later emailed him a shipping label so all that needs done is packaged and dropped off.
I can post the rest of the story if needed but I really just want my shit.
I gave plenty of time and am usally one for bashing the guy starting a slander thread, but this is fucking rediculous and I see him buying other turbos and starting threads off with 'I had the entire day to myself' its starting to piss me off.
Maybe a little leaning on will get him to save face.
-
hes a good guy, you'll get your shit, albeit it may be covered in fecal matter
-
It's only been two months!!1
-
he seems lazy to me. im sure you will get your shit, but might be a while. i let him borrow a chip burner a couple months ago, and im still waiting to get it back. luckily i have another

He just posted today.
Do a charge back or beat his face in. I don't know what else to tell you.

2 months is unacceptable to ship something. A block is a little more work but a trip down to uhual for a 5 dollar sturdy box and the post office to jack free packing supplies and in about the time to drive around,pack it,ship it you might have 2-3 hours into the job
This needs to be addressed asap 2 months is fuckin bullshit!!!!

Agreed when I ordered a hg and some other thing from I waited almost a full month.
I had to remind him 3 or 4 times before I received all my shit.
But I did get what I ordered so it all worked out. ;D
-
I had a similar experince but again shipping a block actually is work so we need to make sure he gets this out by friday
Thats plenty of time to make it happen
Here is shipping tips
get box from uhual
take all the free usps packing stuff you need from the post office
harbor freight sells rolls of tape for a buck
-
+1 on uhaul boxes
-
+1 on uhaul boxes
Or if you work at a place that has bin of used box in the shipping and receiving area is even better.
-
Thats an obvious answer if your staring at boxes at work but uhual large box with a little extra packing help from usps flat rate boxes has shipped ungodly amounts of blocks,transmissions and they do the job. They are cheap too.
-
I think I've had more usps shipping envelopes from the couple things I bought from chris m then my local post office stocks, def good packing fluff.
And he only has had the shipping label for a month, he pissed around getting me dimensions and then never got me a weight so I had to weight my own shit to print him a label.
Still a month is long enough to box and drop it off.

Send Tim's shit, nagger.
it was refunded.. the crank has some discolored lines where the rod bearings were, and even though I tried to get it packed up and ready to ship, it just never worked out due to priorities taking up my time ie. work, forced and unexpected moving, caring for my newborn child, college, driving my wife to and from work, supporting a family, etc.. I was pretty much giving it to him any way ($45). If you faggots have a problem with me refunding Tim instead of shipping an LS block for $45, then don't buy my uber cheap deals and shut the fuck up. Everyone has at least one bad transaction, this was mine.
-
Did you pay for the shipping already?

Most of you guys already know I'm not here trying to scam or get one over on someone.. Like Chris said, it's a PITA to ship a block when you have A.) never done it B.) don't have supplies and C.) don't have enough time to even take care of the more important things in life, much less shipping.
I refunded Tim his $45
If he wants the block for free, i'll leave the block outside of the garage I left it at, and whoever comes to get it can take it and send it to the guy.. I don't care
he seems lazy to me. im sure you will get your shit, but might be a while. i let him borrow a chip burner a couple months ago, and im still waiting to get it back. luckily i have another
I don't live in St. Augustine any more.. PM me your address and i'll send your willem burner and a gift card for some booze!
-

no, he wanted me to take it to UPS after it was boxed and it was to be charged to his business, or something like that.
-
he was quick to paypal me for the holset.
he did pm me 20x a day asking for tracking though. lol

Marc has never done me wrong, shit i've done him more wrong than he's ever done me, which i WILL make up once i have the chance. Im sure Marc is inthe right and Tim is really uncle pete in disguise

One thing I learned selling on fleabay is to make damned sure your shit is packaged up BEFORE you put the auction up. Even when I'm busy, it's all of 10 minutes to label & unload it when I go somewhere.
This also helps some people along, don't send money until you see it packaged up. Lately people have abused my child-like trust, but thankfully they've ended up with a real big proverbial stick up thier asses.
BTW Credit card-only via paypal, itemized note in paypal (each part, each screw!, is listed & priced), text communication saved/archived, and Regulation Z > any scammer in North America. Not that I'm calling Mark a scammer, just sayin. Nothing a scammer in the USA can do if you do the above, unless you wait over 6 months.
BTW2 Mark, use something like light scotchbrite pads to remove that buildup on the wheels.

if i could find each person who's every procastinated or done me wrong when buying something id kill each and everyone of them just to get the last laugh. i dont understand why people put shit for sale but dont have the time or energy or the means to ship it in a reasonable time. shouldnt take over a week to ship something. give it a week to get to your house. so two weeks top is gving the shipper the benifit of the doubt.(in a perfect world) id love to jam a pipe bomb down someones throat and poor gas over them before i ignite the bomb. at least let the buyer know if something comes up and give him the option to send his money back.(within the week, any longer then that your just leeding them on) there should be a serial killer that targets shipping barons...
-
I think there needs to be a serial killer that's sole goal is to clean the gene pool from morons. Shipping barons included

That job would require lots of overtime. I doubt any employer would fund such a thing in this recession. Jew

Marc's a good guy who sells shit for ten cents on the dollar, and if he takes a week I never worry about it. I'm not surprised he got himself in a shipping dilemma with a special handle item, but I'm also not surprised he refunded the money promptly once he realised it was a situation. Best of intents, shitty transaction..

I have nothing to contribute to this thread.

I was going to check if I actually got refunded this morning and delete this thread if I was, but I'll leave it up a while to be a dick for a few reasons.
1).....the crank has some discolored lines where the rod bearings were.....
I don't remember ever hearing of this when I asked if the crank was mint as it was the whole reason I bought this. I either have to canabilize a good engine for a crank or pay $120 to have one cut.
2) I got a payment of 43.39 yesterday not a refund. I got a shitty interest rate on a short term loan
3) I don't give a shit how cheap a deal is if you're gonna sell something ship it. I'm tired of people using that excuse, I have a shitload of parts but I flat out tell people if it's not on my back porch the odds of me getting it out of storage is slim to none and don't sell it. You told me you were going to sell it for 30 to a local and I offered 150% of that for you to throw it in a box and drop it off at UPS. Shit I even told you you could call UPS and have them pick it up, it wouldn't cost you any extra it would show up on my account.
Anyway the thread served its purpose, thanks.

Exactly what I thought and why I gave him a good month before I started to harrass him. Then I kept getting barron promises of extras in the box going out friday, then monday, then a promise of a refund etc. He didn't make it right when he learned about it being an issue, he made it right when I threw a public thread up.
Anyway it's only a couple bucks but it still is the principle.

IIRC paypal will only return transaction fees w/in 60 days. After that, they charge you the regular fees on your "refund". FYI a chargeback is the opposite, you get paypal fees back PLUS intrest. After 3 months I got $2.83 on top of a full $100 refund.

exactly.. I didn't HAVE to refund Tim.. I didn't even have that option in paypal, so I just sent him what he sent me. I got charged for the money received too. Sorry Tim.. I really didn't expect it to go this way and you know that. I support this community as much as I can with uber cheap deals

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this. CC is the only way to pay with Paypal

I don't even mind bumping this thread myself, because it seems Tim is the only one being shitty, and i've apologized for not being about to ship out a block, i've never done it before hence I was asking you if I could just ship it in a duct taped rubbermaid bin with the label.
oh well, what is done is done. I've got a small H1C, which looks more like a 16g with a 12cm^2 exhaust housing, and a minty Hy35 shown on the 1st page of this thread.. i'm thinking the Hy35 is going to be a very efficient considering my displacement all the way up to 400whp as per blunders advice (is blunder still working with moates? gods among men).
9cm^2 exhaust with hx35 wheels on a weirtech log on this revision. I might pick up some torque in the lower rpm compared to the "mini-ram" sink trap HX35 setup I just took apart (and sold). considering it's a daily driver, it seems I should spool a lot quicker now.
I might have a 300zx VG3000 turbo wanting to race for money, and he's still running stock TT T25s. He wants to go from a 30 mph roll too.. it's too easy

I don't see where you're getting that notion from. He's dissappointed, but not angry, and understandably so.
(is blunder still working with moates?
Yup, he's doing a huge all-encompassing tuning/tech writeup for Moatsie, actually:

ok, I admit he's not being "shitty" per se. I take that back, sorry tim :)

I bought a turbo from marcj. it smoked like a train. never got any money back.
you better hope I dont see you at the street races dude, or ill cut you.
I will race you for it though. If you win, we are even. if I win, I get my money back. meet me at Sonic this saturday.
This is a 100% fabrication of lies. This dude seems legit. 2 legit. 2 legit to quit in fact.

Its cool man shit happens and I'm over it.

For shipping a Block
Uhaul Box + that pink Styrofoam insulation. Cut it up and line the box with it.. round trip is under $10 and it keeps everything nice

Its only $10 to ship a block?
-
If he wanted it that bad could have just took it to UPS and told them to box it up. $45 seems cheap to ship a block. Last time I shipped a Z6 block UPS charged me $80.

speaking of, once I get this HY35 on we should get together and go out to Pritchard rd. and run the cars.. my buddy just finished his 300zx with a twin turbo swap.. he says i'm underestimating his car and wants to run them, lolz. I don't think he's even willing to keep the bet now that I laughed at his stock T25 turbos.
