Eitehr you pay and i refund, or you pay and i send what you paid for. but in your case you think you recieved neitehr. Well wait a day or 2 and if you see an envelope in the mail from me with your refund then you'll know that I AM NOT A FLAKE and i do send refund/ parts to the buyers. but actionis speak louder than words so jsut wait and see if wha tim telling you follows through.

PS: my forums say " LOCAL PICKUP PREFERRED" and i provide a number for you to call, WHY WOULD I FLAKE?? kind of like setting myself up for trouble? but yeah im out.

I dont have the decoder ring.

Without this thread I'm sure he wasnt going to send either. After all my emails over the month and no response from him.

[paulward]

Two days go by and still nothing here.

[RedlineRacer]

nokeone, I love that bouncing nissan chick. I got distracted everytime I read you reply....either the chick distracted me, or because I am drunk.

[TheSparo]

now can you ppl PLEASE close t his fukken forum, it says WARNING do not buy from d0wn5h1ft. now is SPARO isnt enough toi tell you that im not a flake then ask Richard FEng, i sent him a bumper, how about hte other MISC ppl is ent parts too. hmm. well if anyone needs parts im still open for sales!

[Yoshi]

This thread seems rather negative, so I thought i should chime in and say that my transaction with Brandon was very fast, and flawless. A good experience in my book, and I think he's a conscientious seller... everyone screws up or overlooks something now and then, that's just how it goes... Sorry some of you had bad experiences, but mine was great, so FWIW, there u go.

[nokeone]

if you can find a Radiator Support you will be my best friend..lol..:)

Why didnt you send out the parts the second time you like you said you would?

[CoasTek240]

It takes 3 days USPS to send a standard size and weight letter from your zip code to mine.

You also said you shipped the parts and never did.

depends
what shipping rate? normal (letter) is like a week or more. sometimes less, depends on season and all.
priority is 2-3 days on average (holidays make it goofy)
you shoudl always protect yourself adn get tracking numbers.

[SilviaDriver]

it too Richard [xNotoriousGQx] a WEEK to send his 5zigen typhoons to me. hez from NYC and im from SJ,CA

i really reccomend to buy from Richard if he is ever selling anything and u want it. buy it!! good nice guy sends with tracking number. awsome-ness

You can request your local post master to check the amount of time from zip code to zip code.

all of these people use my sn to help me sell parts when i am not arround or able to get online, so maybe it was one of them that told you that "HE" sent your item>>?. I just came on my sn and i saw this forum talking about how badd of an experience you had with me and how i was a flake. WRONG PERSON, take it up with one of these people above, i sent your money back becase I DID NOT GET THE PARTS OFF, and mAYBE just MAYBE one of htem never mention or informed me that I WAS suppose to have sent the part. [email protected] is not my e-mail. [email protected] is my email, the one you refer to is LSD2WAYS14's e mail addy. sorry for the mix up man. but my point is that you got your refund. and by keeping this forum upen is really ****ing me the **** off, your screwwing up my sales. if you got a problem,go **** yourself because by the way you been actin gi dont want anything to do with you. KEEP MY ****IN NAME OUT YOUR MOUTH AND POSTS, AND FOR GOD'S SAKE CLOSE THIS DAMN FORUM.

[oberkill]

<sarcasm> Well I for one would love to buy from someone who posts curse laden posts. </sarcasm>

Seriously I think your attitude on handling this issue is going to lose you allot more buisness than the problem itself. There are always going to be the occasional issue and most customers understand that. How you handle that problem is what will win or lose you buisness.

[drift into a curb]

I'd like to see this thread stay open until the man gets his money back. I agree with oberkill. One other thing, d0wN5h1Ft, you should PM him instead if you're going to get all crazy.

[sLiDewAys]

its funny how people can judge things just by looking, really, im trying to sell parts off this car to get them out of my house and out of my way. i dont need you advice on how to sell things becase right about now i dont care. this guy paul made this forum to degrade my reputation. my rep for good sellor is smashed because of this bastard and now i gotta hear my pops bitch about how this shyt is alyyin arround his house? small advice to you last posters " stay out of other folks business" because the way i talk doesnt reflect the way i do business. i refunded his money. NOT A BIG DEAL, it was sent last week, the day before this forum was made, WHY YOU OTHER posters cam in here? well, when a forum says " warning" and sayyuin stuff about how not to buy from me. id advise you not to listen to it. so here is the scoop. I DONT FLAKE, why pauld does not have his money yet?? ASD UPS?/ i sent it. and when he gets the package he can look at the date it was sent. so PLEASE stop posting, as a matter of fact, just to settle this shyt. EVERYTHING 25% off. AND I WONT FLAKE, see for yourslef..

[paulward]

This morning Saturday June, 7th I received a letter via USPS from Brandon Ailbert post marked June 3, 2003 from San Jose Ca. Enclosed was a money order.

Still looks as if you wouldnt have did either without this thread.
