I payed for a Blitz turbo timer that he was selling and never received it. He tells me he sent it out, but has no tracking number etc. I never got what I paid for and he tells me that I'm lucked out because its not his fault if USPS losted the package. Plus he tells me that I should put in a claim to USPS when he's the one that sent me the package.

I just want my money back because I've wasted to much time waiting for something that I never received.

"BAD GUY TO DEAL WITH"

 

how long was the time that he shipped it and now?

 

Its been at least 3-4 weeks now.

 

well from my experience, sometimes usps is slow. but hope you resolve it.

 

I order other parts from other people around the same time and they are all here already. I don't even know if he sent it out or not, although he said he did.

 

Couple of factoids here:
-I sent out 3 other packages that day, they were all received by honda tech members.
-I have been working with the buyer to try to find where the package is, an with usps to see if it has been lost.
-I did not get a tracking number with the package, simply because its an extra 1.50 and buyer didnt pay for it.
-I have put in a claim for the buyer through usps to get his money back for a lost item.

Read my vouch thread, i have been dealing on Hondatech for 4 years, never once a hiccup for items much much much more value than a stupid turbo timer. I have over 100 transactions, 50 are vouched for. Dont try to bash my name because shipping fucked us over. Any concerns PM me.

 

that's fishy to ship out without any tracking # and blame UPS

 

I bought a full set of GSR seats from this guy awhile ago and had no problems, I am willing to bet UPS lost your package

 

Ask him if he has a reciept? sometime you can enter the reciept number in the track and confirm section on http://www.usps.com and it will tell if a item was actually shpped

 

Right off my bank statement :

08/25/2006
Withdrawal CKCD DEBIT
08/24 USPS 4134870033
HERSHEY PA
$19.45 (2 other items shipped)

 

USPS has often been unreliable for me, sometimes it has taken weeks for them to deliver stuff that I sent priority. They make no guarantees.
But delivery confirmation is only like 55-cents or something on a Priority mail package, even if it comes out of my pocket I do it for my own protection to avoid situations like this from happening. Especially with PayPal payments, if you have tracking info you will likely prevent any judgements against you.

 

dont UPS have free tracking #? Everytime i send something out from UPS they give me a tracking # and never have a problem with them for the last 5 years i been selling things online

 

I send everything Priority and get Delivery conformation

 

USPS = not free
UPS = free, but not how i shipped.

well that sucks cuz ur the seller and he's *** out if it was the other way around u would be complaining too...If u care about your reputation then you should clear this up just my 2 cents

 

Im obviously trying to clear it up. Ive filed with usps, and have made more than one stop to the PO to see what the deal was.

 

USPS you have to pay extra for a tracking number and extra for insurance. The insurance is VERY inexpensive and it is the sellers fault if he didn't buy insurance EVEN if the buyer didn't pay for it. It always helps the seller to pay for insurance--now instead of being out the 50 cents you will be out the price of the product.

 

On the other side of the coin, there's no protection for the seller either. If a buyer knows there is no way for the seller to confirm delivery they can just claim it never showed up and demand a refund even if they in fact did receive it. I buy the insurance to cover myself as much as the buyer.

 

it seems as swags is doin everything possible to find out what happened, I don't think these threads should be started unless its the last possible option..(IE) the seller won't reply to you at all

 

lol on not paying 50 cents for delivery confirmation...

 

I never buy insurance unless buyer requests it. However delivery conformation is a must no matter what

 

actually i bought an intercooler, intercooler piping, hks ssqv, and fittings mint condition for 800 shipped off him. it showed and was perfect.. cant say i had a problem with swags, i bet usps lost it. my friend sent shoes thru usps not too long ago and they lost it. my bet is usps fooked up

 

and it is the seller's responsibility not the buyer...i bet he paid like 5-10 bucks to have it shipped...insurance should have been put on; i cant imagine initial shipping costing more than $3.95 for priority since it's probably under 1 lb...

true, but usually when i ship if its a item thats worth under a 100 bucks, which the turbo timer is prolly 50 bucks, i wouldnt have put insurance on. But i could see where your coming from too.
