98 eK4 siR
extradition
egtyperbeeatch

the names listed above is who you have to watch out for because 98 ek4 siR seems to have multiple personalities using extradition n egtyperbeeatch. and they seem to share the same computer as well. and its weird when i've read some of the threads made by the other names they were being called mark as well.

Ok so heres the story:
Back in Aug 28, 2008 i purchased a ITR tranny from Mark, aka 98 eK4 siR
98+ ITR trans
downside: 3rd pop out @ low rpm, and 5th gear grindage @ high rpm
still has LSD

price was 670 shipped but then he said that he split the tranny apart and saw the broken bearing. he said he would replace it for me, all i would have to do is pay for the part. so i agreed to it. total came out to 700 shipped. item was paid for on aug 28, 2008.

so he has trouble finding a box to ship the item in so i suggested a plastic Tupperware. so he went out and bought one and said he packed it and took it to usps and they said they couldnt ship the item like that. so then he finds a box and puts it in there.

he shipped the item with ups. tracking number: 1zwv98964248005510

day i got the package, when i opened the package there was the box...a few crumpled newspapers and the plastic tub wrapped in duct tape with more little bits of newspaper here and there. oh yea. the plastic tub was cracked everywhere cause it was too small for the tranny. after i saw that i took the tranny out for inspection. looked and looked and it all looked pretty good until i found this:


this is the part where one of the shifter rods connects to the tranny. so i quickly took pictures and contacted Mark. he says that he put insurance on the tranny and that i should go and contact ups and file a claim. so i did. i contacted ups and they said that they will have one of their workers come the next day to pick it up and that i will have to contact the shipper for further information about hte claim because they cannot release any information to me after they have taken the tranny for the claim. so ok i agree with it and sure enough ups came by and picked up the tranny and left me a damage call tag.

so i told mark about whats going on and asked for his number.
with my past expierences with big companies i thought that they would lag the crap out of the claim so i gave it a few months. months passed and 2009 hit. nothing. so i decide to call mark..goes straight to voicemail..weird...so i try calling him different times of the day and different days but it all still goes to voicemail..after that i decide to contact ups. ups said that they shipped the tranny back to the shipper and to contact them. postal annex was the shipping company that mark used to ship the tranny. so i contacted postal annex and asked about the tranny. i get a rude person on the phone. i believe his name was stanley king. i asked about the tranny and he told me that the owner came and picked it up. wth? so i asked more questions but he was being a total ***** on the phone and hung up on me.

so i tried contacting mark on here and nothing. no responses. NOTHING..so i kind of put that in the back of my mind

so i start using a new forum "N W P4life.com" and was searching though the for sale section and came across the user "paper cha$e" looked through his thread and noticed his signature about some 92 enkies. went back on h-t and looked at 98 eK4 siR's sig and it was the same thing! I FOUND HIM! so i contact mark and he says that his friend was the one that sold me the tranny and was shipped with fedex or whatnot. later he says that the item was shipped and delivered. then turns into another person...saying that he and a friend shared the user name to sell parts. and the person who reponded with "my friend sold you the tranny" chimed in his thread and said he was there when mark shipped it..weird how he cant remember what company mark shipped the item with but was with him at the time..

i called mark out. saying that postal annex said that he came by and picked up the tranny. he said that i need proof that he picked up the tranny, i should have a signature to prove taht he came by for the package. i cant get any of that because ups wont release any information to me(the receiver) then he goes on about how its my fault that i gave the tranny to ups for the claim. that this is all my fault and not his problem. i gave him the phone number to postal annex (951) 924-3700 so he can call them and figure out why they say he came by to pick up the tranny when he said he doesnt have it. but nope, he doesnt want to cooperate and help his customer out. he just wants to blame everything on me.

and about the part that was "supposedly" damaged during shipment, i think it was already damaged be fore it was shipped. because of the fracture and where the part was located. it sits a step lower than the housing. you insured the item because you knew the itme was damaged already, and you packed the tranny in hope taht it would get damaged during shipment.


ALL I WANT IS MY MONEY BACK OR THE TRANSMISSION. thats all i ask. i dont understand your types of people. coming into a forum and stealing from others like me that work hard for their money

 

I feel for you man, I just went through the same exact thing with another member who was doing business through a friend to help him out.

Fortunately the situation was resolved and I cleared the name of one but the other bastard (check my sig) didnt want anything to do with the situation. Scumbag

I hope your situation gets accordingly dealt with. Best of luck bro

Fuck scammers!!!

 

wat a scumbag...this is why i would never buy a motor or tranny and have it shipped..it never works out from wat i can see..i hope u get ur money back
