Ive always used USPS for smallish stuff and just the priority mail. Its usually cheaper then UPS and Fedex and arrives in the same time frame. If its bigger or a pretty high dollar item take it to UPS or Fedex and get freaking real tracking on it.

I know that now. I've just never had an issue with them in the past, so did not think twice about it.

As I said, I know how you feel, but I also know USPS will get it to you or will get it to myself. I am going to further investigate the issue monday before I send back the paypal but do not worry, I have not forgotten about you. I wish that kit was only half the price. I lost my tail end selling the kit but had no use for it. Had I known the post office was going to lack this much, I would have just driven across town and sent it via UPS. It saddens me to see that you feel I've not tried to return the PM's to you because I've been trying, but hopefully everyone can come out of this with at least a decent note.

You have been good a communicating with me thus far, I have been ripped on this board a couple times already and just cut my losses. The reason I said that I could get a kit for less was because your kit was the most expensive out of the ones I was looking at. They have to be able to tell you where it is??

I wish they could tell me where it is. Don't worry, I'm not about to rip anyone off. I've had one bad transaction on here in all the years I've been a seller, and that was due to a buyer who was very rude and would not except anything for an agreement. I'm grateful you've been this patient and so I'm trying my hardest to locate the kit or get you your money back so you can get on to the next kit. When it finally shows up I hope you will do your part as an upstanding citizen to put "return to sender" or let me know how much it costs you to ship it back. After this, I just want to use the kit on any future car I might have...... Or ship UPS who gives us a real tracking system.

just wait up, like other pointed out, parcel post is the slowest method, so wait up...4-6 weeks....

whenever i buy something i always discuss the shipping company i use or prefer cus then we wont have an issue that you didnt ask for a certain company or so...

i ask for UPS/DHL/FedEX cus my usps sucks where i live

and they cant tell him where its at cus there is no tracking #....

I did ask him about who he was going to use before he shipped it. That was because with ups or fed ex I would have got it within 5 days. I have already waited almost a whole month! I shipped a b&b cat back to Great Britain and it got there in 12 days. And yes, I bought from him strictly because of his feedback and that is why I didn't make my own thread bashing him! He has been the best seller I have dealt with to date on this forum.

He did in fact ask how I would be shipping it out. I normally (well, used to) ship exclusively with USPS after UPS seemed like it doubled in price one day a few years back. I am going to try speaking with USPS again monday and will PM you the results as soon as I get done with them.

After searching around I feel that he is an honest buyer and when the nitrous kit is received I will be notified, and either paid for it or told the amount to paypal him back for shipping (not using the post office) so I have issued a full refund.
