A little over a month ago I came across a posting for parts for sale. I was looking for inner fender wells, an hvac box, bumper shocks, and under steering column vent for an 86-87 turbo car. I found parts for sale from TTAowner in CT. I sent him a text message about the parts I was looking for. After several texts, I called him. He was a nice guy that knew his stuff. He told me what he had and how much he wanted for the parts. I agreed on the prices that he was asking for them. He told me that he would check on the shipping and get back with me on a total amount. It might have been several days when he called me back with a total of $540. He told me to get a money order for payment if the parts. I was told that he would have the parts boxed and ready to go and would be shipped when he received the money order. That was July 28, 2012. On July 30, I texted him to let him know that it was on its way and should be at his house at any time. On August 4, I texted James to see if the money order came yet. He said he received it and was waiting for it to clear. He told me that he would check the bank on August 6 to see if it cleared and if it did, he would give me a tracking number for my parts I ordered. August 8 I texted him again to get a tracking number with no response back. Several days had past with no response from James. I called money gram to check the status on the money order and the automated service said the money was cashed on July 31, 2012. I sent James a private message on the forum with no response. On August 16, I sent him another message with no response. On August 19, I called James and he answered his phone. He was polite and said he got behind on bills and could ship the parts yet. I asked if I would be seeing a tracking by the beginning g of that week and he said yeah. Once again, nothing. I sent him another private message on August 23 asking him if he had forgot to ship my parts. Once again, no response. On August 25, I sent him another private message asking for a return of my $540 I paid for parts or a tracking number for my parts that he promised to ship. Here it is, August 31, 2012 with no money or parts. I've ask other people on the forum that had purchased parts from James with success. They've received parts within two days. What gives James? I've heard great responses from people that have done business with you. I feel I'm getting screwed on this deal. I'm not sure what's going on but I've seen where you have bought several parts cars since you've gotten my money. So I know you had the money to ship my parts and it should have taken this long to ship the parts you said were boxed and ready to go when you received the money.
I don't say this about a bunch of guys but I will be more than happy to call him my friend.
