Are all yanks dumb? Or only the ones I deal with.
Last week I bought some parts off a dealer for my car.front and rear bars and a grill.
Total cost $500 us plus he quoted $250 for postage.
I deposit the money and I receive an email saying the parts are on there way and the postage cost is $1059.
He commented that he thought it would be ok and could I pay the balance.
I rang him and he said the parcel weighed more than 50lbs and the post offic wouldnt handle it so he went to ups.
During the call he said I could have he parts for free as long as I paid him the balance.
I believe he paid the money im just not sure why he didnt contact me. How do people honestly function.

bfit:
The pricing is about rite for 50 lb  shipped by  UPS door to door
how ever  there are better alternatives you could have used
DHL would be cheaper

But what do you do  is the question
I would wait and see if the parts  turn up just in case its a scam.

bootlegger:
When I bought the stuff I asked for a shipping price. He gave me the $250 quote to ship from arizona. I dont even know how it ended up 50lbs. C2 bars weigh nothing.
If he had come back with a thousand dollar quote I would have had him send them to my mate in long beach who ships containers out every two weeks. When I first bought the parts I even told him he could post to long beach.
I cant believe he didnt get back to me. Im just going to wait to see what happens.

Any intelligent seller would first check with the buyer when the shipping ends up 4 times the original estimate.

bootlegger:
My point exactly.  The more I think about it the more I think its his stuff up and I shoukdnt pay.
