Hello Jared,
I hope you are not trying to screw me over, I guess I shouldn’t have trusted you but I did, I need a tracking # for the column, the column, or send me my louvers back. Here is how everything has transpired since we made the deal just so everyone knows. The only reason I am posting this is because he supposedly shipped the column last Friday, has not given me a tracking # and is now stating he never received the louvers I sent and have proof of them being delivered.

The louvers are really nice with only one half broken stud in total. The half broken stud is in the middle of the louver so it will not affect mounting. Please send me your addy so I can get them packaged.

haha

 

I tore out my old column and took it apart trying to figure out how it works, my car is immobile now, why would you laugh at me

 

Is this a coincidence that he happens to have a mint set of louvers with only one stud missing for sale

Thats rude Dude? Why is it funny?

 

i smell a douchebag

 

not cool at all!

 

Not at all John, he is on the boards right now. He will not reply to any of my or our posts or PM's and I hope he makes it right.

 

He has several items posted for sale now. BEWARE !

 

Here is the latest to keep everyone who is interested informed, he PM'd me and wrote:
3/30:
"hey those louvers didn't come to saturday not monday yours should be there by now as well i sent it out a week ago i used usps they told me 5 days cause it was parcel post let me see if i can track it down i didn't get the delivery confirmation but i'll see whats going on"

It seems like he is telling one lie after another to cover up the first lie, I wish he would have just maned up, told me the truth in the first place, and he would avoided a situation like this.

 

Just an FYI there is no way to track a package through USPS unless you pay for delivery confirmation.
Also I ship a LOT of packages through usps, they are slow but do not lose stuff, or at least they have not lost any of the probably 100 packages I have sent through them. Lately USPS seems very slow, I shipped out an antenna that should of been 5 business days but took about 2 weeks, no idea why. Give it a chance, USPS is always slow but reliable.

 

in my opinion if you are sending any part worth more than like $5 you should pony up the 65 cents for a tracking number and delivery conf. this guy def sounds like hes covering up mistakes (intentional or unintention). hope you guys get it worked out !

 

Ive gotta say that usps is very slow. Took a week for a money order i sent to get from CT to MA. Not only that but stop bashin Jared, hes a stand up guy. Ive had many dealings with him and never have we had a single issue. You cant beat his prices and the parts are top notch. Ill stick up for ya bud.
Matt

 

I sent my package out AS PROMISED, it arrived to him AS PROMISED in a few days. Why did he not send it out on Friday UPS with tracking like he stated I am not bashing anyone here buddy, all I want from him is the TRUTH instead of one lie after another. If he is your buddy why don't you find out what is really going on and post it here because he wont. Please reread all his posts and read through the original thread if you think he is in the right, heck he lied about sending out a payment when I orginally dealt with him and he was caught telling a lie there also. All I want is a tight steering column or my louvers back, simple as that, I don't need any more smoke blown up my **** There is one thing I really hate and that is a liar, when someone tells a lie they have to keep telling lies to cover up the original lie and it turns to this
----------
I always ship USPS Priority Mail, it takes 2 days and comes with delivery confirmation. It only costs a couple of buxs more but it is worth it because you know it will get there on time. If he says he sent it all I can do is wait, originally he stated he sent it UPS and forgot the tracking # at work, so lets see what happens

 

I hope it works out for you. Keep us updated.

 

USPS priority mail doesnt come with delivery confirmation, it is extra. Delivery time is dependant on distance, it is not always 2 days. It is faster than parcel post but not always 2 days. Anyway, good luck. I have a nice column from an 88 IROC if you still need one.

 

This sucks that you are getting screwed. I have dealt with people in the past who say they sent it USPS and have no delivery confirmation. You basicly are taking there word(which isnt much in this day and age) that it was actaully sent. Then they can lay all the blame on the post office when it never shows.

The way I see it, he owes you money or a column if it doesnt show up. Delivery confirmation is to protect the seller and it deosnt cost much. Its his problem if he cheaped out and didnt put it on the package. Also if he stated he was shipping UPS and sent it out USPS then thats just bad business.

Oh, and 83Chevy_Camaro...your a douche bag. If thats the best you can contribute to this site then go away.

 

Not if you print your postage online, ie paypal

 

My experience with cam91rs1:


https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/clas...od-seller.html

 

Did you pay with paypal? If so, time to file a claim!

 

I didn't pay, I traded. Every third gen has a steering coulmn, there are only so many nice hood louvers left but I gambled on Jared, I hope I don't end up at a loss. It has been 12 days and still no column Latest PM from him will be posted below.

"A receipt won't prove anything except that you were at the post office, unless you have positive proof that you mailed the column specifically to me a receipt won't prove squat."

 

I sent him at cashiers check for a steering wheel and a console lid. He claimed the check was bad. I checked with my bank and they said the check was cleared.

 

Just keep you eye on that check number so you will know if he cashes it.

 

He did cash it I tried to cancel the check, and they told me it was already cashed.

 

i don't know whats taking so long sorry dude your right the receipt shows i was at the post office but it does say nm with the zip on it i'm not screwing anyone over it took me over week and a half to get a package from ny and i live in ct please let everyone know when u DO get it cause i know it's on the way

 

it was sent out sorry it's taking so long to get to you i'm not out to screw anyone over

 

I will let you and everyone know when and if I do get it, thanks for finally coming in here and posting something.

 

Still nothing, oh I wish I could drive my Maro

 

This is a real BROTHER, he has offered me a free column.

"I might have one laying around if you need it.
Looking for a specfic year? or you willing to splice the harness if needed?

If I do have one hangin in the shop you can have it free just pay shipping costs.

I'll check this weekend and see if I have a good one."

 

what the heck do you want from me it was sent i didn't get anything back not my fault sorry take the other guys column then this way you will have 2

 

not defending anyone or attacking anyone but i know when i ordered USPS shipping it took ALMOST a month to get my stuff.. NO JOKE! hopefully you'll still get the column you traded for. Plus i think if you didn't get the column he should give you back the louvers..... but whatever hardly anyone cares about anyone anymore.

 

You guys are opening up old wounds. I recognized the name(cam91rs1) and knew I had previous dealings with him (back in '06). Went a couple months. I had to ship the parts back because he misrepresented them and I was out the shipping. I've got lots of emails. Why is he still here? Stay away

 

Your are ultimately responsible if the item doesnt show up. You chose to send it USPS instead of UPS or Fed Ex that can be tracked. Not to mention with UPS or Fed Ex you get $100 of Insurance.

 

never refused to send his parts back but i'm not going to do that ''YET'' because i know he will be getting the column it was SENT OUT and once again i'm sorry for the long wait not my fault for the 8th time i'll ask the post office to write him an apology letter. I'M SORRY. what more do u want me to say as far as a few people haveing a few issues with me there's alot that have not had issues with me had have bought more then one thing from me sorry everything with everybody doesn't go so smoothly

 

With respect, choosing to ship using the Post Office instead of UPS does not make one responsible for parts not arriving. The USPS is a legitimate form of delivery, and with Delivery Confirmation it provides limited ability to track your packages, at least at their endpoint.

 

This is true but without putting the .55 cent confirmation on it would be a huge mistake on the sellers part and IMO make him responsible. I ship alot of smaller Items through them and always put a confirmation on them. I sold a few things a few years back that i failed to put a confirmation on and the buyer stated they it never showed. I had no proof it was sent so i refunded there money or sent out another part.

 

I will remember this guy not to buy from

 

You have a valid point there Dave, but when an individual states that he or she is shipping through one source, then states the next day that the tracking # was forgotten at work, then states a week later the the package was shipped via another carrier with no tracking # and now it is two weeks later and who knows if anything was ever shipped, is this guy trustworthy I have never had a problem shipping USPS 2 day Priority Mail (NEVER) My packages get there within 2 days (unless I ship on Friday) and I have always been able to track them. What also gets me is that I tracked the louvers, he stated he never got them but I knew he did and after he stated he hadn't received them he offered them for sale
----------
I hope the column does come, but I am very skeptical at this point. Of course it is your fault because you lied about shipping

 

your right i give up it was sent thats all i know oyu should have it when ever the post office delivers it it's out my hands at this point. do u want your louvers back as well. will this make everything better!!!!!!!!!i'm sorry and i'm trying to do the right thing here
SSEAN92 sorry to hear you won't buy from me i pm'd u on the other board about springs

 

Ive shipped with USPS with no problems for years. Then last year (2) envelopes had problems. #1 never showed. #2 showed up empty.

ALWAYS INSURE ****.

My offer still stands. This is what I have.....
Unknow year. With tilt and delay wipers. no cruz
88/89 I forget what year the car is. With tilt / delay wipers and cruze but feels loose.

between the good one and Yours.
Im sure you could take the cruz parts outa your loose one and put them in the nice one.

Cover S/H and its yours. Its been hangin in the shop for who knows how long so i dont need it.

 

That's very kind of you, TPI383. Great to help out a fellow member.

 

Thank you very much for the offer Chris, let me see where this goes and I will let you know. The main reason I wanted to get a tight one is because I didn't want to mess with taking it apart.
Thank you

 

got a very nice 88 tilt column with key, $68 shipped.

 

I'll also keep you in mind.

 

any luck

 

Hello Jared,
There was in fact a pink slip in my mail box today, now all I have to do is pick it up and make sure it's ok. I never meant to start this but when you stated you never got the louvers and my tracking showed you had them and you attempted to sell them right after that I was infuriated. I hope the column is what you said it is. Please make things easier for you for all future posts and transactions, please be upfront and honest, honesty is the best policy.
Lawrence
I will post a follow up on the condition of the column because I never saw a picture; I don’t think you have a camera yet.

 

ok please let me and everyone eles know there was nothing wrong with the column when i sent it out so you shoud have no problems with it the keys in it as well and once again sorry for the delay

 

The delay doesn't bother me, please reread the last post. The lies that you told are what bothered me

 

Iron duke, kind of off topic but what did you do to your column..i just had to tear into mine. What happened to yours to make your car immobile? I am just curious to know, if it all else fails, two brains (not to mention everyone else on this board) are better then one in figuring out how to fix your old one

 

Well my column was so floppy I hated to even take my car for a drive. I took out the column two weeks ago and started taking it apart by reading posts and the reading the manual I have. I ended up breaking the plastic shroud so I basically just busted the column up with a hammer to get my turn signal switch out My old column is in pieces and is a pile of junk I hear it's easy to repair but I guess I don't have the time or the tools to do it myself
