So I bought my Mickey Thompson rims from a guy in Kentucky and the sucker isn't replying to my e-mails as to whether or not it's shipped. He has 99.6% positive feedback but he's sending them parcel post and I'd like to know when they leave.

THEN I bought my tires from a guy right here in the carolina's and; I get an e-mail from that guy saying oops we don't have any more of those. Can you wait a week?


AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH

 

Calm down...no worries. I've used e-Bay many times as I'm sure others have...it's usually a very positive experience but yeah you have a few hiccups now and then. That's what negative feedback is for. If they ran out of stock and are making you wait, I'd give them neutral feedback or even negative if the situation gets worse. Inventory does change often but they should be on top of that.

With respect to the other guy not getting back to you, yeah that would annoy me too. Again, he loves his precious feedback obviously so I'd give him a neutral at best right now since he isn't communicating with you and negative if it doesn't arrive when he said it would.

I know you want to get those rims and tires on but be cool...it'll all work out

In the wise words of Samuel L. Jackson.... "tell that b**** to be cool" "b**** be cool"

 

I get stressed like that too but it usually works out in the end. I have never had an issue. I did not know wheels could be shipped via parcel post. I would just about bet that fedex would have been cheaper and faster. I have priced some items weighing 10-15lbs with the post office and FedEx and FedEx came in several bucks cheaper and faster.

 

Yeah I'm getting the feeling the guy is a bit of an eBay rookie/ole timer. The shipping was free and listed as parcel post. Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll realize his mistake. We'll see. Sure would be nice to talk to 'em though.

 

So the wheel guy answered me and wooops he screwed up. The wheels aren't 5x5.5 they're 5x5....guess I'm looking for new wheels...

 

He may have realized he screwed up when he got to the post office and realized how much it was going to cost to ship them. A set of wheels is going to cost in the ball park of $100 to ship.
