I'm gonna lay 10:1 odds it was sent by boat and not airmail.

Must specify you want it sent airmail!

I don't know why people keep saying USPS is crap?
Because they are.... anytime I've had to deal with them in person or over the phone they are worse than the DMV... they make me feel as if I should feel bad for making them do their job.... and also too many experiences where a package is shipped, and when it gets to me the box is all mangled as can be seen in the picture Keith posted... UPS FTW

i guess a quick update? lol

well apparently the parcel was sent back to the seller (in the states) as unclaimed, or so he says when i pm'ed him asking about it roughly 3weeks ago.

he said he'll use a different service this time. fair call. i didn't specifically ask for which service/company he was going to use cause i felt i wasn't in the right to do so. so i let him decide what to do. all i wanted was the item to arrive at my doorstep!

i left the seller a pm once a week for the past 3 weeks, and still no reply. what should i do? its been just over 3months i think since i've sent payment for the item and haven't gotten anything in return yet!

ps:
the seller doesn't to have a bad record on s2ki nor sounds like a bad person or anything. i think he's just rather busy with his business? but still c'mon...3weeks no reply...its doing my head in!!

Good luck getting your stuff... All I know is that when I send/receive stuff like shoes from France (my uncle used to work for Adidas) we would have to ship each shoe seperately, or else they would never show up...

That sounds like a professional Malaysian job right there.

UPDATEEE:

its time to name and shamee

copy pasted from seller feedback section

i had bought a set of door panels from brent2319 in late feb 2010. it is now dec 2010 and still no refund or door panels, just a whole heap of excuses and pm's requesting more money. i didn't reveal brent2319's identity in the thread because i thought it wasn't necessary until now.

if you read from the beginning of the thread, it'd start to make sense from here on.

that was from april. he decided to use amerijet to courier it over again, but this time said he needed 250 instead for shipping. we worked things out and decided to split the shipping cost half half, as soon as i receive the door panels on my side, i'd send him the remaining amount.

so he gave me a tracking number. i thought it was all sweet and i'd be getting the door panels in no time then another problem arose.

3rd June 2010

B: Yo, here is your tracking # 810-35930941
I shiped it through AmeriJet, so i believe you can track it through their web site. And again, sorry for this whole thing!

ME: hey brent

i just received this email yesterday...what does this mean? i thought i just owe you an extra 75usd, not $210.76? whats the $210.76 for?

i've already paid you in full amount for the price of the door panels +shipping fees last time. whats the go here man?

WE HAVE RECEIVED CARGO AWB 810-35930941 SYD IS ON HOLD FOR
PAYMENT PLEASE ADVISE .


AMOUNT OF $210.76

Phone 305-593-2997 Ext 3325
Fax 305-718-8176
maragundi@amerijet.com


B: WOW, i just got a email from them. It says shipping was $150.00, $25.00 for AirWay Bill fee, $25.76 Fuel Surcharge and a $10.00 Security (minimum)


ME: so does that mean the $210.76 is the total cost of shipping?
=
shipping was $150.00,
$25.00 for AirWay Bill fee,
$25.76 Fuel Surcharge and a
$10.00 Security

aren't you supposed to pay that amount for shipping before it leaves amerijet? (before it leaves america anyway?)
i'm still confused as to why it says "pending payment".

and if shipping is only $210, then its only an additional $110 from the $100 i first paid, correct? and if we are going half half then i owe you $55, correct?

so much confusion...


B: My employee took care of the duties and everything else when he was @ AmeriJet, $79.11 was paid and a $35.00 (SPS) small package service fee was covered when the Door Panels were dropped off. I dont know why it is so much money now. This is why i dont do over seas shipments, its just a headache, whatever customs is saying is probably what you owe.


22nd June 2010

ME: i think u should take notice of this.

Q: Hi, can you confirm whether this cargo is still at Miami base? or has the cargo left for Sydney already?

A: Hello,

This cargo is still here in Miami pending payment. Storage fees will apply if this is not paid soon.

so its still on ur end to deal with.

like i said if u don't want to deal with this anymore, take back the door panels for yourself from amerijet and just return my money as refund.


Brent: Q: Do you like having conversations with yourself like this?
A: I think you do...

What i think you need to do is chill the **** out. The comment you made in the previous conversation we had about " whats the deal now"? I was gonna offer you a set of Mint AP2 door panels from a 2007 Honda S2000 if you were willing to pay the difference for shipping.


ME: sorry i didnt clarify myself,
thats what i asked amerijet through email, and that was their response.
why would i make that shit up?
i've been getting emails from amerijet too for the past 2 weeks.

i was willing to pay the difference in shipping beforehand when we also agreed that i'd pay u as soon as i recieve the door panels on my side? or at least a VALID and TRACEABLE tracking id?

so its up to you which one u want to send, doesn't bother me as long as i get 03 or 07 door panels (mint ones).

what are u going to do about amerijet?
if ur not going through with amerijet then please post through fedex, will save us from any more headaches.


B: Ive been through FedEx and UPS, i believe both of them were more expensive. And as of right now, AmeriJet probably wont charge the storage fees if we go ahead and ship through them.
But as far as covering the shipping fees, how are you gonna go about that?


ME: if u want to go ahead with amerijet that's fine with me.
still want to go half half?
u pay full, and when i receive the door panels i'll send u the remaining half.

u happy with that?


B: Honestly, right now I'm kinda tight on money.... I'd prefer if you could send the money via paypal to cover it....


12 July 2010

ME: any updates?

B: Yup, they are now sitting back @ my shop. I had to pay $43 in storage fees or I was gonna loose the door panels. So now I need to find some place that will ship them.

30 July 2010

ME: hey man

i just want a refund now. its been too long.
$200USD is fine with me.

this way, i can stop harassing u about sending them, and u can get rid of them locally instead of internationally.

how about it? deal?


1 August 2010

ME: dude i know ur still active within the forums
i still see u post shit up and about so it seems to me that ur just avoiding my pm's and dealing with the problems.

like i said, i want a refund.

i've been nice, conservative and patient but this is just rediculous.


1st November 2010

ME: Since i never received and pms back or even received my door panels i want my refund back otherwise im going to go public on the forums about our dilemma.


B: Let me see what i can do about a refund, tight on money right now but i am supposed to be selling a motor this weekend and i will just give you a refund.


ME: Please get back to me ASAP!!


B: Will do.


ME: anything positive u can tell me?


B: This guy thats supposed to be buying the motor wants my blood type and social security # dude. Im just waiting for him to make up his mind. Like i told you, if this deal clears i have no problem issuing the refund.


ME: u own a business (or at least work), so u should have money!
cmon dude, its been a week, u always giving me excuses...


B: I told you i would give you the requested refund, im a small business (s2ooo parts store) not some huge corp. with a shit load of money, wait until this piece sells or continue being impatient and do what you gotta do.



that was the last i heard from him. i sent him another pm just over a week ago and still no reply.


4th December 2010

ME: its been a month since u last pm'd me back
its also been a month for ur small business to make my 200usd back.

wots going on? i want my money back
dont give me some bullshit about not being able to sell this or that.


---

he runs/works/own hybridwerks so u dont really expect him to be so shifty about running tight on money and shit. so if anyone knows brent2319, can u please help me get my money back from him!?!

as u all can see, from feb 2010 to dec 2010, i've got nothing in return but excuses and more excuses.
