Keep this thread going - next step will be to post his name / address /phone # up here and on the H.A.M.B.
Steve, I have tried these two options in the past with no discernible effect. Good thought, but in my experience they are just pacifiers, because we're just small beer to them.

Steve,

Your son is correct. First, contact the US Post Master in that town and present him with all of the documentation to support your claim and explain what happen. The Post Master will go directly to his house or work about this. He will find you and there will not be a long delay.

Contact the State Secetary of State's office. They are much, much slower than the PM.

Good luck.

Neil

Oh well, its another 24 hours later and no response from him on the Barn, by telephone, or by e-mail..... So for any of you that don't have his e-mail address it is [email protected] so keep on this issue
and if there are no results I'll post his phone # next.

It would take "60 Minutes" to get them to move and even then that's questionable.

I think we have experienced delays in receiving parts purchased timely or sent off parts for restoration that take forever. For me I prefer not to do business long distance any longer for parts costing more than $50. I just shop the LA and San Diego markets for the used parts I need and combine errands and visits to relatives to pick them up and hand over cash after seeing the part. I know this excludes a lot of good sellers and I must wait longer for the parts I need but I just dont want the hassle. This system modifies with the scarcity of the part however...

5 years ago I went to the police when I didn't get parts from a couple ebay sellers. The police didn't want to be bothered and said it was a postal matter. I went to the post office and they told me ebay was a gamble and I lost. They could care less about helping anyone.

If you are missing parts that you paid for, how about posting a note on the post that is his For Sale Ad? Just reply and remind him how long you have been waiting. That is as good a way to contact him as you seem to have, and it will alert others who are shopping for parts that there could be problems in going business with him.

Why didn't you buy those parts from an established company that sells those parts everyday? Just curious...

Does anyone have his address? My Uncle Tony lives in central Florida and if nearby he'd be happy to pick up your parts.

I don't get this, you are defending him here like you know him personally, then later in the thread you call him a pitiful excuse of a seller. I'm confused....

Following the thread it seems to that Bob had, in the beginning, received communication that his items were shipping, probably an apology too. He was led to believe all was well. Then the seller failed to hold up his end of the bargain, frustrating Bob.

With all this back and forth about dealing with this person, I hope someone has contacted the webmaster to stop this person from posting anything for sale.
With all these complaints, I vote for the boot.

Got my part by parcel post. Then He responded after I let him know I got it. Yeah, I alternated between frustration and false promises. I think he still owes the head if I am not mistaken. Not a positive experience for me. Bob
