30 Degrees Crooked
I have a question. Read this and tell me if I'm not the only person that feels like this is a total load of ****... 3 months ago, 4 out of 5 lugs spun on the driver's side hub of my Dart. After a blistering 10 mph journey, I got it home where it has sat on jackstands since... Why? Because nobody carries a hub and I can't find one! :banghead:
So what do I do? I put a plea for anybody listening who posses a hub in my signature, after 2 weeks I get contacted by somebody who shant be named... He says:
I tell him, I don't really need or have the money for all that, just the hubs... He says, "ok, I'll press them out of the hubs and get a shipping quote". He gets a quote of some $15 dollars and says $34 would ship it down here. So I thought, ok $15 a piece plus tax. So I tell him, as soon as payday rolls around, I'll run over to the P.O. and get a money order (which is the payement method HE requested) and he says something along the lines of "well I know times are tuff, so just make it $25." At this point I was confused and asked how he was getting his numbers, he tells me...
Now wait a minute... What happened to free? So I sent him this...
Here is his response...
Now first of all, is it my fault that I didn't need 4 drums and shoes? Is it my fault he had to do all this "stuff" which really wasn't all that much work anyways, to ship the package? No!
Second of all, this is bullshit. Does anybody else feel his response was a bit out of line? Or is it just me.
Third of all, here I am after some 3 months my car still sits on jackstands in my driveway, my only transportation. Can't have a job without a car, been riding to school with my friend in his shitty Toyota, and worst of all I'm resigned to sitting and watching my p.o.s. sit and rust into an even bigger p.o.s. For god sakes, ask any close friends and they tell you I'm the biggest hard *** they know! I'm so pissed off over this crap I feel like I just want to go cry somewhere...
To make matters worse, I tried to apologize, for what I don't know, and even offered to pay him the $10 for each hub. That was quite a few days ago, he usually responds within the day. Good god! He can't even pull his head out of his *** long enough to listen to an apology, collect his money, and ship the damn parts!!!
Ok, venting session over with...

Matt I have 4 new 9in Drums and new shoes and the nfront drums have the hubs in them. You can have them all for price of shipping. These were on my duster and only had 1800 miles on them and I upgraded.

No its $15 to ship two hubs and I was asking $10 eachfor hubs but justgive me $5 each for the hubs +$15 for shipping. Shoes and drums would be why more shipping.

:wink:
Here is his response...
Thats befor you wanted just hubs which I had to go four miles in four wheel drive in about 0 wheather and root through a pile of stuff with car put up for winter. If you wanted all I was going to drop off at package shipping and you pay bill. Now I had to press front drums off package to save you money package up and get quote. Thats alot of work and gas to give something away for free so screw this off to the junk man they go and you can go lay in the **** someplace and get some for free and use your gas instead of mine. I never had to work so hard to give away a part. Nobody wants it all so I spend my time finding stuff and pressing it apart so you can have what you want? So for that $10 is too much? Get them some place else. From now on all is going to junk.
