Items bought from FABO guys

Yea, everyone does not live in town and price of gas, not everyone wants to make the trip that day for a $20 piece. I seldom sell any parts anymore, but if I do I try to tell the buyer when I will get to the P.O. I tell the buyer that after he pays for the part, as half the time the guy blows it off and never hear back or he pays 3 days after the fact. I am so glad I seldom fool with selling anything.

Exactly. And how many members on the board are retired and not making regular trips into work? Or, you know, work hours that mean they can't drop anything off on the way to, or home from work because nothing is open?

To me this is just a communication point. Be up front with what the shipping timeline will be, give a tracking number as soon as you've got one, etc. I take pictures of the items I send now before I pack them up and afterward, so I can show the buyer what everything looked like when it went in the box and the condition of the darn box too in case there's a problem later and to have documentation in case someone tries to scam me.
