Hyundai Aftermarket - No Money? No Problem?

Okay, where do I start. In January of this year I purchased some parts from a member on these forums. It was understood that the items would not be shipped out until the vehicles that the member was parting out were towed away and the parts I needed could be safely removed. I really didn't know how to bring this out so I thought I would post the entire conversation I have had with this member and see if that will speed the shipping of my parts. Also this is the most un-prejudice, and fair way I can see in doing this.

Keep in mind that in no way am I intending to ruin the reputation of anyone on these forums. This is basically the only means I can see that might envoke a resolution to my problems.

Here they are, in date order.

Okay sounds good, just thought I would throw that option out about meeting up. I think I'll take that bar too. Say 100 for everything shipped? Of course the bar might push the shipping to come out to more. If you can hold on to the stuff for a little bit I just paid for my manifold from Maintec so money is kinda tight right now. I get paid on the 15th or so and I can guarantee payment by then, I'm just not sure right now. If that's a problem lemme know I can swing it, but if you can wait that would be much appreciated.

For the record I'm not expecting it to be shipped until I pay obviously.

Here is the DIY I will be somewhat following. Just the spindle and hub is all I need. I'm sure you know what it is. Thanks.

Well I'd prefer a money order. But if you absolutely can't send one then I can take paypal. But money orders are easier for me cause that way I have the money right then and there to ship it out, and its easier for me to keep track of things. But let me know if you wanna do paypal instead.

Hubs/Spindles/Strut Bar, Jan 20 2005, 10:15 PM
From reading the Hyundai Sunday thread I just thought I'd throw this idea out at you. Are you crossing into Ontario when you come up this month?? Cuz, honestly I'll meet up with you if you are, then you get more $$$ and I save a tiny bit.

There are three bridges, the Peace Bridge (Fort Erie), the Rainbow Bridge (Niagara Falls), and the Queenston/Lewiston Bridge (Queenston/Lewiston). If you're crossing at any one of these I'll meet you. The farthest one is 20 mins from my place. It'll only take about 5 mins out of your trip. I've got a good spot to meet for all three bridges and I'll assume you're crossing at the Queenston Lewiston Bridge. If not, cool, I'll send the MO and you can ship away. Just thought I'd throw that idea out there.

Hey,

Its a good idea but Im going to be traveling with my mother so Im actually not sure which way shes gonna be going, and shes not gonna wanna stop at all for me. Its no biggie for me to ship them. I dont mind at all. Just if you could PM me back with everything that you're buying so I can add it to the list of stuff I need to box up, lol

Hub/Spindle Assembly - Strut Bar, Jan 21 2005, 10:05 PM
Hey, wazup. You wanted me to let you know about what I was getting from you. It's basically in the subject. Hub/spindle assembly from BOTH sides, and the strut bar you sold in one of your other threads.

For some reason my check has not been put in my bank account yet I gotta take care of that on Monday, unfortunately I work tomorrow a.m. and the bank isn't open of Sunday. Go figure.

Guess it works out kinda well cause I read your thread about the cold weather (same here) so it must've been meant to be. It'll def be out on Tues or Wed, of this week.

Re: Hubs/Spindles/Strut Bar, Jan 26 2005, 10:44 PM
Hey,

Ok I dont have the hubs and spindles yet, but I do have the strut bar and if you want I'll bring it with me and you can pay me in Candian $$ for it, and then just pay me for everything else later when I get them off the car. I'll be staying at the Best Western in Niagra Falls and my mom said it would be alright if you stopped by or we met up or something. Im leaving tomorrow and will be there until Sunday morning. So if you wanna arrange something, PM me back. I might not get back to you before we leave though so I'll give you my cell phone number so you can get in touch with me: 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX if I dont answer it leave me a message with your phone number. Im gonna bring the strut bar with me either way just in case you do wanna meet up.

Thanks,

Re: Hubs/Spindles/Strut Bar, Jan 26 2005, 10:54 PM
Honestly I just sent my payment. My bank wanted to charge me 12.50 to get a MO. F that man, I sent some cash to you. If you want we can still meet up. Sucks, should be there by Friday but you never know nowadays. If it's cool I can still take the bar off your hands so you don't have to cart it around. But.....you'll have to trust me on the money, as I sent it yesterday.

My cell is XXX-XXX-XXXX gimme a call when you get in the area. Hell......I'll be off and on here all day tomorrow a.m. from work I'll be there from 7am-3pm you can call me there at 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX, I'll answer, if you want we can sort this out. REAL tough to do with typing.

Hey there,

Well good news is Im coming back up there at the end of the week, We are going to Oakville until Tuesday. So maybe this time we really can meet up. I'll PM you when I figure something out.

Thanks,

Re: What's Up??, Mar 3 2005, 11:35 PM
Hey there,

I just wanted to get in touch with you about the parts I owe you. Im gonna go ahead and send you the strut bar this weekend. The other parts unfortunately I have to wait until right before the car is towed away, because I need to keep the wheels on it while its in my driveway. If you dont wanna wait (it'll be another couple of weeks) I'll be happy to refund the money for the other parts. Just let me know what you wanna do, and thanks for being patient.

Re: What's Up??, Mar 4 2005, 08:19 AM
Yeah, that's no problem at all. I realize your not a professional auto wrecker. You're basically doing me a favour so I'm cool with waiting. Just let me know when you send the other stuff.

~Cody

Re: What's Up??, Mar 8 2005, 03:59 PM
Hey,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm cool with waiting but if I can be a top priority. I have noticed my bearing on the front pass. side is getting worse. With cdog's mishap with the wheel falling off, I don't want this to happen to me, again. Please keep me on the top of the list. Thanks,

Hey,

You've been gettin' some flak from people huh?

Oh well, I'm glad you posted your email addy, now I can bug you about my stuff. LOL

I noticed the other thread stating your getting everything together to tow the beasts away. Does this mean I can start my latest project?

Anyway, hope everything is going okay, I'm just bugging you to keep my name at least in the top half of your list. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hey,

Yup you're definetly first priority. What we're gonna
do is psuh the car out into the street so that way we
can put in on cinderblocks until it is towed. I
wouldve done that sooned but my mom just got the
driveway repaved and she would have KILLED me if I did
that, cause then the tow guy would have had to drag
the car out and it would leave huge marks in her brand
new driveway. LOL well thanks again so much for being
patient, if theres anything else you need that I can
throw in for free for you, just let me know.

Thanks again,

Cool cool, I'm getting excited for this, I have new rotors to put on now, I can start my turbo project now that I trust my car won't fall apart. LOL

Anyway thanks for the offer but I've got everything I need. Well, kinda, I was installing my haloz yesterday and lost the screw that keeps the corner connected to the headlight, if you have an extra one, it would be appreciated but only if you have an extra one.

Thanks,

Hey, what's up? Just wondering if you sent my stuff yet, if so I haven't received anything yet.

~Cody

Wed, 11 May 2005 09:57:40 -0700 (PDT)
Checked the mail today, no luck. Any idea about this stuff, I was under the impression that you sent them away last week or so. If not just hit me back.

I've read you post's on RD, I mean no biggie, but updates are nice when you're waiting for parts.

~Cody

Wed, 11 May 2005 18:13:44 -0700 (PDT)
I know.

The strut bar will DEFINETLY be shipped once I get
paid in two days. I PROMISE you.

As for the hubs, Im so hesitant on shipping them
because i know its gonna be like $50 to ship them. I
would rather just refund you the money for them but I
know you've been waiting for them and really need
them.

Let me see how much money I have to work with and what
I can do.

But I will definetly send you the strut bar.
Deinfinetly.

Im so sorry for making you wait. I really feel
terrible, so many people hate me now. Im definetly
quiting the part out business after this is done.

Sorry,

Member

I'll tell you what, if you can box 'em up and find out what shipping is, maybe we can work something out. Cause really, I have been waiting for the hubs/spindles, and to think that I've sat on my ass when I could have been looking for a wrecked 99+ for 4 months really gives me a sick feeling in my stomach.

You know I hate to be harsh, but I gave you $100 bucks, so you buying things or doing whatever with my money kinda makes me mad. And I think that is the reason a lot of people are getting upset. I understood that you needed the hubs to stay on the car, TOTALLY understandable. But the car is gone, and so is my money, ya know??

Anyway, see what the shipping is, if it is astronomical it wouldn't be any good for either of us. I'll check the wrecker's here in town to see if there has been a recent casualty as I have checked before, but you never know.

No I'll send them. I'll get the boyfriend to take the
axles off, cause that I cant do myself. The strut bar
I will send out today, then hopefully the hubs on
Monday.

sorry,

Oh yeah if you could just send me your address again,
I think I have it written down but just in case I cant
find it.

Hi,

Alright, the strut bar is on its way to you. I sent it
on...Tuesday I think it was. So you will get it
shortly.

As for the hubs, I ran out of money this week to ship
them, but even still I still need my boyfriend to get
the axles off. He tried but we might just bring them
to my mechanic. Anyway I will try my hardest to get
them shipped to you once I get my next paycheck, which
is a week from tomorrow. I will do everything I can to
make it happen. I just shipped Patreezy's hubs, and it
cost $50 for the both of them. So I can only imagine
what its gonna cost to ship them to Canada. Well
anyway I'll let you know.

Now I must admit, I was going to see if I could find a US address that these could be sent to, unfortunately these guys don't trust me enough I guess, and they won't do it. Plus it's a pretty big favour to ask.

Also, I have received the Strut bar as of 2 weeks ago. So it's only the hubs.

Alright so here is the thing, I sent money for parts that included shipping. Now they aren't being shipped because there is no money.

My biggest problem is just that. Where did the money go? I know there has been insurance issues, and car payments, but I don't remember signing up for another member help fund.

Hopefully this thread brings about a conclusion to this issue and not a war between myself and the other member involved. I have since sent an email to the member asking for an update. That was on the 3rd of this month. I prolly should have waited a bit longer for this but I can't I would really like to get these parts so I can safely drive my car.

Again, I'm not here to bash anyone or hurt anybody's feelings, I just need my parts.
