I just found out today that the bike I bought (last Monday) will not be here until June 1st. The guy I bought it from didn't get the reserve price on eBay so I offered him $1,300.00 and he agreed. Well, he was never fast on emailing me back but was a reputable person (I checked with a few others that bought from him before). I never discussed shipping options because he was covering it. I paid for the bike (Monday) and he says after that he can't ship until Friday because he's out of town (I think I would have mentioned it to a potential buyer). Between Monday and Friday, I asked 4 times if he could get it to me by the following Monday (yesterday) because of my birthday. He never gave me a direct answer but I figured he had an idea that I wanted to get it quicker. I also offered to compensate him.

Well, to make a long story short. he told me that it should be here tomorrow and he JUST got me the tracking # today. When I checked it, JUNE 1ST was the scheduled delivery date. UPS Ground was the last method I wanted it shipped. The postal service is quicker.

Also, the scanned item says that it's 4.80lbs? It better be the bike coming. I've already thought about him skimming on shipping to save costs. Anybody else run into weird shipping weights when using UPS Ground? Do they ever show up early? It's coming from Nevada to NYC and was shipped on the 21st. It left Nevada on the 21st and is in transit (that's the last scan). I hate UPS Ground!

Boy am I heated. I've been looking forward to riding this for 2 weeks now.
