Get your bike. Ride, enjoy, and smile!

Go figure. I got my bike a few months ago via FedEx and it arrived three days earlier than the due date, only 2 days from Portland, OR to Missoula MT.

CRSO,

lets see, you bought the bike outside of e-bay, the seller was slow to answer e-mails
(which I assume were sent prior to your buying the bike), and he (the seller) is paying shipping,
and your hacked off at the seller?
Even with your offer to pay additional for faster shipping, the history was there that this
guy was gonna be slow or not respond to e-mail (or even read them for all you know).
I'm sorry but I just don't think you have a right to whinge. Sure it sux that you won't have
the bike for memorial day, but you'll get over it.

Per Ebay rules, he cannot give him any feedback since this was a private deal (reserve was not met hence not a 'ebay' contract) - I've learned the hard way. - I've made offers on items that did not sell and have done pretty good, but one must be careful and trusting. They can take your money and do what they wish as far as shipping, nothing to lose but personal integrity.
