This is interesting. Having spoken with the shipper on the other end[this morning]...it appears that he finally appeared and asked for a 24 hr. quote, YESTERDAY. He should ship today, if he has the inclination and funds to do so. If this person truly has some sort of issue, communication would be/have been the way to have resolved it. The saga continues....
EXPECTED UPDATE!!! Just received email...
"Oh good morning mr. Mike I want to start off by saying that you have a right to be upset with me you have a right to display your frustrations with me I get that and I'll give you that one hundred percent but one thing I have to say is that I don't take kindly to being accused of making up stories or excuses I have made up neither I have been extremely extremely busy since we first started talking I even told you in the emails that it was no rush to get the rims out to me you had him out to me within a week well before that we had massive fires up here in Tennessee and Gatlinburg Tennessee I'm sure you've heard of it on the news what are city was part of the response team to help people find and reclaim things afterwards and any overtime that any of us made went straight to the fire victims Plus I'm sorry that other things that were Beyond My Control in my life have interfere with you getting the rims I have a granddaughter that has a heart condition that was in the hospital for 3 days a week after that my wife is in the hospital with the heart condition that she has that my granddaughter inherited and my wife had a second bout with her heart again a little less than two weeks ago at the same time I was having to work the snow and i stuff here in Tennessee for our city I'm not making excuses I'm just telling you the facts and I'm sorry that my life interfere with you getting your rims that I do apologize but with that said I have one other thing to say to you I don't mind you are anybody voicing your displeasure but one thing I will not put up with from you or from any human being ever again is cussing at me and telling you I better get those F and rims sent out so with that said mr. Rickett this is what I'm going to do you're going to get your rims but they're not the ones you think it out I'm going to pull back off your Cragars and your tires with your lug nuts repackaging a backup on a pallet this weekend and I'm going to take them down on Monday morning to Fastenal and send them back to you I am not trying to shyste you or take advantage of you and I take great exception with everything that I have been going through and the stress I have been under for you to sit there and say I'm making excuses and stories up and then to cuss me out on a call me some words that to me is degrading and demeaning as a human being and as a man you could talk to me as a man you don't have to talk down to me sir with foul language that may be part of your Communications it's not of mine and I do not appreciate it so with that said you will have your rims and tires back very shortly thank you and you have a wonderful day and remember how you treat people is how you will be treated one day too"
So...it would seem that our member[67coronetman/Mark West] has at minimum, cheated me out of the shipping cost/time for my sending him wheels[if I get mine back in the same condition]. I don't believe he has the wheels he was supposed to send to me, and he thought this would go away. IT WON'T. I have documentation from the shipper on both ends, emails, pm's, and will be pursuing this information to the city dept. where he works, and the local LE agency in Maryville Tn. He can act butthurt and like a child....but he's not an honorable or trustworthy person. It took me 3 hours total-time to get his stuff pkg'd and sent to a shipper. He couldn't do the same in a month. BULLSHIT!
ANOTHER email....the most communication I've had from him in a month. LOL Now he's trying to act like he's standing on the high-ground, and gonna teach me a lesson for using mean words. LOL
"Well I'm sorry you feel that way I do have the rims they are in my truck all boxed up but you will never see them that I guarantee and I will be sending your rims back and I did go down to fascial on Friday no matter what they say they just couldn't get me a quote till Monday I have no reason to lie or cheat anybody and watch what you say to sir I have every email correspondence between US just as you say you do and I print them off and produce them and I will not be paying you one penny and shipping fees I guarantee it if I'm shipping your rims and tires back to you at my cost you will not get no shipping fees for me we're done you will get your products back this next week I'll deal with somebody who wants to understand what life is and I'm so sorry that my wife's health and my grandchild else wasn't is portent as your rims buddy and I do man up I'm not the one cussing someone out like a little child over email you have a good day"
