you are looking at $85 to ship both with the tires give or take depending on your zip code.

1:10pm - Buyer
what's the total?

1:14pm - Seller
they want over 300 to ship. both fed ex and ups. it's the tires that cause that problem cause I can price out just the rims and it's like 30 dollars to ship them both. the size and weight kill it.

I am having trouble here with the ups honoring that shipping label. They are suppose to call me Monday. I took all paperwork in from the website and showed them and told them that it is legit and I will get my attorney envolved if I have to. Lol! They didn't want that. So I expect them to go out Monday man. I will send you the tracking number.

24 Jan 15
12:06pm - Seller
Yes so sorry!! They went out I believe Tuesday. Maybe Wednesday. I'll get the editor and send the tracking number. The rims are coming in centerline wheel boxes. The tires I have to send out this next Friday when I get paid. Sorry but shipping is ridiculous. I tried your idea and in this small town, forget it. It was a cluster. *Receipt not editor. Sorry autocorrect.

4:06pm - Seller
In glad you understand cause I don't. She had me beyond pissed. I asked her why she thought I have her so much money for shipping and her response was she though I didn't know how much it cost. Then kept the change. Grr!

4:06pm - Buyer

4:06pm - Seller
Thank you. I will leave a voice mail tomorrow as well as a text message.

Hello Buyer, this is Seller
I'm calling to keep in touch with you. I am staring at two centerline boxes in the back of my wife's suburban. she didn't not send them out. that is why I do not have a tracking number for the wheels. I sent her to send out 2 wheels and an intake system and apparently she assumed it was just he intake since was in the back seat of her suburban. I am terribly sorry for this. I will get them out first thing in the morning. I will call you in the morning when I'm at the post office and will give you the track number immediately. again I am sorry I assumed she'd send them out. and that's what I get for assuming. I asked her if she sent out my packages and she said yes and I took it at that. And I am terribly sorry feel free to contact me anytime I don't care if it's 2am. ###-###-#### and I will contact you in the morning sir. if not I will text you in the morning and leave a message after I call. thank you again. bye bye

9:23pm - Seller
Ok so you did get the wheels?

9:23pm - Buyer
I did thank you. I'll update paypal & remove the claim

25 Feb 15
9:26pm - Seller
It is going to cost me about $105 to send the tires due to the weight. I will look at sending them out March 15th. Same address right!?

9:28pm - Buyer
Yes same address. My friend is heading to a city in NM this Saturday to pick up a Ford Falcon. Would you happen to be in Albuquerque this weekend?

26 Feb 15
12:07am - Seller
No and it's not even cheaper to just drive there.

27 Feb 15
10:55am - Seller
Were you going to close the claim on Paypal?

10:55am - Buyer
Yes, I thought I did. I'll recheck today.

1:59pm - Seller
OK. Just wondering cause they are fixing to take our out of the checking account and that would leave me overdrawn.

5:48pm - Buyer
Seller, Paypal doesn't allow a claim to be reopened once it's closed. I was very patient & understanding with you after all the reasons you gave. I feel I wouldn't have received the rims if PayPal wasn't involved. You said the rims & tires were boxed up and/or shipped on multiple occasions but they were not. With that I'm going to leave the claim open until I receive the tires.

5:52pm - Seller
OK. I understand completely. The time on the shipping receipt was before you opened the case though. So you were going to receive them anyway. PayPal removed the funds from my account and that left me overdrawn till me paycheck get here. So I will try to get the tires out soon. Also the deal was for when shipping went down. It never has. By out deal you were just going to buy the time then. Now I am shipping the tiers at my expense.

Let me see what happens with my check now when it comes in. They already took the money back so I might just grant you a refund and have you send them back.

6:22pm - Seller
Let me know what you want to do.

7:16pm - Seller
upon agreement with mr. ##### tires were to be shipped with rims if shipping went down. if shipping did not go down mr. ##### was only going to buy the rims. which he received and I supplied the tracking number to. as shipping still has not gone down in price i have not sent the tires out as per our agreement. still over 100 dollars to ship the tires due to weight and size. me and mr. ##### never discussed the matter past that point as i assumed case closed as he received the rims. the tires i would then send at my convience due to me paying the shipping.

Let me start by asking if this individual is a member here... if so, and you would rather talk privately, please PM me.

11:46am - Seller
So what do you want to do?

11:49am - buyer
Did you see what I posted on PayPal? You see how many times you said the rims/tires were ready to go or shipped? Were you blaming me for being overdrawn in your account?

11:49 - Seller
I haven't logged into PayPal. No I wasn't blaming you. I should have just sent the wheels in the first place like we agreed.

11:49 - Buyer
I got a feeling you were. I was beyond polite & understanding.

Seller
Atleast at that point you would have had the wheels and just been waiting for the shipping to drop for the tires.

Buyer
What point was that?

Seller
The point if I had sent the wheels on time.

Buyer
True but that didn't happen. Only after I submitted a claim were they sent out later that day. Coincidence? After everything that was said & didn't happen, I highly doubt that.

Seller
But per our agreement, you have what you paid for. The shipping never dropped. Now to close the deal I am looking at having to pay over 100 dollars to ship tires to you. And that wasn't our deal.

Buyer
The deal was for you to ship in Jan & not give me the run around.
That was part of the deal too was it not?

Seller
yes sir you are correct.
What was?

Buyer
Shipping in Jan

Seller
yes it was. You are correct.

Buyer
Did you count how many times you said the rims & tires were going out? That fedex or ups was going to ship them for the right amount.

Seller
You do have the wheels and now when I fix my account and ship the tires it will be almost 300 dollars. It's not really wish to me to do that. I understand you're situation. I will just grant you the refund and have you send the wheels back.

Buyer
You said it not me. but I responded with sounds good or ok. So that was the deal correct?

Seller
Yes sir. You are correct. You sent the money with shipping. You even sent a way to sent them even through the ups store here wouldn't honor it when they said they would.

12:24pm - Seller
Are you OK with that?

Buyer
No

Seller
OK. So talk to me. You have the wheels.

12:30pm - Buyer
I've been talking to you since 1 Dec & have been up front with you the entire time. Paid right away, answered right away, anything you asked & I didn't receive that back. Now if you were in my shoes what would you want?

Seller
What I paid for.

Buyer
What did I pay for?

Seller
By our agreement, the wheels, Right!? The shipping is the same to this day.

Buyer
Rims & Tires are what I paid for

Seller
You are right, you were completely up front.

12:34pm - Buyer
How much did they quote to ship everything together?

Seller
Over 300.

Buyer
What about the way I found? Did they quote you on that?

Seller
I believe it was in our conversation. Everytime I was asked to check it was the same.
The ups store won't honor it unless I have a business license.

Buyer
To ship it like how I found?

Seller
Yes

12:46pm - Buyer
Have you checked shipnex.com for a shipping quote?

12:51pm - Buyer
How much do the tires weight?
35L x 20W x 25H is that the tire specs?

Seller
I'll have to measure. But that sounds close to being right. How dose that shipping work?

12:56pm - Buyer
Screen shot of shipnex.com quote.
Seller city to Buyer city: 2 packages at 100lbs each with dimensions 35 x 20 x 25 total cost is $111.75.

12:57pm - Buyer
They use ups for ground shipments from what I've read.
Fedex for express.

Seller
So it is pretty much what I told you.

Buyer
How?

Seller
I said it was just over 100.

Buyer
To ship everything right?
You were saying 300 not 100.

Seller
I don't know the wheels are already gone. I don't know.

Buyer
Because you didn't ship everything together like we discussed & agreed upon. I don't get the tires? Is that what you're saying?

Buyer
Because you didn't ship everything together like we discussed & agreed upon. I don't get the tires? Is that what you're saying?

Seller
I'm just saying that I know this is my fault. But I can't force the site here to honor something on the internet. I tried.
*store not site. Sorry.

Buyer
You said ups said $300 to ship. This site you can ship the tires for $112.

1:11pm - Buyer
If the tires are junk or something is wrong with them, that they're not worth shipping let me know.

Seller
No. It's going to cost me about 300 now cause PayPal pulled your money out and I didn't have 422 in my account.
I know that's not your problem.
Tires are fine. Maybe a little old but no rot or anything other then the cuts like I said.
They are just sitting in the rafters

2:27pm - Buyer
How much did it cost to ship the rims?
How old are the tires?

2:44pm - Seller
They were 32 and change a piece.
I say old cause they are alittle hard it seems.

3:13pm - Buyer
Are you going to ship the tires through that website?

3:55pm - Seller
I can go down to the ups store and see what they say.

I work for ups and let me say that the prices never go down only up and the cheapest way to ship them is to put them in a box other wise there is an additional handling charge if they will not fit in a box tape them together with a shit load of tape and make them 1 pkg I shipped 4 ss 10 spoke wheels and tires last year from FL to CA for about 225 250 don't remember the exact price it was 2 boxes 2 wheels and tires per box

Thanks for the info tleed. I highly doubt he'll send the tires.

All caught up... this seller is a pos and a conartist. If u have not cancelled the claim... dont. He still owes u the tires u paid for...correct? Or did i understand that paypal sent u a refund?
