How would you guys approach this problem?
I was just curious how you guys would approach a problem I ran into tonight on another forum.
On a model specific forum I made a deal to trade parts in exchange for the use of a member's resale discount (15%) to purchase roughly $500 in parts from a third party/manufacturer. After paying shipping($25~ish) for the parts I sent him I probably saved a total of 50 bucks on the parts I ordered from the manufacturer.
I ordered parts from the vendor in March of 2006. I sent my parts to the forum member the same month. I hung out on those forums for a few more months but eventually got bored. I am getting back into my car again and have been on forums. When I logged onto those forums tonight and saw 2 private messages. They were both from the other party involved in the deal. One was from Nov 2007 (18+ months after I shipped him my parts) and the other was Jan 2009 (34 months after my parts shipped) complaining he did not receive the parts I exchange for the use of his discount. He had my phone number but I never received any messages from the guy regarding the parts.
I am going to try and track the parts first thing tomorrow but I know anything that old has been archived on my UPS computer. I doubt I will be able to prove I shipped the parts. I feel bad that the other person involved thinks I stiffed him on the deal.
Not sure what I can do to make him feel better about the situation.
If you were in my situation what would you do? Or if you were the other guy and these parts never showed up what would you expect? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
