How long would you wait?

[Jim Nilsen]

The last time I spoke with was on Halloween and that is when he said give him a couple of days, but I didn't hear anything back from him so I called back last Friday the 7th and left a message. I'm not trying to unjustly accuse him of anything but I at least expect him to call back or send me a pm or email with an update. The freight company quoted him a price for regular ground. Whe he went to ship it they told him it would have to go truck freight. Thats when the problem started.I suggested trying greyhound or I gave him a higher price that I would go up to. That amounted to another 75.00 which would cover all but 50.00 of the new total price. I can buy it here local for that price so I was willing to bump up that high if he was willing to drop his price.I also told him that I didn't expect him to just give it to me so I understand if he doesn't want to go any lower. The other option was a refund and call it done he said to give him a couple of days to figure it out I said no problem. I would gladly have gone to the depot to pick it up had it gone to the wrong address. I may have his phone # but he won't answer or return my calls. I've been polite and cordial in my messages that I have left him by just asking for a update on how it's going. Hopefully this will clarify what I meant in my original post.

Thanks for the rest of the story and setting the time frame better.

If you can get one that you can see and pickup you will be better off at any price difference. Damage is always going to happen in shipping when it doesn't come in a factory style crate.

Getting your money back and moving on would be best for the both of you at this point from what I have ever experienced. I just hope he doesn't try to get a restocking fee or something ,throwing more fuel on the already heating up fire. He is probably wishing he never said he could ship it and now has lost face to own up to it.

Goodluck
