New Guy Lesson Learned
kind of new to forum and just learned a valuable lesson...
"As long as you buy from a supporting vendor you will be taken care of"
I wasn't aware of "supporting vendor" status and ordered bumper screen mesh from corvette mods. Item shows as delivered on USPS but I never received it. Now I'm trying to work through PayPal and eBay for a refund. To summarize what vender said...to bad so sad. Let me tell you, if I was trying to scam somebody it would be for a hell of a lot more than $23.99. I may have to write this one off and order from someone else (supporting vendor).
I tried to work a shipping deal "free shipping" while my wife was in California visiting family and then she could bring it back in suitcase on way home. I guess now I'll have to pay shipping to Hawaii

The vendor has a responsibility to deliver you the parts you paid for. If they did not fulfill that obligation, PayPal will refund your money.
USPS is cheap, but the most unreliable mode of shipping.

Just a word on USPS after waiting for a part for OH. to TX. 14 days later I got it ,tried to talk to them around 10 days after the part was shipped said : We will not look into this until 14 days after its shipped . I now ask if shipping USPS will pay more for FedX or UPS or horse back ..Just an FYI..

Keep bothering PayPal about it and file a lost report with the USPS
I've had USPS lose two packages (both at our apartment in San Diego, not the house) and both times I had no problem getting a replacement from the company. That's the cost of doing business with USPS.

If you launch a complaint through pay pal they will shut down the guys business until he makes it right which should be no more than 1 day.
They sent me a broken grill then stated the run around as soon as I froze there business account it got their attention quickly.

Go thru PayPal, you'll be surprised how effective they can be...

USPS has gotten very sophisticated in tracking Priority Mail. I called the post office after it said online an item had been delivered and I couldn't find it at the mail box or front door. They pulled up a GPS pic of the delivery with the mail truck parked in the drive that goes around the house and they asked if I had checked the enclosed patio behind the house because the mail truck was parked there in the pic and the item had been packed in a huge box that wouldn't fit in the mail box and there it was sitting on the table in back!!

I sold a set of cats to a guy in IL (I am in VA). USPS tracked them all the way to the post office in his town, and they disappeared. USPS did nothing for me, and all paypal did was take the money back. So I lost my cats, and my $300+. I guess it is partly my fault for not getting insurance. Since that fiasco, I've been very skittish when using USPS. Convenience isn't always worth the trouble.

I'll never do business with Corvette Mods again, they screwed me on a return and basically told me to take a flying hike (after spending a good deal of money with them). Also, their shipping prices are absolutely ridiculous anyhow. Their "great prices" are not so great after they stick you with their inflated shipping/handling fee's.

this company has had quite a few negative threads in the transactions/feedback section... most of them have been deleted or locked up but that alone will keep me away, if they were doing good business those threads wouldn't even pop up... glad the op got his money back

I have done business with corvette modz also in the past and it was a HUGE mistake!!! I won't get into the particulars, but I will NEVER give them my business again or recommend them to anyone either.
