calling out forum members
well, not by name anyway.
a few months back, i offered some stuff up to those who were interested. freebies, all i asked was to pay for shipping. needless to say, i had takers.
granted it took me a few weeks to get some of the things in the mail but everything went out. my return address was clearly marked on the boxes as was the postage.
to date, i have received ZERO dollars in return. i haven't received e-mail or I/M from any of the recipiants asking for info about paying.
i have done business with a few members here before with absolutely no problems, even in amounts in the thousands of dollars. i'm disappointed some people haven't even made the effort to live up to their end of the bargain for a few measily dollars in shipping.

Wow that suckzora Man....people nowadays just don't care about others....
It was very nice of you to offer them, and take the time to package and ship them without asking for the postage up front. Very honorable, hope the receivers live up to their end.

Jc, thanks but i'm not worried about $30-40 in shipping. it is the priciple though. i'm just disappointed that every one of the members just shook off the deal. i'm sure one or two of them are out there still.

Free or not, I wouldn't ship anything without $$ first. Cash & carry, even if its for the shipping.

Sorry some people are so inconsiderate and ungrateful.
This is not the same forum it was a few years back. Lot of different people.
A long time forum member told me he sent out some free parts to another forum member a couple of months ago and never even received a thank you.

I would like to know who these people are??? Are they in Florida? If they want to be as#holes by not paying the freight. They should be known to all forum members. You where taking advantage of. People like this need to be embarrassed and humiliated for being so friggin cheap.
