Let me tell you what a great guy Neck Breaker. I told him that I would sell him a splitter for $xxx shipped. When I found out the shipping was 75% of the selling price, he gave me a pass.

I learned my lesson, make sure you understand freight cost before saying you will do it and always treat people the way you would want to be treated.

Yep. There are decent people around. Hopefully others see us that way when we are the person showing a little grace.

Thanks Tim!

I live in a shipping dependent State....run into all kinds...but only a few really stand out as greedy crook and the opposite will help all they can to complete an excellent sale experience.

Here was the "Bad" one:

I ordered few small parts that can fit into a small USPS FLAT RATE shipping box...so I asked...parts guy in this forum vender GM parts supply told me they don't do USPS FLAT RATE....so I thought they ship using FedEx or UPS Overnight...I agreed the $29 shipping charge...package received was in a small USPS Flat Rate Box. So I called...the Boss answered...practically yelled over the phone line and repeatedly insisted that I "Agreed" on the shipping charge:





An extremely unpleasant individual!
