Since I am new here, this certainly isn't the right way to get into the turbo crowd but I am fed up at this point. For someone who pays to sell parts on here, this is unacceptable. I know I'm not the only one to go through this dance with James aka ttaowner. Here is a timeline of our $300 transaction for an 87 GN bumper & steel inner structure:
Friday, October 17, 2014- I texted James in search of a bumper. We came to a deal on the terms he would hold the bumper for me until I can get a MO and fedex account setup. (per his request) He took my word, and I kept it.
Saturday, October 18, 2014- I sent the money order like I said I would.
Monday, October 20, 2014- I set up my Fedex account (again, per his request) and sent my account over to him.
October 21, 2014- James sends me a text letting me know my money order arrived.
and that the end of our conversations.... no response to texts, calls, etc... Up until last week I gave the benefit of the doubt something came up in his personal life. I understand this is a hobby and isn't top priority in everyone's life.

I respond in post #9, he responds in post #15. So then he goes and sends the other guys part out but not mine? Seriously? Now for those of you who may be thinking an intercooler is easier to ship then a bumper, your right, BUT James sent me pictures of him boxing up a QUARTER PANEL to ship, and he told me his shop is right across the street from a fedex store! His exact quote "full quarter sent to Texas so bumpers are not an issue lol"
If he communicated throughout this process, I would never have had a problem with the shipping delay, but this is ridiculous.. I have no other choice to go public with this. The last thread complaining about James started a pissing war between the parties involved. This is not my intention, all I want is the parts I paid for shipped out by the end of the week. I think that is pretty fair considering its been over 3.
