I have purchased several things from the Triumph and Spitfire lists. I
believe, really, that all the British car nuts are really the same.
Basically good honest, helpful people. I believe the way to handle it is to
privately email him one more time and let him/her know that you expect the
item you purchased shipped promptly. Wait a reasonable amount of time for
shipping, (one week?) and then publish his/her name to the list if you do
not receive the item. Let them know that this is what you plan to do. You
should really let us, the list, know who this person is so that we will not
get stiffed as well. But give them one last chance. Things do come up, but
several months is totally inexcusable. Let him/her know, and then let us
know.

Subject: Purchase From List Member ;(
Hello again.
On another note, I have a small problem. I bought a item for my car from
an active list member several months ago. I sent the check on March 29th.
S/he cashed the check in early April, After several weeks, and no item, I
emailed him/her (April 12th). They emailed with a reasonable excuse, prompt
delivery promised.
Several emails back and forth till my last email went unanswered. Now I'm
not sure what to do. S/he seems perfectly apologetic, and nice, and s/he
regularly contributes to the list. But 2 months is a long time for a part
bought from a list member. I know of at least one other person who has
bought something from him/her and not received it yet. Same time frame....
Anyone else ever face this? What did you do? ANyone else have any
"pending" parts out there with a similar time frame?
Sorry to bomb the list with this crap....
Mike
