Today I received a pair of Shimano shoes from Shrevvy, and a set of 105 8 speed DT levers from Rccardr. Both items are as they were described, like brand new. It was good business doing the transactions with them, good communication and prompt shipping. Both items were purchased at very fair pricing. I have purchase a number of items from members recently and they have all been exceptional buying experiences. Thanks to all.

Thanks so much to @Insidious C. for the free blue Trek frame. Super stand-up guy, first of all he gave me this frame, second he was very communicative and willing to let me create a shipping label and send it to him, and third it was packed well and shipped without delay. Could not be happier.

I have had a interaction with a member here that contacted me about selling a part. I agreed to his price but because of PP transaction fees on my end (cross border) I wanted to cheap out and we agreed to a money order on receipt of part. When I traveled the ~60 miles to the USA drop box while on other business the parcel was not there and I contacted them to which they said it was sent and they already PM'd me a tracking number (which I did not get). I told them I was going back there and to please send again the tracking number and they respond they would do so. I had left it at that and after 7 days he sent me a message asking if it was received but still no tracking. Being busy it took me a couple days but I phoned the store to see if the package arrived and still it was not there. His last responds to me seemed a bit inflamed and I offered to send him payment regardless of actually getting the part or not if he would simply give me the tracking number. He claims that he sent it before but for some reason unknown to me will not do so again. In all of the nested responses of the PM's not once is there a USPS tracking number but he is adamant that it arrived at the post box on the 20'th of May. I gave him the phone number of the business that does the package recieving and I did tell him that I would post all the private messages if this was not resolved. I am reluctant to do this though because I don't actually know if an honest mistake was made or if he is a thief. I just want the tracking number. I have not heard from them in some time. Should I just let this drop and forget about it? Sorry for the sudo rant and please delete if not appropriate.

I have 7 messages in my PM sent box regarding the Tracking number for USPS: 9505 5149 8927 9137 1019 18. Each of those messages also shows that the tracking search shows the package having been delivered on 5/20/19 at 8:44 a.m. I have also repeatedly asked for confirmation that the package was or was not received and was not given this info until 6/5/19 when the OP relayed in a PM that the package had not been delivered there. The only person that is out anything is myself. I paid for the shipping, I sent the product, reported as delivered. He says he did not receive, fine, I am out the $9.50 for postage and I am out the $10.00 cost of the freewheel. What else can I do? Anybody, Please track the above number and relay it to the OP. PLEASE!

"Additional Information
Your item has been delivered to an agent at 8:44 am on May 20, 2019 in HOULTON, ME 04730"
Please don't post any PM's, as that would likely result in a perma-ban.
Surely this can be resolved amicably.

From my perspective, this is done and over with. If you received the freewheel, just keep it if that will appease you. I have written off your payment to me as a lost cost with no blame. Let's just move on.

Many thanks to @abshipp. He brought his Schwinn Passage frame to a midway point, which I thought was really nice considering he didn't want a lot for it. It's a great frame in really fine condition. A great transaction. Good price, good communication, no surprises. Highly recommended.

Great to meet you as well, @abshipp. I'm looking forward to building this frame up when the temps get a little cooler. It's gonna be the flagship!

purchase from chico81
A couple of months ago I bought a Raleigh Peak Mountain Bike from chico81. I posted a thank you to him in the for sale thread but I just realized it would be most appropriate to do that in this thread, as this is where someone might most likely search for feedback on a forum member. Ian did a tremendous job restoring the bike and it is as close to like new as a 28 year old mountain bike can be. He was quick to answer questions and send additional photos. It was packed very well and arrived in perfect shape. He did a great job of communicating throughout the process. I would recommend a purchase from Ian to anyone based on my experience.

Purchase from SamSpade1941
I recently purchased a Diamondback Ascent Mountain Bike frame from SamSpade1941 and it was a great transaction. Ryan did a good job of accurately describing the frame. The price and shipping costs were very fair. It was very well packed and arrive in great shape. He even included a Shimano bottom bracket with the frame set. He communicated well throughout the process. Thanks for a good deal Ryan.
