I bought a pair of dated original shocks for my 71 TA. Scheduled USPS delivery was to be Dec.18th. Still MIA. I don't believe the eBay seller insured them and is giving me every excuse there is

I bet they'll still show. I had NOS mats shipped USPS 2 day priority that took at least 14 days, to arrive. Tracking was all but "dead" online, and continued to indate they would be delivered by December 7th right up until they were delivered weeks later.
Keep the Faith!!

I'm still waiting for a pair of NOS lens's I bought from the 427 king on December 13th sent usps.


UPS and FedEx both have a "cheap" shipping option, sometimes called Smart Post, to use the usps to get a package to it's final destination and it sucks. They usually don't reveal that before purchase and we have renamed this service Stupid Post.



Shipping insurance ?? My take on that is, they make it sound good, until you need to make a claim and THEN all the loop holes they have built in are a nightmare to work thru. And Chuck is right, they don't hesitate to take the money for said insurance, but they don't see any need to pay a legitimate claim.



Ebay's "buyer protection" is a deception of words. It really means, they will protect the SELLER from any claim made by the buyer. Not worth the bandwidth space it takes on a server.

My Inline Tube parts made it back to Iowa but have been sitting in Des Moines since 12/21/20 so I'm at 4 weeks and counting. Ironically I bought a couple relays from a guy in Eugene, OR on 12/21/20 and they arrived yesterday and came through the Des Moines USPS office too.

Same thing has happened to me thru USPS. . Part ordered from Chicago and ended up on the East Coast. Took 3 to 4 weeks to finally arrive. Tough times with all this stuff going on.

My parts shipped out of Des Moines over the weekend and are now back in Michigan where they were originally shipped from 4 weeks ago and still show an expected arrival date of 12/12/20.
