TravisMcGill2000, Extremely POOR person to deal with

This is only the 2nd time in 14 years that I've had to leave bad feedback for someone......

Extremely poor person do deal with! Sold a used forged crankshaft to Travis. Three (3) weeks to receive payment after saying he would take it. While the crank was at my engine builder, he could not remove my timing gear since his hydraulic press was down. Travis couldn't wait and requested the crank be sent and that he would have my timing gear pulled and send it back to me. I spent almost $20 in bubble wrap to ship the crank along with taking the time to construct a 4-wall thick cardboard box to ensure that the crank had maximum protection during shipping.

Weeks (3+) had passed and I had not received any correspondence giving me an update on my timing gear. Multiple emails sent to Travis over a 4-5 week period requesting information on when I would receive the timing gear. I received one (1) email back saying that he sent the gear. Nothing had arrived.

Then, one day about 6 weeks after shipping the crankshaft, an empty paper envelope showed up in my mailbox. To my complete shock, this guy actually shipped the timing gear in a paper letter envelope and thought it would arrive safely! Needless to say, a piece of steel is not going to stand a chance in a paper letter envelope. Easily the most idiotic thing I've experienced in buying/selling with over 700 guys over the past 12 years.

Two additional emails were sent to him (with pictures) following the arrival of the empty paper envelope requesting that he address this situation of negligence. Both were obviously ignored. It's nice to know that I can spend $15 in bubble wrap and 30 minutes to build a custom box to protect his purchase, yet he attempts to ship my steel timing gear in a paper letter envelope.

I now have a pricey LT4 Extreme Duty timing set that is un-usable since the timing gear alone is no longer available for purchase separately.

Steer clear from this guy.

Crap. Sorry to see this Jason.

That sounds like some ban-worthy material there...

In this case, the thought doesn't count. I hate when people get screwed on deals.

GA to NY, I doubt they were pin pals. Just a messed up deal in too many ways.

[gunters96lt1]

Wow, bummer deal. I can personally vouch for Jason when he says he ships things well.

TravisMcGill2000 - Think you have some 'splaining to do or else your ability to buy/sell things on this site should be revoked.

Hey Larry,
Hope all is well with you! Yes, this deal was made on this board about 3-4 months ago. Thankfully, 95% of the people on this (and other LT1/LS1 sites) are great to deal with. I was actually LESS upset when I thought that he just didn't send it back at all. The final straw for me on this deal was that he actually tried to ship a 1lb metal component (with "teeth") in a paper envelope. That is just unreal and I've never seen anything like that in 12+ years of buying/selling on the forums.

I went to great lengths (and extra cost out of my pocket) to ensure that his $250 crank (not even $1000+ cranks are packaged as well as this one) would be safe even if it was thrown off the back of a truck onto the ground. Now I am left with a useless LT4 Extreme Duty timing set since you can no longer purchase just the crank sprocket :(

He was online 15 minutes ago. If he doesn't have something to say today, then he is most likely dodging the issue.

Thanks for your support on this. I've been in contact with Travis and we are working on a resolution.

[TravisMcGill2000]

Jason I apologize again on the mishap. Like I said in my pm. I cant believe my wife would ship it in a paper envelope. If I was at home this would have never happened. jcznova thank you for showing me the link to this thread. Ive bought and sold a lot of things on this site and this is my first issue. It will never happen again. I will not buy or sell anything unless im at home. That way I can handle these situations the right way. Again I apologize.
