lost a donk in the post

[jimg1au]

a few years back a mate of mine imported a car from the usa and the container was lost
it turned up on a dock in china what was a 3 month turnaround buy and ship turned into 8 months but he got his car
i have had things posted from russia and they get here at least it is trackable if they know its in dubai

don't have the details close at hand but I do know 2 prominent people in the VMX community have made comments on FB recently re lack of protection when asked to send something as a gift or to a friend through paypal - apparently protections and significantly less then.

I heard of that, and yep got me real worried, all went over time, aussie post red flagged it, no responce from seller so I simply started panicing
But have made contact had a good chat with the seller, he is looking into it, its insured and will say things are looking heaps better now, I now feel for the seller as it stands right now he is the poor bastard caught in the middle
But I am still a scepticle old bastard and still a bit worried as my Baby is out there some where lost :'(
I will try not to get too emotional but Im still gunna keep a real good look out and I have learnt something
Thanks All

As soon as the seller ask too pay through pay pal as a friend alarm bells should start ringing,

the way it is done the seller gets his money ie 400.00 us if that was the cost and you pay the fees done it hundreds of times
i hate selling something for 100.00 and only geting 90.00 from paypal.
last time i did it this way the box arrived in two weeks from N.V. in the usa

Yeah i am curious as to how you got a motor sent here via USPS too. Was it sent as one unit or packed in separate boxes? Either way it must of cost a lot? back when the USPS flat rate large boxes were $55 i got a complete YZ490 bottom end shipped in one of those boxes and then the top end in another box so it was roughly $150 USD all up. The YZ has small compact cases though and many engines would be too big for the flat rate box.

twas complete bottom end with spare parts as well
