young j: Bad experience buying from him
5 Attachment(s)
I picked up some Montego Blue mirrors from member young j which a simple transaction turned into wasted time and money. The mirrors arrived almost 2 months later in a box packaged with absolutely zero care.
The original thread is here where he mentions the mirrors "paint is in good condition no big scratches." I also sent him a PM asking about what year the mirrors came off and his response: "its a 94 Montego blue always washed and waxed " https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...witch-1098765/ Based on the pictures and the response in the PM I figured why not pick up a set of spare mirrors in the right color. Parts are getting harder to find by the day for these cars. Timeline: 4/9/16 I paid for the mirrors via paypal 4/21/16 Some time goes by and I ask for an update to see if the mirrors were shipped. 4/22/16 -He responds on saying "will get you the tracking number today " 4/24/16 -Sends "tracking 782903629443 fed ex" At this point of time I was out of the country and assumed the mirrors would arrive a few days later. No boxes arrived. 5/6/16 He sends a message asking if I got the mirrors. Checking the tracking number shows the box went to California, not IL. 5/7/16 He realizes the boxes got switched at is trying to get a hold of the other party to get the mirrors returned. 5/10/16 I ask for an update as nothing is heard: "just spoke to the pther party , he said hes going send em back to me now ...I will ship em to you with faster shipping at no charge of course. " 5/23/16 I ask for another update: "yup shipping to you tonight!!!!! " 5/25/16 I get an update with the UPS tracking number. Sent via ground, so much for that faster shipping :lol 5/28/16 I get the mirrors after UPS delivers them to the wrong house The negligent packaging and "good condition mirrors with no big scratches." Pictures don't do justice, they are beat up pretty bad. Attachment 611577 Attachment 611578 Attachment 611579 Attachment 611580 Attachment 611581 As you can see the mirrors were not individually wrapped in anything and were constantly smashing against each other in the box. The box was quite large to hold the two mirrors without any packaging material! I sent him a message explaining how disappointed I was in a simple transaction, the mirrors being improperly packaged, and not in good condition as described. His response: "in that case you might want to get in contact with ups man , these things have insurance I packed them well even placed a fragile sticker on the box. " Be careful who you buy from. |
sending young j a PM to address this issue.......

I gave specific updates on the situation and paid for the shipping out of my own pocket . also these are used mirrors off a 22 year old vehicle, they weren't perfect and I never claimed they were ...I stated they were in "good shape"... I even sent you pictures personally and you agreed to . lastly the box being sent to the wrong house wasn't my responsibility, I used the address listed on your paypal account. I appreciate your patience in the situation however I provided you with constant updates , and the mirrors are in perfect working order .. cheers |
lastly you could have sent em back to me for a refund , but you immediately stated you were goign to "make a nice thread" about me.
i guess slandering a good 10 year member is how you do business. |

i guess slandering a good 10 year member is how you do business. Slandering? The situation speaks for itself. A reputable member would never package the mirrors like you did OR respond in the way you did below. You never mentioned any refunds etc... Me in a PM: "Found them, they were delivered to a neighbor. These are in terrible condition, scratched, paint chips etc... The mirrors were banging against each other in the box, they were not even wrapped up! Far from your comments about them coming from a car that was always washed and waxed. This has been a terrible experience. " Your response: "in that case you might want to get in contact with ups man , these things have insurance I packed them well even placed a fragile sticker on the box. " |
yes , gotten in contact with them about banging up the box for one and shipping to the wrong house when I used the address that's clearly on your paypal account.
I guess you threw that address thing in there to help your argument, never once did you ask to resolve the issue with returning them or anything about a a refund you were clearly upset and ready to "make a nice thread about me". no mirrors off a 22 year old car are going to be perfect man.. |

young j---when brekyrself sends the mirrors back to you, and you refund him the full amount, then you've indeed verified that you're a good seller in my book. brek, is this how you'd like to proceed? |

Aside from all the back and forth, this is the right way to do business.

I felt obliged to post here and share my "damaged package" experience with UPS after reading this:
in that case you might want to get in contact with ups man , these things have insurance I packed them well even placed a fragile sticker on the box. The last thing I have to say is for any seller, a damaged package is not the buyer's responsibility, the buyer should take pictures as they open the package and send them to the seller to use when starting a claim with the shipping company. At that time the seller should offer to refund the buyer if the damage is clearly from shipping/packaging when the item is confirmed as picked up for inspection by the shipper. The buyer should decide if they want to take the parts as is, ask for a discount from the seller, or let them go to be inspected by the shipper. |

I filed a claim with UPS after a part I shipped and considered to be packaged very well was dropped (Multiple times) and damaged. The shortened story is it was a shit show that ended with me re-routing the package back to the purchaser after giving a generous discount and having my claim denied. UPS has very stringent packaging requirements you are bound to after increasing the declared value and you are not actually purchasing any "insurance" even though it is portrayed that way. If you don't have 2" MINIMUM cushioning around and between objects in your package (which has to be a properly rated box) they will basically tell you to go pound sand no matter how far you attempt to escalate it. Also, fragile stickers or markings are absolutely meaningless. The last thing I have to say is for any seller, a damaged package is not the buyer's responsibility, the buyer should take pictures as they open the package and send them to the seller to use when starting a claim with the shipping company. At that time the seller should offer to refund the buyer if the damage is clearly from shipping/packaging when the item is confirmed as picked up for inspection by the shipper.

Yep..shipping Companies can really mess up your stuff.
Case and point. Spoiler at the Terminal BEFORE...and then the next pic is how it arrived..in 3 pieces. I did make a claim and got re-imbursed though..(took some footwork,emails and a couple nasty words,but I got refunded for the loss and the shipping) The crazy thing about it is they actually shipped it BACK to me. |
Hey Brek, did you get refunded for shipping as well? Also, did you state which address the mirrors should be shipped to?

Well, if the initial mix up with the address was your fault, I guess that's fair play. If not, then it's a real shame. Also, if it makes you feel any better, I bet that the second time the mirrors were shipped, the difference between faster shipping and ground was close enough where it would not have warranted to ship with a faster method. Maybe young j didn't intentionally lie to you for the sake of saving some bucks.
I'm not concerned with the $18 cost to ship the mirrors back, it's a lesson learned. Now that young j has the mirrors back as of yesterday, well wait to see if a refund comes through. |
young j
Can you confirm receipt of the mirrors? UPS shows delivered on Tuesday. |
I'm currently working out of town but yes my younger brother at home has received a package apparently, I get back in a couple days and I will make sure it's the mirrors and i will refund you.
|
Can we get an Update on this matter?

getting back to town Friday, I work in the oil and gas field I will make sure the package is the mirrors and will issue refund.
|
.....or you could have your brother open it and send a picture of the contents.
Why make him wait for a refund? |

This transaction went South from the Beginning so now you have the Mirrors back in your possession and the Money. The condition of the mirrors would be as they arrived TO HIM..and then HE actually took the time to OVER-WRAP them(as they should have been at least wrapped properly in the first place) and send them back to you. REFUND the man and move on.It's not a big deal.Please Don't make it into one |
Bet we never hear from young j again.
He was on this morning. |

If he wasn't satisfied with the paint and overall condition of the Mirrors,do you really think he would install them and Fudge the motors on them?

Going to open this thread back up as I am having problems with Young J.
I am not surprised to see a thread about Young J in this section of the forums. Thanks to a former Moderator for pointing me in this direction. Just wish I knew about this thread before hand, but saw that his Itrader was good and figured nothing bad about it. This is in regards to one of his for sale threads seen here: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...parts-1131038/ Below is the full Text Message history between us, I have nothing to hide. I stopped replying to him when he had to resort to name calling. I will only now communicate with him over forum for all to see. So I was supposed to get an OEM 94 Rx7 Cassette player from him in exchange for $40 shipped. About week goes by and he does not ship it. I confront him on why its taking so long to ship a radio and his excuse is that he works a full time job and gets tired the rest of the day (or "slammed" as he says it). So I posted in his for sale thread that it needs to be shipped out by Monday or refund my money in full. As of yet I have not gotten a refund and from what the text messages shows, it appears he is going to purposely give me a hard time refunding me. Young J if your reading this, do the right thing and refund me my $40. Only takes a couple minutes tops to log into your paypal account and wire my $40 back to me as friends and family to avoid the fee as I did for you. Edited all the personal info out. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...37298c756f.png https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...54b27668a3.png https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8c794f44a2.png https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...549a633bb6.png https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...8d7de218b3.png https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...006315bba1.png https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5db8eefef8.png https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...f7cea0acfb.png https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...b834dffe90.png https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...457e1fd4bd.png |
Why would you ever use "Family and friends"? You have to play the fee anyway, so just do [item price]*(100/96,5) and you have the full amount including the 3.5% fee, and do payment for goods and services.
If you are asked to do family and friends, that is a give-away that they might be up to no good. |
what a fucking idiot

For comparison. When I bought a set of (home made) 99 spec tail lights for my FD, I didnt want my old stock ones to sit around, so I put up a thread on this club. Posted pics in my thread and everything.
A member here bought them and I sent them away. The arrived fine, but what I didn't notice was a couple broken tabs on the tail lights. The didn't make the lights leak and they weren't even visible once the lights were installed. Apparently I wasn't the only one to take those tail off, because the PO of my car broke a couple tabs on the lights. Anyway, the buyer contacted me with pics of the broken tabs, and I sent his money back. Done & done. No need to send back the tail lights, as I just wanted them gone anyway. I was out 80 bucks or whatever I charged, but my rep is intact, no one made a thread about how shady I am, and I'm able to come on this club and buy parts for my car which is getting more and more rare everyday. YoungJ (who I'm pretty sure I've bought parts from with no issues), if I were you I'd send the guy his money back and call it a loss. If you plan on keeping your 7, it'll be worth it in the long run. |
I guess I really did get scammed. No refund yet. Dude still has the radio he was supposed to ship to me and has my $40. He didnt want to be labeled as a Scammer and yet he did the very thing. I wonder if he is still allowed to sell in the for sale section of the forum. Sure hope not.
|
Look on the bright side, you spend $40 to learn the value of a person, and we're able to put it on display for all to see.
I'd say that's a fairly cheap price to pay for what you got, and the rest of us got a hell of a discount too. |
I had purchased item from him, but I didn't have a good experience,. I received the item, but he shipped it 7 days after receiving the payment. I get impatient when I don't get update of the purchase 4 days after. I got the same answered you did that he was swamped with work and he didn't have time.
I didn't made it big deal, cause I knew I was not going to buy anything from him again. But his attitude is unacceptable. |

I've always lived by this. I think I first heard it from the movie "A Bronx Tale". 40 bucks to never have to deal with him again. |
That's a lot of drama and time wasting for $40, YJ should have never offered the radio if he couldn't ship out within a few days. Why hasn't he refunded the $40?

I think he jumped ship. He will probably wait a little while and make a new profile on here. My $40 is long gone by now... |
Looks like he his still trying to do business over the forum, see below:
https://www.rx7club.com/south-sale-w...tires-1131935/ https://www.rx7club.com/wheels-tires...tires-1131934/ Wonder if he will be using my $40... |
Still nothing about your refund and now he's trying to spend money here? Forget what I said. Ban him.
Is anyone still moderating here? |
^I'll point a mod towards this thread.
|
I have contacted YJ regarding the transaction involving the OEM radio. Will update once I get more information.
FWIW, in general, 7 days is NOT a long time to ship. However, if there are delays, I would hope that updates are provided. You boys and the banning need to simmer down a little ... |
Thanks for checking in on it for me. "Hoping" to get my $40 back.

You can disagree, however there are steps to be followed. I have reached out to get resolution. Thank you. Heil Fuhrer. :icon_tup:
