Paid Don for a bus turn signal switch 10 Oct and emailed him 25 Oct, wondering the status: received one word reply: "tomorrow." Now, as of 10 Nov, waiting on another response about the status, one month after payment.
Hoping Don will come through as it looked to be a nice TS switch. If he comes through, I'll update accordingly. As for now, I advise potential buyers NOT to pay him Friends and Family, as I already would have initiated a dispute. After dozens of these transactions, Don has been the only one not to fulfill his end of the deal. _________________ ,,Wenige Menschen denken, und doch wollen alle entscheiden.'' -der Alte Fritz

I purchased a 66 flasher switch. Don shipped it quickly and looked good. Would use again. |

Well, It seems i've been another Don's victim.
I bought this item here from him:
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1428166
Paid $45 for it, shipped, on the 15th December. Never received it. It can happen but i've contacted him twice to let him know. I asked if he had sent it, and if so, if he could send me the shipping track number...he hasn't even bothered to respond to my emails. It's a shame really...
Be aware before sending him money via Paypal!!! |

Hello Don,
Sorry to hear about your mom. You did a great job looking after her. Glad she's doing fine. Of course, we accept your apologies.
Thanks for the refund. Take care.

I screwed up mailing a part that Don had purchased from me on samba, I sent it to the wrong address.some folks would be pretty pissed and not very empathetic, but Don is one of the old school ethical few that understands how shit can go wrong.He even left me a positive feedback ! I will do business with this dude anytime.forever grateful,Deano. |

I purchased an ignition switch from Don a month ago. It has yet to be delivered. I notified him and he acknowledged that email but has not responded further about sending me the part or refunding me.
I've been left with no option but to escalate thru Paypal. What a waste of time!!

I wouldn't stress; it's only been almost seven months for me...never received any definitive confirmation that it shipped, no tracking or picture of shipping receipt. Just that it shipped, then the next day asking for my address again, then comms blackout again.
I know he said he was dealing with personal stuff, but who knows. I hope these posts serve as a warning, where some have had luck and others not.

Still waiting for a set a thermostat flaps. Don responded to my first inquiry explaining that he “forgot” to ship and now he isn’t responding. Buyer beware. Never use Friends or Family unless a person is actually a friend or family. |

Got refund via paypal today. I did not use friends and family, I was ok to gross up 4% to the price (and in any case, Paypal version avail here does not offer friends and family).
Buyer beware -- don't know whether it is circumstance or lack of integrity in the seller -- either way - not a seller to do business with currently. _________________ 1971 1302LS Convertible (RHD) owned since '74
