Over two years ago, Wed Feb 27, 2013 at 4:17 pm to be exact, I posted an ad looking for a Champagne wiper switch. I have waited and waited and waited to find one. My salvation came in the form of Boesen, a week ago. He sent me an email, explained that he had the part I needed, and would be listing it soon. He sent a ton of pictures, then found me on Facebook so we could communicate. From there he sent me a ton more pictures, and offered to pull any other brown parts I needed. I bought a brown steering wheel I didn't need (but will look good on my wall) and my Unicorn, the oft coveted brown blinker/wiper switch. He takes paypal, and shipped lightning fast. I mean that kind of lightning that blows your house up and you don't even have any idea for like six minutes, about the time you regain consciousness and wonder where your house went. That kind of speed. He stayed in constant contact, and sent me all the tracking information, and knew when It was at my house before I did. When I got home, and found this box, I was amazed. Nothing since the dawn of time has ever been packaged that well. If a baby had been mailed in that box, he would have showed up no worse for the wear, maybe a little cranky, but un injured, I promise you. Buy something from him, and I swear you wont be disappointed. Best Samba experience I have had in the decade + I have been here.

Hey Buddy

Lighten up on the plastic wrap. This guy knows how to pack things, that's for sure. This switch was so well packed I was about to give up getting it out of its wrapping.
It was boxed in cardboard and then shrink wrapped,then packed in bubble wrap and then packed in a box with styrofoam chunks and more bubblewrap.
Needless to say it arrived just fine. This is my second purchase in 2 weeks, first was a Power window regulator and assoc parts and second was a C/C switch.
I'll be watching this guys auctions, he ha some cool stuff.

Thank you everyone for the kind words and for your purchases.

Yes I package well Laughing I box/package/unpackage high end handmade furniture for a living. So I can package extremely well. I just want to make sure things arrive in one piece. Maybe I do put a tad bit more than most into them. Laughing

About a week ago i posted a question on bay pride facebook group. The discussion lead to talk about thernostat and the fact that i didnt have one and couldnt find the parts. He took it upon himself and offered me the thermostat bracket for free in exchange for the shipping fee. Item arrived today. From davenport usa to gatineau quebec canada in about a week. Wich is an awsome shipping speed. Great seller and great guy. Will not hesitate to deal with again Wink

Thanks again bud. Your a life saver

Shawn can really pack, he loves bubble wrap and plastic wrap. Laughing You don't have to worry about your items being damaged in transit. Shawn described the 1973 ice box drip trays and jump seat back exactly the condition they were in. He also went out of his way to give me the measurements of the trays, they fit just right. The jump seat did not fit because it was my fault. I thought it would fit my 1972 jump seat I did not know they were different oh well. Shawn is a great guy to buy from his prices are good and communication is too. I hope to buy from him again Thanks Shawn. Very Happy

Laughing Thanks Styx. Glad I could help. I take great pride in the parts I sell to people and want to make sure they arrive unharmed to any buyer. I myself have gotten items from some major VW vendors that barely had any packaging protection and were broken. Not going to happen here. I guarantee that. Well glad I could help and thanks for the feedback. More parts going up after the Thanksgiving holiday. Some really good ones too. Give me a shout anytime if you need anything.

Shawn rocks!!!

Not only did he price a spare tire cover for a bay window reasonably (seen the prices of vintage VW stuff skyrocketing the past 3 years!!!) but he packed it extremely well and shipped it quickly. Believe it was less than 1 week from time of purchase to the time it showed up on my porch. Item was just what I wanted....typical vintage parts at reasonable pricing.

I will watch Shawn and see what other stuff he posts....and I hope to buy from him again. A super guy and an asset to The Samba.

Thanks Shawn!!!

Thanks for the kind words. I always try to be fair with pricing, if I dont need the parts anymore I figure pass it on. I'm not out to make it rich on parts sales. Just some extra pocket change to help fund my upgrades or put some food on the table so to speak.

Ordered a bus heater fan a few days ago. It arrived today (FAST!) in good condition and packed to survive anything! Thanks Shawn for the fast, smooth, accurate transaction.

Glad to hear thanks for the kind words and review. I always take pride in packaging items so they survive most anything, shipping items out quickly and providing good quality used parts at fair price not break the bank prices like most people sell things for nowday. And I always keep the buyers in the loop along the way. THANKS again to all and Happy Holidays to all.

Literally can't count the amount of parts I've gotten from Shawn.. I wouldn't be on the road if it weren't for him. In fact I have 2 more on the way right now. If you want it and he has it, then don't bother looking anywhere else. Everything he sells is OVER packaged, UNDER priced, and arrives well AHEAD of when you would think it should!!

I bought 2 items from this seller...

A wiper switch/turn signal switch combo for a baywindow bus and a glove box door for a bay...

This seller keeps you informed throughout the whole packaging and shipping process...he includes pics and tracking numbers

He is extremely professional and goes the extra mile to ensure that the items ordered are packaged with care and fully supported.

I will be checking his classified page often
