Bought a T2 spindle from Mike. There were some hiccups along the way, but everything worked out in the end. He really helped a brotha out. Thanks, Mike! _________________ "My biggest worry is that when I die, my wife will sell all my parts for what I told her I paid for them"-Jon

Just posting to inform of the 'hiccups'
The address provided to me for Jer-Fab did not include the unit # of the shop. Fed- ex tried to deliver but could not, called jer-fab to get the unit # for fed-ex to deliver. Got it but it was too late and the package was already on its way back.
Got the package back, got the right address and overnighted the package to Jer-Fab free of charge from Fed-ex.
Glad I could help Chris! _________________ OGJHC

Mike was great to buy from. He kept in close contact with me the whole time. I picked up a pedal car from him at a pretty fair price. He shipped the item the same day that he got the money order and I would definately buy from him again if he has something that I want/need. |

Mike is great to deal with. I bought a part from him and there was a small issue. Mike came through with flying colors and made it right. Thanks! |

Has anyone heard from Mike recently? Shortly after I posted the feedback above, I mailed him a Thing exhaust system with the agreement that he would either pay me cash or we'd work out a trade deal for some parts. I mailed the muffler on June 28th and now I can't get him to reply to PMs or emails. |

Mike is a stand up guy! I just purchased a bumper from him, and the shipping company I sent out to him stood him up twice. Mike also tried to save me money by asking if there was somewhere he could take the bumper to help out. Everything came out great and I'm very happy! Thanks Mike |

I hate to do this, but since Mike won't reply to my emails or PMs so I'm kind of out of options. I know Mike is a long time member of theSamba, and I have had good dealings with him in the past.
On June 28th, I mailed a Thing exhaust system that I had advertised to Mike on good faith - we agreed he would either pay me the $80 for the exhaust or send me parts of an equivalent value from a Thing he was parting out.
We had contact on 7/7, 7/13, 8/12, and 8/25. Each time there were assurances that the parts were being shipped, or the money was being mailed, or that his computer was down, etc. Neither money nor parts ever arrived. In the past week, I've both emailed and PMed him - those messages were ignored.
Mike, I know you're a good guy, but it's time to step up and either send me the money or parts. We're going on 3 months here. |

Another week, no replies to my emails or PMs. However, Mike still visits the site and posts in the forums.
I really find it hard to believe a long-time member of this site would risk his reputation for a palty $80. I guess no good deed goes unpunished. |

Just bought some smoothie rims from Mike. The family and I drove down to pick them up, very nice guy and even cut me some more slack with the price. Got a free bug fender out of the deal too. I would deal with him anytime. Thanks Mike. |

Two more weeks. No payment, no parts, no contact at all.
However, when I posted above (on September 20th), Everett contacted Mike and told him to resolve the issue. That same day, Mike wrote the following (to Everett, not me):

sorry ev, i just sent his stuff off this morning.

According to the USPS, a parcel post package mailed from Middlesburg FL to my location would take approximately 7 days. Since it's been 14 days, I can only assume Mike is now lying to Everett as well.
Just FYI, the last time Mike contacted me was August 25th. |

Thanks to some intervention from Everett, I finally received payment today. As far as I'm concerned, the matter is closed. |

Just thought I'd add this.. I posted some pics of my rusted out seats and asked what I should do with them. Mike stepped up and said he had a pair for me. Went the extra distance of stripping off the old covers, took some pics and e-mailed them to me. He even worked out transportation from FLA for me via another samba member. On top of all that he threw in a rear facing seat cushion...for nothing. Mike is a real stand up guy, would not hesitate to do business with him in the future. Thanks again Mike! _________________ 63 T1 Ragtop Gulf Blue

I placed a WTB ad and Mike was the first and only one to respond. He had what I was looking for and was even flexible on the price. The part arrived within three-four days. Awesome!!! |

why am I reading this here without any email from you on this? I sent you two rear vent windows( 1 bieng perfect and one missing one tab that is easily fixed) Both frames which were not in great condition but could make one from two. For $60 shipped.
Just for the record, I was offered $50 for just the one perfect one by another buyer, so in no way do I think you got burned.
You could have emailed me and mentioned something?? I have access to more and could have done something to ensure a buyers happiness?
thanks. _________________ OGJHC
