I just won a like-new UE Lightning Chassis for $416!!!

[Chadworkz]

He used standard shipping, so no tracking number available.

If these guys think I got scammed (besides what it looks like, I do trust them all), then I am sure I did get scammed, so I will go ahead and start the process of getting my money back.

[Arct1k]

Thats tricky... I'd never accept less than priority with tracking for anything over $25 let alone $400....

Sounding fishy...

[Chadworkz]

Thanks for your help.

When you say 'standard shipping'... do you mean USPS? If so... the shipper/merchant still gets a 'Delivery Confirmation number' on their receipt... so send him a mail and ask for it.

[Chadworkz]

Yea, USPS Parcel-Post. I have shipped a few things using Parcel-Post, and have never gotten/seenn a delivery confirmation number...do you have to request it?

I have emailed him now a couple times, no replies yet...

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

hmmm... for $416... I would like to know the movements of my purchase... keep sending mails... maybe you have to request when you send a parcel...
I assume there is always some sort of tracking for USPS to keep updates for themselves... or I may be wrong... but, for $416, I would have requested another
shipping service with insurance.

tricky situation. My advice...aka my rule of thumb, is to never deal with people with under 99% feedback. Hasent bitten me in the butt yet.


I hope you get your package and even if its the wrong picture, that he sends you a product of equivalent condition. Or.....paypal dispute and get your money back. Go read through the buyer protection policy and make sure you have your bases covered. That think has changed so much i don't know whats what anymore. Best of luck!

[Chadworkz]

Thanks Alien & Andrew, I appreciate your input.

I for one hope you did not get screwed...i am just saying that he used my pic trust me i know a few things about UE parts i have a few..as for the last set of vbs i bought those from robin he ended up selling them on ebay and i was the winning bidder and recieved them and they were new indeed...My gut says he will still send you a lightning as for if he does not i have his contact info from when i sold him the hcr truck with vbs and so on so if you end up needing it LMk

[sweetride4me]

Nobody wants you to get screwed over ... just saying every dealing I have had with sportsam and the photo's, etc add up to be no good in my book... maybe we will all be suprised and it will turn out great for you Chad... we can only hope

Thanks, I appreciate it...and I hate it that he stole and used your pics, that's just wrong. I have messaged him requesting new pics of the actual chassis, with proof that he actually has one, if he really has one...maybe he will respond. Just the fact that he stole your pics and used them to show the item he was selling, even if he has a Lightning for real, make me not want anything from him at all. If he really does have a Lightning, and it is in great condition, he would have taken pics of it...not stole pics of a different chassis. Anyway, I guess time will tell, but I will keep you guys updated on what he says and what happens.

Yea, this adds up to no good in my book as well.

well i know he did have a lightnig a few months ago because when i sold the hrc truck to him he asked if i had a set of tranny mounts for a lightning he picked up, i never saw a pic of his chassis but he was trying hard to get my extra set of tranny mounts because he said ppl did not want to buy the chassis without the mounts..i personally think the rcm cd mount looks awsome on the lightning and if i bought a lightning without the mount i would be fine with that so if you do get his chassis without mount just look at the bright side and go rcm cd mount
