Warning about SpecialInt, Be careful in dealing with this guy Options

[Big Len]

I'm not saying not to do business with him, but be very careful.

Bought a set of wheels w tires after sending a check which was cashed. A full month of excuses about shipping followed after not hearing from him. Finally, after repeated messages and finally threatening to call the local P.D., got them without lug nuts which were part of sale. I've given up on getting the nuts and I personally would not buy from this person again unless I could drive there and pick up. Be very careful.

in think i bought the door cards from you. no probs. sent you a USPS money order and received the parts. i'd get a new bank. my bank accepts personal checks made out to me all the time. cashing checks at the bank that the check(s) are drawn on works but a fee is usually charged. using a they pack and ship store is too expensive and it has to come out of your end or the buyers. they charge and if they don't ship in a timely fashion the buyer gets unhappy, pm/emails start flying, frustration and paranoia set in, and the whole deal goes south in a hurry.

here's how to ship wheels. free boxes from my local tire store, 2 per box, iirc about $37 per box via USPS with the online est. i use a 10001 zip if i don't have the real one and thats the shipping cost.

Your right about the banks however my relationship with my bank is very good and I believe they felt it would not clear.
These wheels had tires so I strapped them together in two sets of two with mega zip ties then padded and wrapped them with the big plastic wrap rolls used for moving.

Oh which reminds me I sold a set of chrome repro Fuchs to a fellow on here as well a few weeks back. They had no tires and i used the boxes they came in to me.

I have some cool wheel boxes from years of buying wheels.
I actually have boxes that Fuchs wheels came in from porsche and boxes that Fuchs were sent to a supplier in Germany called Luk (I think) for some reason maybe a supply depot or something.

Thanks for the tips on shipping
