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.

Thanks Mike.
Len, i honestly keep forgetting to get the lug nuts out of the drawer they are in and send them. Also since you brought the duration to ship the wheels I really have no choice but to mention this. My wife took the wheels Fargo check you sent to our bank M&T where they requested we take the check to the bank it was drawn on. She took it to Wells Fargo in Olney MD and they said they could not cash the check and recommended she contact the issuer and request a good time for her to bring the check back. So she took it back to our bank and deposited it anyway. The check did clear but our bank recommended we we wait ten days before shipping.

I took the wheels to a pack and ship store where the wheels sat for close to a week while I thought they had been shipped. I only realized they had not when Len contacted me about them and an update. The pack and ship was trying to send them freight which was not what I requested. I drove back to the store picked them up bought packing and strapping material and scheduled the delivery and pickup online. The UPS account was new to me which I had opened for just this reason. When the UPS guy came we had to void and print the labels again.

Either way Len should receive his lug nuts and the timely shipping of what he bought is my responsibility.
Also I would accept a check from Len again. I have never much trusted what banks tell me and it always seems they try as hard as they can not to cash or honor a check if you don't have an account with them.

Another Wells Fargo customer here with a similar story. Two weeks ago I deposited a $1200.00 check in their ATM. A message popped up saying this check may be returned and that there would be a service fee attached if so. I had never seen this before so I took it inside and was told the same thing. Not wanting to piss off a customer w/ a returned check charge (they are long time customers) I placed a "courtesy call" to ask if I should hold the check for a few days. They told me to run it thru; that acc't had over $7k in it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I got egg on my face with that one. Also a little tip. Chase charges you to cash one of their clients checks if you do not have a bank acc't with them. However, if you have a Chase CC they will waive the fee. Glad to see this is working out for the best. Rant over.
