My 180cc is still not running, i'm missing out on riding in the good weather.
i ordered NGK seals from Joshcloseouts saturday morning, come afternoon it was marked as shipped, i messaged him to ask if he had put it out in the mail and got no reply.
monday was a holiday so no mail BUT the trucks still move the highways delivering to the post offices so him being in NC i should have gotten it on tuesday but i didn't and when i checked tuesday it still hadn't left his location, it is a small padded envelope, how hard can it be to ship?
he lies about the shipping, he will say it shipped and provide tracking, a couple days later you see it still says the carrier has not picked it up.
if you call him on it he will block you, if you leave a negative feedback he will block you with a rude comment, i have not yet left a feedback but i see a few others have.
if you buy from ebay, avoid this guy like the plague no matter how good his price is unless you don't mind sitting around waiting for the parts and hoping you get the right ones.
02Starrider has good stuff and good prices with free shipping and in most cases the stuff leaves his place the same day, he is also in NC and i have seen stuff get to me the next day, never more than 2 days unless it is a weekend.

I recently bought a piston from Joshs closeouts on ebay and although he did mark it as shipped, it didnt move for two days, wich was slightly annoying but the piston was correct and ok so I wasn't too upset. I will just recommend that you dont order from racingplanet either if you cant bear to wait. My RP orders from EUR take an entire month almost everytime lol

It is probably an in store postal meter. print a label gets marked as shipped before you get money in your account.
Plus several of my scoot parts have toured the usa before stopping in my box. relax.

I have had nothing but good results when buying from him. In fact if my wholesaler does not have an item..I get it from him. Yes it does show up as 'shipped' even before it leave his warehouse...but that is because his labels are printed before his warehouse folks can package the item. But he almost always makes up for this by sending it second day mail to make up for the lost time..and he only charges you for regular mailing costs. Meaning he eats the difference. I think he is top notch on his website and on Ebay. Also...ya sure can't beat his prices most places can ya? Nope..  Glenn |

the last item i bought didn't get a tracking number until tuesday when he claims to have shipped the prior saturday, other sellers give immediate tracking numbers, he didn't and it is not coming second day mail it is regular mail and yes most times his prices can be beat for same item with same quality and free shipping, he is only good if no one else has what yo are looking for and that is not often.
it is not enough to warrant a negative feedback, i never give negative unless the entire transaction goes wrong and the seller ignores it. that never has happened.

he got a positive feedback from me because the item i ordered did arrive, the waiting was not enough for a negative however he should not state an item is shipped if there is no tracking number generated and it is not going to leave his warehouse for 4 more days.
aside from that everything he sells has worked out for me, i am kind of glad it worked out not only because i got the item but also because i like to keep a good relationship going wit the sellers i use.
90GT if you feel this post should be deleted i don't mind.
i was kind of pissed when i made it.

So im a happy camper. But I do understand how you feel stevec. When your babys aren't running right it just makes you a little more edgey. I think we all have been there, stuck at fustration alley and left there until parts (sometimes a tool) arrive.. Its a very painful and aggonizing feeling, but owning more than one bike helps remedy the tuning blues ALOT! |

right now i am trying to sell my scoot to get a motorcycle.
i have never gotten free shipping from Josh but the price is not bad.
i will be getting a small scoot like a zuma or rukus to have around in case the bike breaks down.

it was the one order i had trouble with, he marked it as shipped before he even generated the tracking days later, a lot of places generate a tracking number, he marked as shipped and did not generate one til days later, i still order from him if i am not in a hurry to get the item.

I've buy from them all the time and yes sometimes it will take longer then it should but never nothing bad to say, I also buy from there main site www.gy6store.com which offers free shipping. They sent me the wrong product once and called them up and they sent me the right one and told me to keep what they sent. Met the owner at the Spring Nationals and he's cool as hell, for a multi-millionaire he talks to you like a person and like you just a customer. |

i have been buying more from him and have had no issues.
he seems pleasant to talk to and so far has had everything in stock for my power block 180.
i made this post in haste, it should be taken down so people don't get the wrong idea and not order from him.
