They might be hung up in customs Jason
My kid has been dealing with this about some MC parts we sent to Europe 6 weeks ago.
I made the mistake of not sending an invoice with the new parts and it has everything screwed up at the moment.

Not sure how customs in Africa are though

Give it some time. Last time I sent parts to Australia (not Alan, this was an Ebay deal) they took like six or 8 weeks to get there. We moan in North America about the speed of delivery, but these overseas countries are somethng else. I think the mail is delivered by a guy crossing the ocean on a paddleboat you pedal like a bicycle

The South African guy comes on here but not regularly. Your PM's are probably still sitting unread (you can tell if they are still in your outbox that he has not read them yet)

Once the stuff shows up he will probably remember you.

well
i was not going to mention this at all but i sent parts to a member in the USA before i got his $. he has installed said parts , i have inquired about the money, got a reply saying it was on the way, that was a while ago.

wont mention the name but i met him in person before so i thought i was being a nice guy by sending the stuff right away.

i consider the whole deal being screwed by a friend who makes a lot more than me.
i am very upset an offended and have been steaming for a while on this.

what little money i have i get from selling parts and the odd jobs and unlocking cars i also do.

hope he reads this, feels like crap and finally sends the money he owes me.
its not that much but i sure could use it.

sorry for the rant but i feel better airing it.

i should mention
this is only time i have ever been stiffed on a parts deal with a member ,
i hate being a nag so i have not sent a zillion PMs to him. perhaps i should rethink that.

Uhh Brian i sent it. If you don't have it you should have let me know and i could try to track it down. Or even resend another. and if you received two trust you to send one back..

A PM works

Garbz the offender...

I assume you sent it USPS, If you have the customs number from when you shipped it you can use it like a tracking number on USPS website to see where it is at. I have sent stuff to Australia that was there in 3 DAYs, recently sent stuff to Israel that got hung up here in states for a whole month.

another reason why this is a great place to hang out.

my apologies to you, you did not need to out yourself, doing so shows me i have screwed up by posting in this thread.
i sent you a new PM.
no hard feelings.
hope everyone can learn from this , and keep everything on a friendly course. jumping to conclusions without inquiring is not a good thing.

When I was a kid I had an old bicycle frame that I built a bike from. I had it all done but I didn't have a set of handle bars for it. My Grandpa, being the resourceful man he was, mounted an old steering wheel to it for me.......

Sorry, just thought it would change the thread to some happy memories for everyone!

(By the way, it soon was the coolest bike in town)

I got one too. Uncle Skip sent me a money order for some wire I had bought to share, and told me not to send it off for a while. Guess I was still almost two weeks late. You're a good one Skip, Thanks.
