|
| | | As a buyer, I was frequently frustrated by these issues too. Some
U.S. sellers wouldn't send tracking even when asked for it (and the EU really
needs to catch up with the U.S. -- for once -- by regulating and requiring
free tracking on all packages sent by public postal service). And then there
were the mistakes -- my overall error rate was 33% to 40% on orders with
at least one error in listing/packing, and well over 50% if I count orders with
at least one damaged piece but no incorrect pieces as part of the error rate.
That's why I run my store the way I do. I try to do the things I wanted as
a buyer on my 750+ orders. Tracking is uploaded to the order page AND included
in the Drive-Thru email for every single order. Turnaround time on shipping is
1-2 business days max, regardless of how busy I am. Orders are dropped off at
the post office rather than a dropbox, which often saves an entire day of shipping
time. Parts are bagged neatly and labeled if necessary. And most importantly,
I have a robust QA system that triple-checks every single order for accuracy
and quality. With hundreds of thousands of parts sold through various platforms,
I've never had a reliable report of a missing or incorrect part in an order
(though I admit that I have missed minor damage a handful of times). As a seller,
I hold myself to a very high standard, and I struggle to understand how other
people's standards for themselves are so low.
I have one of the largest used-parts inventories in the country, so feel free
to try out my store if you'd like. You'll get great service and great
parts, just like it says.

Just spontaneous thoughts when creating your account, or were there personal

No matter how trivial you might think it, others often find such things vicariously
enjoyable. Even if your post seems inconsequential to you, it's often not
