    Trying to get a good deal (I would 100%) is one thing. Heck, I checked the part number and thought about flipping a set. I had not even thought about scammer or even 3rd party selling them, Wallyworld screw up was my thought. Then the thread discussed how the seller clearly was bad news and probably a scammer.
    This is where I started thinking about why a scammer/shitty 3rd party would continue to do this. What is their motive if folks are getting their money back. It’s the money they take from the “ones who need to learn a lesson” that keep them going is what I am gathering. So, is it right to knowingly order, possibly support (as I suspect they still make money off this) someone who is stealing from the poor (our tax dollars at work possibly) and the at-risk, including folks elderly parents and grandparents.

    As a behaviorist, I tell the kids who are laughing at the class clown they are encouraging the kid. They always disagree, so I ask, what tells some one they are being funny? When you laugh at them. So if you are laughing at them, they will continue.

    In this case, there are a couple of things. First, the more orders they take the more likely some get through and they make the money with out issue.
    The second, I am not sure that when someone disputes with PP or their credit card company what exactly happens. But I am going to assume, that not all the money always gets returned. There has to be a reason these folks keep going. Look at the reviews on this stellar 3rd party company, they took someone for 120 bucks Worth of shitter paper during the heyday of the outbreak.

    to each their own, but I call it like I see it, and am always looking to be educated And have a good conversation. I will stop this conversation as some folks think it will get the thread locked, and I hope folks get these, the market floods and some how the 3rd gen shock prices drop.

    If you have a tracking number the shipper will tell you how much the package weighs. Hopefully this works out

    FedEx and UPS do list package weights. However, the post office (USPS) does not.

    It is interesting that it was shipped USPS. That should be a 60 lbs package. Usually more than is ideal for shipping USPS. :popcorn:

    Shipping pricing has gone up significantly in the past couple of months, I recently shipped a set of COs to the Denver area and UPS wanted $120 for it. This is about double what ADS paid to ship my new ones from Tucson. Ended up using USPS which was a lot cheaper but still expensive at $91.

    Damn, that's crazy. I shipped a pair of 2.0 SAW coilovers a couple years ago across the country via UPS and it was only $60.

    You can still call that post office and ask for the details and they will usually tell you. But that’s a hassle. I’m just gonna sit here like Christmas and wonder if anyone listened through out the year of what I wanted or am I getting a shitty pocket knife again

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    This thread is hilarious, I don't even give a shit about cheap coils anymore, fuck who cares who gets ripped off at this point @JKO1998 you know I was rooting for ya but you didn't have a snowballs chance.

    I just like watching the virtue signaling high horsers try fruitlessly to turn the cynical realists' points of view. It's gold. Y'all keep at it, I needed a laugh, work has been tough today.
