If its not asked for upfront and my gut tells me its ok, at times I F@F it in hopes my good faith gesture makes the seller feel good and maybe they will pack a hair better or ship a day sooner.

Ive recently learned even after 35 years of buying parts and as much as even the membership here seems very solid, ask ask ask questions, ask for pics, ask about shipping and dont assume nothing, and if thats a issue on there end just walk away. For example I just paid 2x the going shipping rate that many would of went the 3-5 day shipping with ins vs usps ground freight with no ins and over two weeks to me. But thats my fault at the end of the day. However I got lucky and received the part.

Im actually skiddish about sending a m/o these days as the recourse route is long and bumpy.
