Welcome
to my 'About Me" Page.
|
|
| History: At age 15, I started working for a local auto parts store. Back in 1965, I was selling shock absorbers for classic cars when they were not classics, just cars. In the mid 1970's through 2004, I operated a part time business traveling to swap meets in the Midwest selling shock absorbers for muscle cars, classic cars, and classic trucks. I loved the travel and meeting people face to face. In 2004, I became tired of the gasoline companies and hotel operators eating me alive with ever increasing prices. Admittedly, the idea of loading 3000 lbs. of inventory on to a truck every weekend lost it=s appeal when I reached my mid-50's. I still miss the customers and vendors that I met along the way. I really miss the scenery that I have seen, especially on the trips to the Carlisle, PA show. I started selling my products on Ebay in 2005. |

| Contact
me: If you have a question regarding any of the applications that I have listed, or if you cannot find your application, please send me a message though Ebay. I will do my best to assist you. I monitor the Ebay message system at least four times a day, 7 days a week. If I am out of town, I make every effort to access a computer and respond to messages. There may be a rare weekend that I do not have access. I will respond on the following Monday or Tuesday. |

| Shipping:
Process: I do not use a third party shipper. I am in control of your order through the entire process until your order leaves my door. Your order is packed with care in sturdy boxes. I do my best to make sure your order arrives intact, with no damage. Schedule: Orders are shipped every day, Monday through Friday. Occasionally, I will take a four day weekend. In that case items purchased on Thursday or Friday will be shipped the following Monday or Tuesday. I make every effort to ship within two business days of receipt of payment. I will send an order confirmation to your email address that is registered with PayPal the day of shipment. If you want the tracking number, please ask. Inventory is monitored daily. On the very rare occasion that I am out of the part number that you need, I will contact you with anticipated shipping date. |
