Name and shame, either publicly or by reporting the PMs from scammers:

I just got scammed! | Off-Topic Discussions

A couple weeks ago I got a PM from neverknowe on the forum stating a guy he just bought wheels from has a used steering box I was looking for. I emailed Keith Hubbs hubbskeith2@gmail.com and we worked out the details and I sent him money. I knew I got burnt when I asked if he shipped the part...

Yeah, I have reported all of those scammer to admin to block those.
I almost send money one of those scammers when hunting another part. Luckily before sending anything I made google lens search for part and that opened my eyes to scam.

Just an undamaged hunk of steel…
If it’s the closest one to Finland available(!), yours just for my shipping cost.

I have a pair of black leather door cards in good condition from an .034, but have no idea what to charge for them, nor what shipping would be overseas. I can't imagine the shipping alone would be cheap. And to have to find a box for them........

 

[jnes]

Gerry, I really appreciate if you can find out some estimate if shipping costs to overseas and some price for those. They are black/anthracite? Soundsystem door pockets?
Would you mind to take some photos of the door cards to see their condition? Are the all mounting clips ok, no cracks or bends in cardboard material etc?
I'm interested definitely!

Thanks!

Joonas - are you using any freight forwarder for overseas shipping to Finland?
If not I'll give my best recommendations for JetCarrier, they ship from US to Norway, Sweden and Finland at a large scale - from envelope size to cars, boats, machines, furnitures, whatever... You choose the shipping methode yourself and the one bill you receive includes everything; VAT/tax, fees, insurance and domestic shipping to your door or local post office - or pick-up at their unloading port. I have used them since early 2000 on most of my overseas shipping, especially the larger items which goes by surface shipping i.e. by boat, which may take up to 6 weeks in worst case.

Their prices are surprisingly low compared to UPS etc.. and the cosmic air freight prices. It is also a bit simpler for the seller/sender because it's only US domestic shipping to deal with. Their homepage is so by so, but be patient, you won't get lost: JetCarrier | SHOP LIKE AN AMERICAN
When you register you get an account ID and all communication, shipping docs, bills, refers to that. Feel free to ask if you need any advices.

I can easily put my hands on these door cards and will take some detailed photos and post them here.

Stay tuned.

It's hard to guesstimate the shipping cost overseas for these, but given the size and weight, I'd estimate it somewhere around USD $300-500 just for the shipping.

Jonas, the bracket is on its way.
I’m assuming I’d be happy to share perhaps some beers with you,
This rounds on me…

Thanks guys! I love this forum because whatever your issue is regarding W124/500E500 you will get very detailed answer and help!

Just to give you an idea about shipping cost for those door cards with JetCarrier. It can be compared to a new engine bay bottom plate I scored over in South California this spring and took overseas by boat. The package had first to be shipped across the US continent to reach JetCarriers location in Newark, Delaware. This was a big package in the original box: 100 x 90 x 15 cm, but only 5 kg, and UPS demanded no less than USD $175 for that job! ....while JetCarriers shipping cost across the pond and further on to my local post office was USD $70! No other freight option on earth can beat that. (additionally comes the VAT of course) But as mentioned it took 6 weeks.

JetCarriers unloading port for all overseas shipping is in the south of Norway, close to the Swedish border. From there it is distributed by PostNord to all the Scandinavian countries, and they have now extended their service to northern central European nations as well.
