A man is only as good as his word

**delawarerick** · 04-30-2016, 05:46 AM

I have been around for a long time both on this site and earth. I have made many sales and purchases which as a man I stand behind. But it not an equal playing field here anymore. 14 days plus it's not here yet maybe 1300 miles

BS. Since I don't have pay-pal I go to the post office and get a postal money order and then spend $5 and send it priority that way you have the same as cash in 2 days, then, I'll send you the tracking number it has never come. What the @#^k rather then call out the person I think unless the person has been around a long time I will refrain from buying and selling. Kind a in a rush trying to make the keys run but is doesn't look good for I needed the part a week ago to have something frabricated. I guess things happen but don't lie to me I would have found another fix but to say it's mailed and I'll send the tracking number and then don't. Karma young bucks it's a biotch

I hate that ****, drives me nuts.

At least you sent a FEDERAL USPS MO to him and he can't say he did not get the money. People can lie and rip you off using PP, and I think they have 45 days to do it now days.

I hate ANYBODY that doesn't keep his word. Most useless people on the planet. If something happens and you can't deliver then COMMUNICATE!!!! Nothing worse than leaving someone hanging

Communication is the key!! 100%.

I have a plaque in the office that says "Communication prevents complication"
What also gets to me is when someone calls or messages saying "I'll take it" and never have the common courtesy to call or message, hey I'm sorry, I'm broke, changed my mind or what ever.

Rick, hope things work out or post up the name!

That sucks Rick. My words my bond even if it cost me.

My dad's words to live by - "Do what you say & say what you do". That saying has always served me well

When a person truly values his word that is what he does, even if he screws up!

Yeah and we know Ive done that

That is what a MAN that is worth his salt does. We all screw up but it is how you handle each particular situation that defines you. If money or your time is worth more to you than your word I feel sorry for you.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

You can say that again......oh you did

**HStream1** · 05-06-2016, 06:21 AM

It happens to me all the time. People call me I want this done and that done. How much etc etc. I take the time to explain the process and give as accurate a quote as possible without actually seeing the item(s). Ok Ill be shipping it out only to never see the item(s) or hear from the caller again.
