1997 97 Olds Cutlass Right Tailight 1996 96 Good Used on 2040-parts.com

I on e-bay on an e-bay e-mail.  I am only allowed to discuss the parts that are currently listed on e-bay e-mails.  E-mails about parts other than currently listed parts will not be answered.  I delete e-mails almost every day about parts that I have in stock because the request was sent on an e-bay message.  I know I can list a part someone asks about at a later time, but with hundreds of cars in stock and dozens of e-mails a day on parts, that is not possible.

48 STATES ONLY

I only sell in the 48 states.  I ONLY ship to the 48 states to buyers with US ADDRESSES AND US BANK ACCOUNTS.  This is due to buyers who try to "bend" the rules to get around auction restrictions.  Just because you are trying to use a buddies address in the 48 states, that does not fix the extra fees paypal charges for payments from out of the US.  Since almost ALL of my Neg. FB's over the last few years have come from buyers out of the US trying to "bend" the rules, I have been forced to do this.  As long as you have a US address with a US back acct., everything will work just as the system is designed.  If you do have a US bank acct. and you are using a third party in the US to ship to and handle your packages, it will be at the buyers risk.  I will not assume any responsibility for damage for any item that goes through a third party.

MY BUSINESS STRUCTURE

I have been selling classic cars and parts for over 25 years.  I have hundreds of cars in stock.  I get dozens of e-mails and phone calls every week on parts.  E-mails that are not clear about what you want to know, I don't have time to answer.  Questions must be clear and to the point about the part and what you want to know and I will get back to you.  I don't have time to try and guess what you want to know.  I ship a lot of parts every week.  Only a small fraction of my inventory ever ends up on e-bay.  I have my own UPS acct, I DO NOT SHIP THROUGH E-BAY because only part of what I sell is on e-bay.  That means you need to contact me directly with any shipping questions.

PAYMENT

I do accept paypal for payment, but I will not accept payments that are e-checks or have un-confirmed shipping addresses or non-verified payments.  Any payments that are flagged with any of these issues,  will be cancelled.  This is due to the way paypals system works. 

SHIPPING COSTS

My shipping quotes are designed to cover my costs of shipping.  This is obviously designed to cover the cost of shipping, but it includes several other items also.  This includes gathering and storing boxes from local body shops, tape, supplies, and a lot of time.  Buyers also need to remember e-bay is also now charging final value fees on shipping costs.  This was due to people listing items at a low price and making up the difference with extra high shipping.  These extra expenses trickle all the way down the pipe and must be taken into consideration when I decide what the starting price is on an auction.  If the shipping price on the auction is not acceptable, don't bid on the part.  I am not getting rich on freight, but I am not going to lose money on it either.

SHIPPING

The only reason my shipping time is so long is because I am tired of e-mails from people who do not understand that weekends and holidays are NOT working dasy.  My normal shipping day is Friday every week and as long as the part is paid for by Thurs night, I will ship it that Friday.  With the exception of Holidays, I almost always ship on Fridays.  Anything paid for by Thurs. night will be processed for Fridays shipment.  Anything paid for after Thurs. night will not ship until the following Friday.  I do combine shipping AS LONG AS THE ITEMS CAN BE SHIPPED TOGETHER SAFELY!  Standard shipping takes 8-10 WORKING days.  Weather conditions do affect shipping and can delay shipments.  I use UPS and USPS for shipping.  Buyers can always pick up here also.

Freight shipments have to be scheduled for pickup, so freight goes out whenever it is ready and I can get a pickup scheduled.

FREIGHT SHIPPING

Large items such as fenders, doors, hoods, etc. will usually need to be shipped UPS oversized or by truck lines.  Some items are better shipping oversized UPS, some have to go truck lines.  There is no way to determine the actual shipping costs until the part is packaged.  Items that will go oversized UPS can be delivered to residential addresses and will usually ship for $100.00-$150.00.  Items that are too large for UPS oversized, will have to go UPS freight.   Freight does require a commercial business address for the best rates.  Addresses are checked using Google maps.  Only addresses located in accessible business districts are considered commercial, the garage behind your house is not.  There are additional charges for residential deliveries.  Residential deliveries also REQUIRE and phone number so the freight company can make delivery arrangements with you. 

Freight shipping will typically run between $100.00-$200.00 in the 48 states.  I am in central KS, so shipments in the middle of the country will typically be on the lower end of that and shipments to the coast are higher.  Residential charges are on top of the shipping cost for freight shipments.  Interested buyers need to take this into consideration when bidding.  There is no possible way to determine exact shipping until something is packaged and I don't have time to package parts that are not sold.  If oversized or freight shipping is going to be too high, then you should not bid on that part.  I do not have Greyhound here.

VEHICLES AND CABS

Buyers have 60 days of free outside storage at the buyers risk.  After 60 days, a storage fee will apply.  If storage fees exceed the purchase price, the vehicle/cab ownership will return to me.  Buyers are responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements.  I do have names and number of transporters that have been here before that I can forward on to interested buyers.
