Would like to share a story with a very positive experience doing business with searayman13 on Ebay.
I don't believe he is a member here but I sent him an e mail tonight suggesting he join, if he already is thats great
I removed two portlight windows on the port side as they were leaking. One of them was cracked so I ordered a new (yes...brand new) one from searayman13. I paid him with Paypal & had the window in 5 days from the USA to Canada. everything was correct & as described
A few days later I decided to remove the other two on the starboard side & they both had cracking around the flanges so i ordered two more. now bear in mind the boat is still on land & I am dying to launch it. April here in Ontario was a horrible month for weather so she stayed under shrink wrap until May 1st. I have spent most of may fixing water leaks. I took out both side windows to reseal them, removed the rub rail & the deck to hull screws resealing everything before reassembly, put 16 new spark plugs in the twins, buffed & polished & am now waiting on these two windows
As I knew he would send them right away I calculated a launch for last weekend but the windows hadn't arrived by friday. Now by Monday this week they still hadn't arrived I knew something was up. I went into my Paypal account & there it was.....I wanted to kick myself. As I have moved a couple of times over the years a log of all previous confirmed addresses still lurks on Paypal & if you are not watching, as I wasn't that day a previous address went to searayman. He only did the right thing & sent them to that address. I contacted the people there (they are tenants) & they refused to sign for the package as it wasn't theirs (all they had to do was look at the name duh) and they would have realized it was for me
Anyway back to searayman they went & that was last Thursday. So now I'm thinking.....5 business days for them to find their way back, another 5 days to receive them again, this boat is never going to float !
Here's the good part.....I contacted searayman direct explaining the situation. He sent me out two more windows today before receiving the other ones back & I only had to pay him the shipping. He usually sends them USPS which takes too long so he made a special trip to UPS so I can receive them on Thursday = boat in water Friday
This guy is a lifesaver & I want to tell you if you need stuff he has don't hesitate to do business with him & just so you know......I never knew him before these two transactions. he just deserves some recognition. In a business world where no one trusts any more he was gracious enough to help me out of a situation without hardly knowing me
A story worth sharing I thought
Also changed the name on the boat. some of you already may recognize it from previous posts. It went from
''NASSSTY BUOY'' to ''LADY NATALIA'' in honour of the Admiral who would rather give directions & coaching as opposed to standing on the bow with a rope in preparation for docking. Now have to perform the Champagne ritual
