I'm still waiting for Tad to come through with the cylinder block he sold me on ebay back in December. At the time, apparently, he didn't have it...??!!! But he had it continuously listed on his website and his email catalogue, and he listed it on ebay again last week, so I'm confused. Ding dang it if armytad hadn't blocked me from bidding on that auction. Sigh.

Watch out for this guy.

Don't buy from Anderson Vintage Parts!

Don't buy from Anderson Vintage Parts!

I won three auctions on Ebay in July 2005 and set payment of $142.13 through Paypal. I still haven't received my parts and Tad will not respond to emails. If you read his feedback on Ebay you will see that he must not be running his parts business very well. I'm now filing a complaint with Paypal to attempt to get my money back. I wonder why he has time to list all those parts for sale on the GSResources but doesn't have time to respond to my emails about the parts I've paid for. I would recommend never doing business with this guy. I hope I keep somebody else from making the same mistake I did. He has great parts but evidently just wants your money and then resells the parts you won on Ebay later to rip sombody else off like he did to Silverhorse47. I'll bet he won't even respond to this!

One pissed off Buster Dog! :evil:

Tad, your going to wind up in the deadbeat section of a very popular vintage UJM motorcycle forum if you don't come in here and sort this out buddy. I have bought from you off eBay and was pleased with my parts although shipping was very slow. Maybe you just need to fix some things up here?

This is certainly an opportunity to redeem yourself before your reputation goes for good with these guys.

Delivery slow, but it does get there for me.

I have made several purchases from AVP. They can be slow but they have delivered. I have sent an email to Tad via one of his associates including this thread link. Hopefully he will see the benefit of making people on this website happy. I don't know about the rest of you but I support the heck out of suppliers that get me my parts.

I bought from him. Shipping was outrageously priced and slow as hell.

Hey Guys/Gals,

Just had a chance to read through this, I'll be responding shortly.

Cheers,

I'll tell you what, the 450 was my first attempt at restoring/fixing/riding a motorcycle. I loved doing it, and I loved it so much I bought the next one I saw.

I can't imagine that's gonna stop anytime soon. They're great bikes.

That being said, they're old bikes and they need parts. A good supplier is a resource beyond measure. His parts were good, I just wasn't pleased with the shipping.

Hi Peter, your order was shipped on 9/2 and we sent you a copy of the tracking number - I can resend if needed. Hope that helps.

Hi Mary,

Your order was out of stock and you received a refund I can provide transaction numbers if this would help. The part eventualy came back into stock some time later, but is no longer so.

This is certainly not where I desire to be of course!

Our parts are best quality around and the cheapest by far, but our shipping is painfuly slow - unfortunatley I only have myself and my fiance` to run the business with and the way our system is currently set up requires alot of juggling.

We are actually selling off a good chunk of our inventory to make it more manageable and creating an automated way to handle orders more efficiently for just the 2 of us. I really really really am looking forward to this.

Right now we put in about 12-14 hours a day, 5-6 days a week and have been known to 'camp out' in the office

Then why block her from bidding on it when it came up on ebay again?

Hi UncleMike,

I'm not sure what order was yours, but I'd like to ask what it was, what you paid for it, if shipping was any higher than the ammount stated in auction, and if it took longer to delivery than the time stated in auction.

This will help me alot!

Thanks,

Let's just say we did'nt get along very well and I felt it was best to part ways

Well, to be honest it has been almost two years now. It was either a cylinder head or a airbox assembly for an '81 450. I don't remember shipping stated in the auction, but I remember it being a bit high.

It wasn't so high that I thought you were ripping me off terribly, but I knew it could've been done cheaper. The real problem I had was it was just painfully slow. I don't mind slow, but I'd better not be paying a lot for slow, catch my drift?

Again, whichever part it was, and it may be both, they were both in excellent condition. They looked brand new. I can't state enough what good condition they were in. Very pleased.

Hi UncleMike,

Thanks for the info - I'm sorry if your order was shipped slow , at that time I was working by myself out of a spare bedroom If you'd like, I'd be happy to extend free shipping on any future order.

Cheers,

Believe me I understand the trials and tribulations of entreprenuership (even if I am too lazy to be sure how to spell it.) That's a wonderful offer and gesture of goodwill that I will gladly take you up on.

Seems like he's trying awful hard to make good, eh guys?

Thanks much,

Mike

Thanks for understanding, it seems like it is a constant up hill battle sometimes! I look forward to getting ahead of shipping and keeping everyone happy!

Believe you me it does me no good to have upset customers, business wise or personally!
