Author Message   Rz500 Posted on Friday, May 20, 2016 - 08:00 am:        Won a S3 tail section on the EBR auction, but they want $220 to ship it. If anybody is going to the factory to pick up their stuff let me know, I will give you my invoice, and send a notarized letter if you need, and you can have it. Glenn   Hybridmomentspass Posted on Saturday, May 21, 2016 - 08:13 am:        220 to ship?!?!?! Dude, I wish I'd have known, I could have picked it up for you when I was there a week ago, could have shipped it to you for FAR less than that   Buelliedan Posted on Wednesday, May 25, 2016 - 04:30 pm:        $220 to ship is total BS. But I guess they did say that you were supposed to pick up the items in person.   Lake_bueller Posted on Wednesday, May 25, 2016 - 04:41 pm:        ^^^ What Dan said. The auction was specific about pickup at the factory. If you weren't going to follow the rules, you shouldn't have bid.   Purpony Posted on Wednesday, May 25, 2016 - 09:53 pm:        the auction stated they would box each lot for $20 plus shipping.... but $200 sounds ridiculous. The auction also stated everything needed to be picked up and out of there by last thursday the 19th or you lose it with no refund. Did you end up losing it or are they working with you?   Court Posted on Wednesday, May 25, 2016 - 10:40 pm:        What do you think . . . . is a fair price for someone from the factory to go to East Troy or Mukwonago . . . .buy a single box and all the packaging needed to ship an S3 tail (the box will be the size of a small desk) . . do the packing, labeling and then haul the thing to UPS? Just curious. Be mindful . . they have, essentially, no "shipping" function in house . . .   Hybridmomentspass Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2016 - 05:07 am:        purpony - that was for 'small items' I realize its a big box (shipping one of those out today actually!) but 220 bucks sure is a lot I'll post up shipping cost later on   Rz500 Posted on Monday, May 30, 2016 - 10:54 am:        Just bit the bullet and did it, I know I should have read the fine print before bidding. I now have a new spare tail for my S3, they don't make'em anymore. Just leaves a little bad taste in my mouth about EBR now. They may have lost a future bike buyer.   Court Posted on Monday, May 30, 2016 - 11:57 am:        >>>Just leaves a little bad taste in my mouth about EBR now. EBR has as much to do with it as I do American foreign policy.   Lake_bueller Posted on Monday, May 30, 2016 - 07:35 pm:        >>>I should have read the fine print before bidding. Yep. To say this leaves a bad taste is in bad taste. I could say that the auction left a bad taste in my mouth because I spent $$$ on items that I could have bought for pennies on the dollar. But I'm not upset with EBR for selling them at an auction. I'm happy to have the parts parts that I bought.
