Here's a simple itinerary of my shipping.
When you guys PM me for parts I will return a PM to you with the cost, my Paypal addy and my shipping days, not to mention answers to your questys, if any.
Most people will send me a PM to tell me payment has been sent.
I don't mind it but also it's not necessary. Paypal sends me an email anyway.
Normally I don't send another PM saying "Thanks, I got your payment"
only because I'd be sitting here at the computer all day.
I ship you parts the next ship day if not sooner.
My ship days are always Tuesdays and Fridays, typically around 4:30 pm pac time. I'm packaging around 3:30pm, an hour earlier.
If you send me payment at 4:30pm there's a good chance it won't make it in the mail that day but go out the next ship day.
Many times I'll ship out of those days just to get it out earlier.
I'm just writing this so people understand if I don't get right back to them after their payment has been sent. Your parts will be in the mail the following ship day.
If it's been 10 days and you have not received your parts, PM me.
Since Dec of 2008 I've shipped over 300 parcels, only one has been lost and a two have got caught up in USPS limbo.
