In the
e-mail he told me that it would take a couple of days to get the bike ready before it goes out. That actually meant that he does not have any motorcycles. They
are drop shipped from another company. He never touches or even sees them. He just takes in the money from his PAY PAL account.
There’s nothing illegal or immoral about drop-shipping. Hey, more
power to anyone who can work from their house and make tons of money. It’s
my stupid fault for not researching a little more thoroughly. However there is
more to the story so please stay tuned.
After two weeks went by I began to wonder a little what might be going on with my new bike. I sent out another e-mail and once again a quick response. I
was told there may have been a slight delay in getting it out of the warehouse. OK,
I will wait a little longer to see what happens. That same afternoon my phone
rings and it’s the shipping company from Richmond calling to set up a time for delivery.
I couldn’t have been more excited. The day before Thanksgiving I
will have my new bike and I will have the entire 4 day weekend to put it together and play with it.
I have to get off work to go home to meet the delivery
truck. I only have to wait a few minutes and here he is. We get into the truck to make sure it is the correct package before he unloads it and guess what? It is smashed in the side and engine oil is all over the cardboard around the bottom
of the crate. After getting it off the truck the driver tells me that they received
it in that condition and there isn’t anything he can do about it except annotate it on the shipping invoice. This part is a little confusing to me. The invoice is from
the Richmond Virginia Company. There was no information on what company or how
it even got to Richmond. Very strange…I haven’t figured that one
out yet.
