FS: 06' Sport Edition Running Boards

[digphisher]

Just wanted to update everyone:

Paul has gotten in contact with me, finally. Someone in his family passed away, and he was out of town. He stated that he was very sorry, and feels bad that he treated me like he did. He said that he sent them out via UPS, and will pay for the shipping. It is an unfortunate thing that I had to go through all of this, but I feel better knowing that the running boards are on their way. I'll feel even better when they get here. I appreciate the support of the board.

Gator Greg, I don't think a ban of Paul is in order (any more). In his email, he spoke highly of the board and its members, and how he would never want to deceive another fellow member.

Paul has given me permission to post his email to me. It looks like all will end well, as I had hoped. My view about our members will not change due to this experience. I still think we've got something special here, and will continue to trust my fellow members.

Here it is:

Dan,
I will try and make this as short as possible. First, my Mother (actually, step-mother) passed away and I have been home with loved ones in Virginia! She is the only mother I have ever known (since I was 4 years old). Also, I am sorry about just getting back to you...I had actually told a friend of mine to stop and ship the running boards for me before I left for VA, but I just found out that he didnt follow through so I had them shipped a few days ago. Words cannot express how sorry I am and I can only imagine how you must feel (plus, I had no way of getting in touch with you). However, I hope that you are sympathetic to the fact that I was VERY close to my step-mother and her death has been weighing on my mind heavily. So, I completely lost focus on your running boards as I have been in Virginia with family and friends during this difficult time. The running boards have been shipped and your tracking number through UPS is
# 1Z0005AW0399572248. I didnt clean them before shipping as they were a little dirty (due to rain) when I took them off. But, they are in new condition and I apologize if you have to clean them after you take delivery. Dont worry, UPS wrapped them first before shipping. Please understand that I am REALLY sorry and I do not typically treat people as you have been treated. I have been a member of T4R.ORG for quite a while and would never intentionally treat another member badly. Please accept my deepest apologies and I hope that you enjoy the running boards. If you have any questions or concerns, please dont hesistate to call me as I am back in Ohio now! And, obviously dont worry about sending money for shipping. It was $65 and I feel that you deserve the discount after making you wait. Best of luck.
Paul

Just wanted to apologize to everyone for my behavior. My mother (actually step-mother who is the only mother I have known) passed away and I was unable to get in touch with Dan. I have expressed my sincere apologies to him and the running boards will be on his front door step tomorrow. He has been very patient and understanding in this matter. Just goes to show what kind of character individuals have in this forum. I hope you all understand and I wish everyone a happy new year.
Paul

Just want to let y'all know... I got the running boards!!! Now I just have to install them. And, I know how this board works, a post is worthless without a picture, so I'll post pics as soon as I get them on. Have a happy new year T4R!
