Has anyone bought anything from Jim AKA FRAPPY?? I sent him $400 for the RS bumper and since then he said FED EX wont take it due to the size of the box that it is in. So he said he would send the money back, but its been over a week, and I can't get thru on PMs, Cell, Page, Email.

Anyone else had this problem???

i've inquired about shipping these large items, and i think UPS will say no... but, the last I checked, I think FedEx would do it...

sorry to hear about your troubles tho... does frappy have a good presense on the forum? maybe he is just out of town for the moment....

From experience I believe FedEx would deliver a bumper.

Bumper is to big for regular fedex. You would need to use Fedex Freight, which is crazy expensive.

Jim aka Frappe is straight. Homie doesn't cheat. I just bought the Brembos from him. He's on vacation for 20 days he told me, starting...I don't remember when, about a week or maybe two ago. So no worries. He didnt answer my call either when I wanted to thank him for the stuff.

Ouch, did you pay for it by credit card or have a reciept or something to prove you paid him x amount of money?

Perhaps you can track him down and get your money back like some of the other members have done in other cases.
