Hmmm, interesting. I don't need to converse except with the Almighty; I am an introvert. I just need something to watch me and to take care of. Ember went to bed at 10 on my side, suggesting I am way late. But, she doesn't understand that you all need my help.

Also, you never specified you like to know package sent and received. That might have helped in processing this right. So, guess that means you are ending the deal. Double whammy of hurt. Bummer! Well, guess it isn't what it seemed. At least there is the other kit out there, but supposedly not as good and wanted to go small business and reward your hard work. I can only do so much, and feel bad I can't help you out. I love helping folks out to my detriment...

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I attempted to purchase an A/C system from Rollguy, but when I found out that he only accepts cash, I chose not to continue. While I am sure that he is an honest person, I just do not trust sending cash in the mail. Insurance or not, it really does not protect the best interest of either party. I am in no form or fashion criticizing how Rollguy chooses to do business, it is his prerogative and those that have received his kit have had nothing but positive things to say about it. With that said, if Rollguy ever decides to accept paypal (with the buyer covering the fees), or postal money order, I will most definitely be purchasing a kit.

Sending cash through the mail is very risky and I wouldn't do it.
A US postal money order is very secure. It can be cashed at _any_ post office with proper ID that matches what the sender put in the " To " field. It can also be cashed at a bank like a check. Cashing it at a post office isn't like cashing at a bank where you need an account, if the post office accept it they can't later claim it was fake and charge you back. |

I strive to be an asset to the Mercedes Benz community, and to offer a quality product (I use it on my own cars), at a reasonable price. My regular job depends on recommendations from other customers, and also repeat customers. One has to be honest, and provide a quality product in order to continue to have a job. This community is no different. Again, I am sorry to hear about your loss, and I would not be happy if it happened to me either. However, I would use it as a learning experience (although expensive), and hopefully not let it happen again.

I also would chose to keep cash transactions only in person, there is no perfect way to deal with sending money to someone far away, but either a money order or paypal seems to be a better choice.

Now not to take sides....or say who done right or done wrong....dealing with selling items online, I can apply a few things. Yes I have said, to bad so sorry...go away before but clearly if I made a mistake I tried my hardest to make things right.. I would personally offer him a kit out of kindness or offer up one at cost... This is how I see it... A-He should have never ever sent that amount of cash in a plain envelope... B- As a business man, you should never advice your customers to send cash. This lends to a few things....your trying to escape the IRS, you are on a fixed income and hiding income, parts are stolen....either way it sounds like you don't want a paper trail... Not trying to start a riot, I have read good things about your kits and I am sure your a good person...as with the op...but the saying goes if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, its a duck

I can offer my experience with payments as it relates to my cruise control side business.
Most people pay me via PayPal, which is easy and I can directly transfer the funds to my checking account. I lose some 2% of each transaction (amounts to some $2 per unit) but its the cost of using PayPal. Not everyone is OK with that, there are alternatives of course. The second most popular form of payment is Postal Money Order followed by personal check. I've never had a problem cashing either one at my bank and since I work from 7 am to around 545. I miss the bank by 45 mintues everyday. So Saturday morning is deposit day. ROLLGUY, you should consider accepting Postal Money Orders unless you have something against them or have had a bad experience. I read you use a P.O box? I think it would be just as easy to walk over and have them cash your money order right there. I dont think I've had any one send me cash in the mail yet. Nothing over $20. The few cash transactions I've had were in-person. I'm not saying anything about who is right/wrong/should offer this or that,etc just offering my experience with payment forms, maybe it'll expand sale if you open up to money orders? Just adding my two cents!

My experience sending parts/cash
I recently had to send some parts and cash using USPO.
It seemed like they are trying to do a good job with it. I declared that I was sending parts and cash in the box, told them the value, asked for them to send it registred mail, and asked for a return receipt. They had me add brown paper shipping tape all around the box. This was required because it is somewhat "tamper proof" meaning it would be obvious if someone had opened it. They indicated it would take a bit longer to get there because they have to keep it in locked areas at all times -- indicating they hopefully have a "chain of custody" system in place. I realize that any of these things could be defeated by someone that really wanted to get to my box, but they do make it a bit harder to get away with it. I will know in a few days if it worked well or not. I am not expecting any issues, but I will report back the results.

The letter came back? Envelop was empty? What did the postal stamps say? Found damaged? Return to sender? Was the envelop damaged or show signs of being opened? Why was it returned? Seems like if someone at USPS took the money - they would just get rid of the envelop too - and the same thing if someone outside of USPS. |

I have had letter returned like that when paying a bill. It was a mortgage payment that never reached its destination. The envelope and check were mangled by a USPS letter sorting machine.
I do not send cash through the mail. I will send check or MO, or paypal. I do understand the reasoning for just accepting cash. No need to deal with the bank, plus cash can be hidden from the thieving IRS.
