I know some of you guys have shipped body kits and hoods, etc thru Greyhound, so I was hoping someone could answer a few questions for me........
i bought a new body kit from a kid in TX, and he claims he shipped it out via Greyhound. Now he gave me a "GLI #". He also said that it cant be tracked while in transit. So I have to call my station with this GLI to confirm if it has arrived or not. this dosent make sense to me, because Greyhound has 2 tracking features on their shipping website. So is this tru, or is he BS'ing me??
i have been a little weary about this whole deal, and im not sure wether to wait a few days and keep calling to see if it comes in, or if i put a hold on the paypal transaction.
anyone have any insight for me?? thanks in advance.

I would have taken care of those concerns before sending payment, but it seems the majority here choose to wait until after the fact making it that much more difficult.
I had a dashpad for my old Z shipped through Greyhound, and I was at least able to see that it was shipped out, though throughout transit it is nearly impossible for them to update where it is. However it did make it to me.
^^^well the member is active on here, and a few of the trustable people know him personally(like ESB for example). normally i wouldnt have bought it, but figured he cant get far if theres JBO members that know him and live right near him,.
PS - Joe, did you have to call the station repeatedly to figure out it was there?

Yeah I did have to call quite often, sadly enough. Though the tracking number provided me with an estimated arrival.
Best of luck with this.
hmmmm, well the number i got dosent bring anything up in the tracking system.
I emailed Greyhound about it also, but they havent replied in a week. Im just curious if this number is even similar to their usual tracking numbers

I lost a shippment I had made to someone on greyhound. The GLI# is the number they give you however is not a trackign number. What I did was go to the greyhound location that I shipped the item from and filled a claim. abotu 3 days after filing the insurance claim form that greyhound has. Guess what greyhound found it in 3 days. Tell the seller to go fill out the insurance claim form at the station he sent it from and you wil have you kit within days. greyhound doesn't like to give out money
(Insert really cool picture of my car with some catchy name or slogan here)
if you sent money in paypal.. all u have to dispute it if he cant come up with a tracking number in 10days. that paypal verifys. you will get a full refund no questions asked.
^^^thats what they say, but trust me from experience, that isnt tru.
but i called greyhound and gave them the GLI#, and they said it is in transit, so i guess it was actually shipped out. should have it this week sometime hopefully. thanks for the replies guys

wow good luck... i didnt even know that things could be shipped through greyhound. Is it cheaper?

Sure isn't! I got an Alpine off eBay for a friend, had issues ejecting and skipped a lot, I filed a claim after the seller didn't contact me within a week. Well they never responded to Paypal either, and out of $75 I walked away with $25.

thats a nice deal. my only time working with a dispute, Paypal looked at a phony tracking number i was given, and cleared the dispute, and you cant re-open a dispute. so paypal screwed me.
RIP Kasey Burleson, and get well soon Chris Shelly
only had dispute through paypal once. had my money back in less then an hour. but yea, if the person doesnt have enough money in their account to pay you back, paypal will give you as much as possible. the rest is a loss.

Was it a big mouth kit, i know him and i would trust him he is from houston right??? I would contact him or go to the regional forum and ask him personally.
^^^ya, thats the one. but i contacted greyhound, and they do have it in the system, and it is on the way.
i was just worried cuz it went down kinda shady, but all is well now. should have it anyday now. i didnt really wanna make this post, but didnt know what else to do.
thanks

i bought a bumper from the guy that used to own tabasco racing and it was severly damaged in transit. i purchased insurance on it, but they wont refund any of my money. i showed them the obvious damage and they agreed it was damaged but they still insisted they didnt have to pay. i talked to two laywers and they said it would cost more than 300 in fees to take it to court and that is all it costed. so i got took. hopefully yours goes alright.
