Quote from: 85RZwade on July 11, 2026, 09:40:14 PMProbably should move this to Haus of Projects or something, but...meh. In my quest to resolve the leaking forks, I decided to replace the seals with SKFs and put new bushings in while I'm at it. Found bushings on eBay for half of retail, one of 'em from these fine folks in Florida who took my money, supplied a tracking number and the whole thing. USPS updated the package arrival at another city in Florida and the seller promptly canceled my order, refunded my American dollars and apologized profusely. Seems the item was missing or damaged when they went to package and ship it. They forgot to tell the USPS, who continued to diligently provide updates on the non-existent package as it made its way across our great country. This morning:



Sure as death and taxes, the bushing that should not be (that's either a Metallica or Alice In Chains reference, you choose) showed up today:



So...do I tell 'em? I think I do, but I kinda want to leave them glowing feedback about their pricing and what a tight ship they run instead.
ethical dilemma alright. They made it right by refunding you and apologized, so probably end of story for them. I bet they would just tell you to keep the lone piece anyways as not worth time on either end to return it. The pos feedback is worth more to them than alternative at this point...
