CIRCLE OUR RETURN ADDRESS and CROSS OUT YOURS. Just leave it in the same mailbox you received it.
You'll get a 100% prompt refund, including the shipping you paid us.

From working at the PO, when returning an item, do as Jon says above, AND BLACK out the bar code under YOUR name/address...sometimes it reads the bar code and returns it again back to YOU!!! (NOT the sender!)...just a tip!~~~~juli
WRITE IN BLACK: RTS...(Return To Sender)

Hey, one only finds out when DOING it, right?!! No harm, no foul.....juli

[RTTTTed]

I just ordered a set of tires from Jon. Took a few phone calls (yah, I called on Mon.) but still best deal I could get, since I'm Canadian, and I' just happy to finally have figured out how to get the tires without spending and extra $500+ on shipping, extra taxes and brokerage.

That's got to be worth an extra phone call or two?

Thanks Jon

Ted

Exactly.

I'm just releived now that everything is clear and now even in the great Jon-B's eyes I am now 100% thruthful about the situation.

It's just sad, because I had planned on doing a lot of business with him due to all the good post about his business. I guess I just have to be one of those un-luckly few that get the short end of the stick.

FYI to all those like Julie, and even a certain MODERATOR or two. When you click your own profile, you may see your full profile. When others click on your 'view public profile' all we see is:

Biography: 2005 SRT/10 Black Convertible//RED '08 Paddle-Shifting 436hp Vette Location: Upstate NY Venom ID #82 Interests: Nothing better than the BEAST! Occupation: Self-Employed Contractor

No true name, no address, even if you INTENDED it to be there! This site FORCES Anonymity.

However, when MODERATORS click your profile, they see full data. {In many circles, anonymity breeds cowardice ... I wish this site was considered safe and hi-brow enuf to admit who you are, at least if you CHOOSE TO!! In my opinion it would elevate the usefulness and cut down on the garbage if posters had to state their pedigree......}

[mike & juli]

Jon: I have my OWN reasons NOT to add my/Mike's names/address to be released publicly. I will release that to who reasonably asks....which I did to you in the email. LOVED your email back, BTW!!!!

Guys....Jon B is a great guy. If you're nice to him, he'll give you a great price, good service, and maybe even a backrub. Jon has supported my racing endeavours, with little in it for him. KIn my opinion, he is the most standup guy in our community.

Whew! Glad I am not a "MODERATOR" (or two) - I would feel insulted! But not as insulted as "Julie", who has her real name as her User ID and in her flashy avatar - yet still gets it misspelled.

Ummm, no. This site enforces PRIVACY for our members, most of which don't need 1,000 SPAM e-mails a day (which happens as soon as your e-mail is publicly listed for all the spambots - ask anybody who has tried). It also protects them from stalkers or other "uninvited" solicitations by e-mail, phone, or snail mail.

Ouch. Even on Crabby Mondays (which this isn't) that is a pretty pointed statement - and totally false (the cowardice part). There are basically three types of people in the world:

• Those that choose anonymity when surfing the web
• Those that use their real name in everything they surf
• Those that don't use the Internet at all

Okay, so let's discard the last category, even though it reflects roughly 80% of the population. Instead, let's take a guess at how many people are in the first group vs. the second. My educated guess is that over 95% of the people that surf or post on the internet do so anonymously. Indeed, I will extend that guess even further and state that the Net would largely collapse if people were required to declare their real name wherever they surf.

Now, lest you think this is some sort of internet anomaly, guess again. Quick: How many ordinary people have their full name, much less their e-mail and street address, on the outside of their cars? ZERO. How many people wear their full names on their clothing wherever they go? ZERO, besides maybe Ralph Lauren. How many people go to a baseball game or a party and shout out their full name, e-mail address, and street address? ZERO. And if somebody walked up to you on the street and asked for your full name, e-mail, and street address would you give it to them? Of course not - but you might call the cops. Let's face it, outside of your home and work, the vast majority of people you see and interact with every single day are anonymous. And if you had to have your full name and contact information prominently displayed on your clothes and your car you would rarely leave your house.

The simple fact is that unless you are a vendor who is trying to sell something, you generally do not want your name, e-mail, or other information out there for the world to see. Those same vendors put their names on their cars (vans, etc.) and often on their work clothes (although usually just their first name). But to ask the general population to do something that they would never do in the "real world" is just silly. It ain't "cowardice" - it's plain ol' reality just as it has been since the dawn of time.

It's safe because you can be anonymous. If we forced everybody to use their real names and/or publish their e-mail addresses the registered users would drop by at least 95% - as would the post counts. I guess it could conceivably elevate the usefulness - amongst the 50 or so people left out of the 7000+ currently registered...

And that, my friend, is how the internet works. I'm Chris Marshall and I approved this message.

you should have been an attorney

Wow this was interesting. I can say I've called Jon on a Monday I think it was anyways when I ordered my belanger exhaust kit. He was nice and told me that he was very busy we had some minor problems on my end but got it all straight. That was the first time I even talked to him and he treated me just as good if not better than many other people I deal with.I have now a awsome sounding viper and actually have to call him to order some more parts next week when I get time to actually call. New baby and racecar equals very little sleep lol. Thanks Jon for the help and you'll be hearing from me again.

Sweet Jon just called basicly everyone on the internet cowards!

I will state my first name, I have no problem with that. Everything else I would like to keep private. Why?

I post up all my cars, parts etc. Crooks who watch these sites(and they do, trust me) look for people who give away that info pubicly. They can scan through there post and see what all they have. I don't want to make it easy for them. Do you?

So, I guess you can call me a coward.
