BeansProShop Mixed feelings...Good and Bad seller.
« on: May 10, 2006, 02:45:04 PM »
First off, I believe stongly in the feedback system here and that people should be honest with their experiences so that others will know what to expect when dealing with another member. I know BeansProShop has a pretty good rep here with most members and I expected the same treatment. OK, here is my experience with Beans. I bought a 14lb. power groove Dry/R from him for $35 shipped. I asked him when and how the ball would be shipped. Here is his reply.

Message:  I ship UPS and it will ship tomorrow if you pay tonight before I leave the shop. Thanks Beans
 


ok, I paid instantly on 4/27(thursday night) and he stated it would be shipped on 4/28(friday). I messaged him back late friday night asking if he could send me the tracking#. Here is his reply.

Ok, that was not a big deal to me at the time. However, this lie is revealed soon. According to him the package was packed but UPS did not pick it up. He says they will pick it up monday(5/1)and it would be here wednesday(5/3).

After waiting until wednesday(5/3), the ball did not show up. I sent him a message letting him know the ball did not arrive. So I wait till thursday(5/4). Still no ball shows up. I pm him again and tell him the ball still did not arrive and asked again for a tracking #. He responded the next day(friday 5/5). Here is his reply.

Message:  I apologize for the delay. The ball was in my bowling bag I took to the regional 2 weeks ago. I forgot where I had put it until I went to practice yesterday. I will get you the trackinh info today. Again, sorry for the delay. beans
 




Now he has stated once again that he would ship the ball that day(friday 5/5)and get me the tracking #. Ok, this is where I get irritated! This is where he reveals his own lie. He stated to me on 4/28 that the ball was boxed, but it was UPS fault they did not pick the package up. This is what pissed me off over the whole deal. I did not have a problem with it taking a little more time than usual, but he lied to me since the first day! Why should he lie about having it boxed and puting the blame on UPS for not picking it up? Then supposedly UPS would get it monday and it would be here wednesday. The whole time he did'nt even know where the ball was. Not to mention its impossible to box a ball you don't know where its at.


Well per his last response he was suppose to ship that day(friday 5/5) and send me the tracking #. Guess what?? He did'nt. I pm'ed him once again asking if he had the tracking # this time. He read my message the same day and he did not bother to reply this time. I sent him another pm the next day(sunday 5/7) telling him that I know he read my last message within a hour after I sent it and asked why he did'nt bother responding. Here is his reply

I sent him my email address, but asked why would he need my email to send the tracking #? He could just send it to me via pm here. He was acting again like he had already shipped it and still could'nt supply me with the tracker. Anyway, almost 12 hours later he finally sends me a tracking # here is the pm so it will show the time.

He had just filled out the shipping forms after he had told me he was waiting on my email to send the info to. This tracking # said billing info received but the package was not yet in UPS possestion. Well it finally arrived today(wednesday 5/10). The whole ordeal took 14 days from the time of payment till the time of delivery. Not 5 days like he states. And it was only a 2 day transit from him to me. However, none of this would have been a problem with me had he not lied to me several times. Now as far as the deal goes aside from all the crap...the ball is in mint condition and I am very satisfied with that and the price. I just wish he had been honest with me the whole time.

You are missing my point of posting. I am not upset about the timeframe it took for the ball to arrive. He lied to me several times throughout the deal.

This is not the case and lying is not acceptable when dealing here IMO.

My reason behind this post is so that others are aware of my experience with him. Thats what the feedback system is for.

He is a good source for new buzzsaws but i made the mistake of buying one of junk bonanza balls once. He would not give me specs and sent me an 8 inch pin titan, for specs he wanted 10 bucks more. That POS sits at my office still over 2 years later, i did buy an enriched uranium and a pearl dirty bomb from him brand new with good results after the titan deal.  

So dont buy his garbage blems without specs and you will be fine, Tom you can have the ball back again if you would like it hahaha

You missed my point as well. I wish you would reread the thread.

I know I got a great deal and the ball was mint and I appreciate that. I DO NOT appreciate being lied to several times. He probaly is a stand up guy most time, but he really turned me away with this deal.

The time frame is bad, but the lies from what Beans said are wrong.

LEGEND .. I just read ths for the first time. I'm in total agreement with you. When a deal is made HONESTY is the one thing expected. It's terrible to be in a position where you feel HELPLESS .. you expect the TRUTH and when you see an outright LIE you loose all faith in the transaction. YES the ball was good .but .. who needs the aggravation! Glad it worked out OK!
