don't you have the tracking number of the shipment. check with fedex/dhl/ups for it. if it was sent then the shipping company is at fault for it taking so long. like i said try to find it with the tracking number. also did you insure the shipment? if so file a claim on it and get your money back.
space-monkey
11-28-2004, 10:22 PM
jake never gave me a tracking number, and like someone said, his brother cant remember the name of the company they sent it with. so heres another thing, hes been on ghost mode on AOL well i could see when he was on by another route, now he has compleatly blocked me.... if he sent it he wouldnt be hiding from me. and just FYI if someone goes ghost on AIM you can pull up an im window, type in thier SN, then hit the info button, and it will tell you thier online time and idle time. incase you need to ever find anyone.

I like Jake a lot, and he has been very helpful to me personally, and to AF in the past. I just want him to come on here and make this right--if it means apologizing for not shipping the tranny and valve cover, and fixing things financially for you guys, or really getting you the parts this time, so be it.
I know you're busy, Jake, but don't give us a reason to think you're any less of the awesome DSM'er we believe you to be ;)

ya thats what im saying! just give us something to go off of. I have seen this in the past. My mom had a mechanic fix something and screwed her over, we took him to court and since he basically stole 1200$ he went to prision for 2 years.... money and cars are a bad thing to mess with. its peoples transportation and ways of life. and n e ways why risk it? I dont think hes scamming me off of 1 solid fact, he left a trail.. ways to contact him, and did it on paypal. thats like the 2 hardest parts of a court case, the rest is judgement. so i trust he will make it right, or i will make it right the wrong way. heh

Jakesbrotherbrian

Hello all, this is Jakes brother Brian (if you couldnt tell lol). I have talked to a couple members from here in the last few days and realize that there has been a problem so I decided to join the site and follow this thread. Now I know I helped Jake build the crate that the transmission went in and I even rode with him to the shipping place. The reason I dont know what shipping company he used is because there is 3 companies in 1 building here. UPS, FedEx, and the post office. He went in, then came back out a few mins later, and some guy came around with a fork lift and picked it up out of the back of his truck, then we left. So from that point on I have no clue where it ended up. Now for the valve cover (I believe that was the other concern) I dont know anything about that. I guess you will have to talk to him about it.
Yes, our grandmother died 2-1/2 weeks ago. I wasnt really close to her but Jake was. Both our grandmother and grandfather moved to Florida right around 2 years ago after our father died. Since then he has gone down just about every other month to see them. He is a very busy guy, and frankly I am surprised to see that he is a moderater on this site. He doesnt have much time for anything let alone keep up a website. He got his new job about 2 months back and was preparing to move and have everything final by the 1st of December which has happened, although he doesnt have a phone anymore, nor does he have internet. For those of you that I talked to, sorry for misleading you thinking that Jake was actually logged on, he has most of his passwords saved on our computer and I couldnt figure out how to disable them so everytime I would come on the computer I would get bombarded with messages so I just deleted the program and reinstalled the ones I needed to use, like MSN. So if anyone needs to talk about this further my MSN name is: [email protected]
Also, Chris (I believe is your name) I talked to you early Sunday morning? Thanks for waking me up by the way. My mom would like me to ask you and anyone else to stop calling my house. Its getting very annoying and my Mom and Step-dad are about to change their number since its all over the internet now... and I guess people just wont stop calling for Jake, middle of the night, early in the morning. They are sick of getting woken up just so they can say, "Nope, hes not here".
Personally I know he sent it out unless the guy at the shipping place was stealing it. I could never see him doing such a thing as your saying he is doing! He goes out of his way to help anyone, I remember back this year when he drove to Kansas to help a guy change his cylinder head and the following weekend drove to Chicago to help a guy change his head gasket. Shit, not too long ago he changed a guys transmission fluid for free (someone he met on here). If he was such a theif do you think he would do that? I understand that you are worried and I think I would be if I were you also but you have got to think, maybe something happened in the shipping. I dont know if he wrote the address exactly the way it was perfectly matching the correct address to where he was suppose to send it, shit for all we know it could be 2 houses down or something and people are all sue happy getting ready to throw my brother in jail. People make mistakes, if they didnt, they wouldnt be human. Please just let me try and get a hold of him before you take any legal action. If I have to I will drive up to his place and ask him myself if he knows whats going on. But for now please refrain from calling my house, if you need something just email me or message me on MSN and I will get back to you most likely within 12-18hrs. Thank-you all.

I just want to add that the people who do make fake PayPal account can't really cash in their money because its under a fake name. They could use it to pay you shit but if you file a claim, they take it back 90% of the time. If you can, file a claim. Did you pay with a credit card?
I've known jake on the forums before, he never had any problems before so I would say wait but its all up to you because that PayPal thign looks suspicious. Was that account you paid too verfied?

unverified account, my mom paid with her credit card, and she asked me about the unverified part. but im going to give it a few more days, and people not calling thier house... im a damn telemarketer that never bothers me to hear that , i call until i get what i need. but as for that. i have class, and finals comming in 2 weeks so i need to shift my focus. we will see if it comes or not. and im not accusing him. if i was accusing him of stealing my money, the police would be there with an arrest warrent, and hed be in court within a matter of days. im just stating the fact, for now, or until something swades my judgement.(and by the way, when i called the first time your step-dad said to call sunday morning around 9, i called 9 on the dot. not my fault i call when people give me a time) and the only reason i got concerned is, because he told me while he was in florida "the tracking # is on my desk at home, i will get ahold of you and give it to you as soon as i get home" if i had a # and i knew it was in transit or something was wrong, like its at the office needing to be picked up, id apoligise and let it go.

Watch your mouth. You aren't talking behind his back, and I sure as hell am watching this thread for the first punk who tries to discredit Jake. If he hadn't driven all over the place helping newbies from this site, driven 2 hours to his job and worked 15+ hours a day, then slept at work, then MAYBE I would let people think up "theories" about how he is scamming.
The bottom line is that he is going to have to get his new place and a phone before anyone can contact him. Everyone BETTER believe his brother is trying to help you, because he is the only way you'll talk to Jake. Lastly, if anyone causes his poor parents to change their phone number because they call in the middle of the night, they won't have this site to talk about it anymore.

and 80 lbs ins't the limit with fedex. i worked for fedex not to long ago and you can put on i believe up to a 140 lbs. pakage before it gets bumped off onto the dock. 140 lbs + goes to frieght. so check with your local fedex terminal. i would think that ups is the same limits on things. and i don't think the usps would ever send something like that.

Everyone BETTER believe his brother is trying to help you, because he is the only way you'll talk to Jake. Lastly, if anyone causes his poor parents to change their phone number because they call in the middle of the night, they won't have this site to talk about it anymore.
Im not talking behind his back and im not discrediting him. I know he has alot of knowledge about DSMs but im just speaking my mind. It ain't my fault he agreed to sell something to that person and that person who paid that money never recieved it. $600 buks... That is alot of money you know. If his brother says its the shipping companies fault then should Jake or his brother go back to that same place and see what happend??? Instead of guessing where it went and what happend to it..? hmmm...

Im not talking behind his back
JoeWagon knows you're not talking behind his back. In fact, he reminded you of that, hoping you would be a little more careful about making a personal attack on a moderator.
and i'm not discrediting him
Yes, you are. You are both discrediting him and slandering him. This is what you said:
Dude seriously you got Scammed. And as for that "JakesBrother blah" thats just a back up. The whole story sounds like a crock. And someone said hes a good guy...? haha if hes such a good guy you would have your tranny already or a full refund back. But NOPE haha
Your attitude in laughing about other people's misfortune is not appreciated, by the thread starter, by Jake or his brother, or by anyone reading the thread. You apparently don't know the many generous and selfless things Jake has done for members of AF, and you have no right to slander him.
So my advice to you is to apologize for slandering a moderator, remind everyone that you don't know what's going on any more than the rest of us, and stop posting in this thread before you get banned.

This is the attitude that pisses me off about AF. If Jake wasn't a moderator, he would be banned. If Jake wasnt a moderator, nobody would be sticking up for him. As much as I like Jake, whatever he is doing is shady. And anyone who belives this whole "Jake's brother" BS is a dumbass.
As for the whole "self-less" things Jake's done, every time hes driven hundreds of miles to help people, hes gotten paid very well. When you are getting thousands of dollars, it isn't "self-less"...
It has been what? A few months I think? There is no fucking excuse for not giving the customer the bill of lading.
"bill of lading
n. a receipt obtained by the shipper of goods from the carrier (trucking company, railroad, ship or air freighter) for shipment to a particular buyer. It is a contract protecting the shipper by guaranteeing payment and satisfies the carrier that the recipient has proof of the right to the goods. The bill of lading is then sent to the buyer by the shipper upon payment for the goods, and is thus proof that the recipient is entitled to the goods when received. Thus, if there is no bill of lading, there is no delivery."
I dont care if your grandma died, I dont care if you are moving, I dont care if you are changing jobs, you can still give someone a call. And dont even say "he doesnt have a cell phone" Well how the fuck does his "brother" know whats going on and that there was a thread on AF that he needed to respond to? Or take a trip to your local library, get online and clear up your reputation.
Jake has been on invisible mode on AIM but still signs on and off MSN a lot. Then he turned off his "time last visited AF" thing all of a sudden. I know hes reading this.
Say whatever the hell you want, but space-monkey definatly got fucked. I know a lot more about Jake than some of you guys sticking up for him so don't come back saying I dont know what I'm talking about or threaten to "ban me"

all i know is "i got fucked in the ass" BAD!
it may be a conicidence that last few times when i was still able to get in touch with him... he said he sent it (again, wasn't able to provide tracking) and obviously i never got it. and one time after another everytime we talked, he always assured me the same thing that "he'll go bitch the post office out". 4 months has passed.
and then there is the shady paypal thing. when i was sending him the money, he assured me to send it through wire, since he didn't have a paypal account.
and dayna, i know you know jake well, and i can't agree with you more. because no matter what kind of person you are. in every reasonable person's mind, this is clearly just bad business and can be illegal if proven guilty.
these are just the facts. i'll leave the thinking to you guys.

Well, Dayna, maybe you do. And if so, congrats to you--maybe you can shed some more light on this than telling the thread starter he got fucked (like talking to Jake, for example, since you know him so well).
I was replying to Hella Fresh, who has no clue what he's talking about, and is just throwing out accusations. Sure, it looks shady. But no one can presume to know if Jake really shipped it off or not.
No one on here has a right to jump to conclusions which slander Jake's reputation, in my opinion. Keep your inferences to yourself, until something comes of this. If Jake truly did something wrong, he will pay for it legally and financially, and if he didn't and the tranny gets there tomorrow, he doesn't deserve to have his reputation on AF crushed for a mistake that may not have been his fault.
And Dayna, Jake has not been paid "very well" for some of the repairs he's done, especially considering the money in gas he had to spend to drive to some of these locations. He was paid no more than the person he helped would have had to pay a mechanic, and that does not include his travel charges.
I do not believe anyone on here is sticking up for Jake because he's a moderator, so stop jumping to conclusions there as well. He has spent a lot of unnecessary time explaining to people how to fix their cars, doing it for them, or otherwise offering advice, none of which reaped him any significant rewards.
I definitely think all of this third party speculation needs to stop.

It is none of my business to tell anyone on this forum some of the stuff I know about Jake. Thats why I kept my mouth shut. Do you know why he got fired from his last job? Do you know how he got his welding helmet? You probably don't.

I think hella fresh does have some clue. Noone can presume anything, but from the facts, he didnt ship the tranny. Put yourself in monkeys shoes for once. After a few months, you wouldn't be "patient".

When someone takes other people money and doesn't give them the parts they paid for, it is other peoples business. Are you going to buy stuff from Jake now? I would be surprised if anyone buys anything from him unless he clears this situation up. If it was a mistake by the shipping company, he would have shown the bill of lading. He hasnt, so he hasnt shipped the stuff. Stop being so ignorant.
And Dayna, Jake has not been paid "very well" for some of the repairs he's done, especially considering the money in gas he had to spend to drive to some of these locations. He was paid no more than the person he helped would have had to pay a mechanic, and that does not include his travel charges.
Well, from what Jakes, told me, hes gotten paid over a thousand dollars for some stuff hes done. He wouldnt waste him time if he didnt get paid very well. Gas isnt that much money. If he drove a thousand miles, he paid at the most $100 for gas. Big deal.

Yeah, I guess you did "literally" keep your mouth shut. But your fingers seem to be typing pretty fast, and what do you know, nothing you wrote is helping anyone.
Noone can presume anything, but from the facts, he didnt ship the tranny.
Wrong.
You would make a terrible lawyer. The facts do not permit anyone to conclude that he didn't ship the tranny. Mail gets lost, redirected, misdirected, shipped down the street, shipped to 63rd street instead of 63rd avenue, etc.
I bought a turbo from a guy, and it took 3 weeks to get here. That was a turbo--if he sent a tranny via ground shipping, with the holidays and all, it could still be en route, depending on when he shipped it, and where it had to go.
When someone takes other people money and doesn't give them the parts they paid for, it is other peoples business
And that's why everyone who reads this thread will know that space-monkey bought a transmission from Jake, and it has not gotten there yet, even 6 weeks later. That is the fact. Slandering and name-calling does not have to commence for people to be informed.

Very mature, Dayna. Maybe my prefacing that opinion with "I think" was too offensive to you, personally.
