Serious concerns regarding Tireburner163

[SurfaRiver]

About a month ago, I decided to convert my mustang froma C4 to a T5 set-up. Unfortunatley, the post under drivetrain is no longer there. In it, Josh agreed to send me a T5 with less than 30k on it, in very good shape he said, and other parts. I told him I needed to recieve the parts by August 4th in order to do the conversion. He promised several times that would not be a problem, and had the money order in his hands by July 23rd (10 days after postmark). He kept delaying sending it, but again promised it would be there by august 4th. August 4th came and nothing. Later, I recieved some of the other parts postmarked AUGUST 3rd. Since August 4th, Josh has blocked any means to communicate with me and refused to give me his phone number. Today, well over a week after he promised it woudl be here, I recieved the transmission, postmarked AUGUST 10th! Needless to say, I cannot do my conversion now, and it will have to wait a year.

I decided to scrape off the grease encrusted transmission to verify it was solid and much to my dismay I found no less than 2 signficant (more than an inch long) cracks through the shifter box. These were not from shipping because they were poorly sealed with caulk.

Strike three came when I added up the costs for what he shipped me. The total was well under $100, but Josh tacked on $170 for shipping. This is ridiculous. I would love for him to explain himself or defend himself, but since he blocked communication with me, I can do nothing but post here, the forum where he has 4000 posts and whatnot.
