it depends how he shipped it. he could have sent it third class USPS just to cut down on costs, that could take a while. I'd give it to the weekend, maybe he's just been busy. Rob

i sent him 215...board was 200..and he said shipping was 15...so i guess that could be the case.. Question

I think it takes about a week to send it ground from California to Minnesota, so you may just be a little anxious.

Standard UPS Ground service from California to North Dakota usually takes around 5 business days. I wouldn't expect it until at least tomorrow if he shipped it on Friday.

$200, it think that the cost that the shops pay for the board is around 250. Why would he mark down a product 50 dollars? You got screwed man. Sorry

It take 5-7 day's. If he shipped late Friday it probably didn't go out until Monday. Remember the weather has been fairly bad back east so that can cause some shipping delays. You should have your board by Wed.

shops pay about 150-180 for boards. at least the one i work at pays that.

Always get a UPS/fedex tracking number, and have the guys phone number from who your buying, and always try to buy from some one that doesnt have a recently created account, or not many feedbacks (ebay buying). And also pay in checks/money orders, where u can track if they've cashed it yet

Just a few things you pick up buying/selling as much crap as i do.
Also, be patient, sometimes they can forget to send it that day, miss a shipment, a package that supposed to go out friday may get delayed before getting sent to receiving, which means it doesnt get processed till monday, shipped monday/tuesday, which would throw off your receiving date by almost 3 days.

Tracking numbers are your best friend, always always get one.

Hope this helps a little

I sold a board about a year ago, I made the mistake of saving about $4, to ship it post office ground, it took 1 1/2 weeks to get from TX to FL, needless to say the guy I sold it to was really worried, but I emailed him constantly to see if he had gotten the board, I would be concerned if he won't answer your emails......give it a day or two then panic

I ordered a Parks board from a guy on here for $270. He is in Utah, I live in Georgia. I got it in 2 days. Shops mark their gear and boards up 50% unless it's on clearance.
