order from ray

[sirloinofbeef001]

I'm getting ready to order some stuff from ray and my question is, when ordering from him and you pay thru PayPal does the money somehow sit in escrow til the product is received?    or just PayPal alone....

If you use paypal your money is gone right away. If you are nervous at all you will need to use a credit card and go through the escrow account. I personally use payal and have had no issues for what it is worth.

I have also used paypal for my purchases from Ray. I have had no problems with any of my purchases.

Thanks guys. Last time I made an order, my wife ordered it and the part came to me destroyed. She returned them and will not do it for me now...

I placed my order fo 20x120 flex strips and 16x128 strings through ray last year. i paid with paypal. all arrived, i had one string that was defective. he sent another and did not ask for the defective one to be sent back.

it is scary thinking you are sending cash to someone in china. The reason so many people use ray he has shown to be reliable and trustworthy through the last couple of years. he must handle 100's of thousands of dollars each year. Since he posts all the invoices on his web page you can get an idea of some of the orders. one person ordered 100 strings of lights on a single order last year.

i will order through him again.

thanks

I would never send cash... Its PayPal alone. I just remember ppl saying something about escrow before and I didn't wanna do that....

Same here, Paypal. Ray is very trustworthy..

I think I did credit card and the escrow ... but Ray has been nothing buy reliable, honest and trustworthy.  When I got bad nodes (part of the early first year SS batch), he sent good replacement ones and some bonus stuff.  When he didn't have the 5amp power supply, he send me the 8.5amp for nothing extra.   I've placed 4-5 orders with him and no issues.  I usually pick the DHL shipping.

I ordered waterproof connectors through Ray, then realized I needed 3 wire vice 2 wire.  Had no problem changing the order and getting the right parts. I have subsequently bought several different things through his store using both the escrow and paypal, never a problem. FWIW

Made an order and hope it shows up soon. I feel anxious.... Maybe its all the coffee....

Those of you that have used Paypal, do you still order from the website or do you do it directly to Rays Paypal address?  I'm only asking because I got a quote from him and his Paypal address is in the bottom of the quote.

Thanks!

[Danbe]

Directly to Rays Paypal address
Good service

[rdebolt]

I just PM him what I want, get a quote and send money.

[SteveMaris]

I payed him direct as well. (I also asked here prior to doing it)
