adkarr24 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Has anyone ever shipped a Shootin' Hoops? I am looking into buying one from someone who would need to ship to to me, but he says that it may be difficult to ship without damaging it. If this is so, I dont know if I want to risk it. If any has any experience with it, your advice is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhawk22 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I have bought all 20+ of my shootin hoops from individuals that had to ship them. Your seller needs to take the machines apart & wrap them individually with bubble wrap. They should be able to get one machine in one box. I've never ordered less than 5 at once so they packed them differently. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooldini Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 make sure you didn't find the guy from craigslist in Pennsylvania I think he is a scammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adkarr24 Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Well, the guy I found is on Craigslist & lives in Pennsylvania so Im guessing maybe this is not the best purchase for me to make! just curious, what makes you think he is a scammer?

Quarter Master Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I would stay away from this one. Machines may already be damaged (cracked globe,cracked plastic,etc.) and he is going to try to blame the damage on shipping. I've run across this "scam" before.

adkarr24 Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Yea, that makes a lot of sense. I appreciate the advice! Too bad, I was hoping to land a Shootin' Hoops for a good price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooldini Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 well he first posted a stock pic from a website.He states this best represented his machine. I then asked for real pics of his machine. He then had some he took that day.They were of the older model which I have five of. Just seemed strange. Then I said I would buy once he told me what shipping would be. That was a week ago. I think he thought I knew he may be scamming and forgot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooldini Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Anymore talk with the shootin hoops guy in Pennsylvania? He never mentioned being worried about damage to me. I suggested he just take it to UPS to pack and ship. He was gonna do that then said something came up and he would take it the next day and that is the last I heard. I just don't trust him now.

Jax Snacks Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Don't know this guy in PA. But pipe stands are a pain to ship since many times the pole is rusted shut into the base and almost impossible to get apart without a heavy duty pipe wrench. Plus these are the larger 2 inch pipe stands. Jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
