Message	I did a guy a favor in NY and shipped him some Z31 interior parts (it was a rather large box), and just had him pay shipping. He gave me his FedEx account #, and I used that to ship it. Two months later I get a $65 bill from a collection agency. The guy in NY rejected the shipping cost, but kept the parts. I just said fuck it and paid the bill. I hope he gets hit by a bus.
