The address the parts were to be sent to was:
Atlant USA Inc
250 W Artesia Blvd
Compton CA 90220
(cut & pasted from the same message from the shipper as the one I
originally cut & pasted to Tevis).
Tevis' selfrighteous response to my posting on TheSamba, and my reply:

actually, I have the box right here. I went to fedex and they said
theres no business by that name. this was shortly after being scammed
on the samba by someone complaining to paypal about non receipt after
i sent it to the address they asked me to shipped to instead of their
confirmed address. "Andrew" used his sister in laws paypal account
from canada to pay for something to be shipped to Los Angeles when hes
in New Zealand...to a company that doesnt come up on google and fedex
says isnt there....all with 4 to 5 weeks between his emails.
how about the dozens of happy customers i've had on the samba and the
100's on ebay and other groups? if Andrew can provide a legitimate
address i can ship to I would be happy to reship the box. also,
everett, instead of sending me a harrassing email using your alias why
dont you email me and at least ask me what happened first. ive been on
the samba for a while and have had many happy customers.
Really? Well, why the hell haven't you sent the parts? You have my
money (paid by my BROTHER-in-law's account because I refuse to have a
creditcard). The address was to me c/o Robbie Stevens, Imperial
Freight, Atlantl... Compton, CA. Google for Atlantl. It comes up just
fine. I live in NZ. Of course the shipping address is different to the
"confirmed" address! You are stupid enough to tell the forum that you
are the crook. How the hell do you expect me to get the parts to NZ
except by shipping from LA? Happy customers? Really?
Well, *I'm* not one of those.
Ask you first? I have sent a number of messages, not one in any way
accusing you of anything... but you wouldn't reply.
If you are honest and have really tried to send the parts, you will
PHONE FedEx and ask why they can't find a valid address... an
international container shipper at that! But of course you know that
I'm not a scammer BECAUSE YOU ALREADY HAVE MY MONEY. How then can *I*
be the scammer?
Note to vanagon listees: Tevis calls himself "vwparts" on TheSamba's
feedback forum. There is noi misunderstanding as far as I can see. I
paid via my brother-in-law and provided a valid sending address. Tevis
managed to drag things out so that it was well past PayPal's cutoff
date for reversal of payment. Hopefully my brother-in-law can get his
creditcard company to reverse it anyway... unless Tevis actually sends
the parts and FedEx is capable of finding a driver who can find his
own butt with at most two hands.
