About koreanautoimports

Hello guys

As of today and they have not sent it to me yet, I am beginning to think that they are going to keep my money.
I have already sent several emails and they take a long time to respond, the last reply was on April 17 telling me that on the 18th they would send the package and they would pass me the follow-up I am still waiting for, today I will send another one with a more annoying tone.

Please avoid this company at all costs.

What was your experence?

Kind regards

What didn't they send?
When did you order it?
When did they originally say you would get it?

Hello

They did not send a NEW * 2017+ VERSION "86" FENDER EMBLEM (red). to send to Spain.

With friend PayPal mode.

This was the last email 17 april

Hi Manu,

Sorry for the delay, our shipment department has been very behind this
week. Your package will be dispatched tomorrow.

Thanks for your continued patience.

I will forward the tracking number to you tomorrow.

Best Regards,

James

Dude.... never pay in friend mode from PayPal. If any company or person ask that you send money from PayPal as a friend or gift don't do it.


I hope they do the right thing and send out your badge.

that was my mistake, trust me believing that it would be a serious company. PayPal does not return the money in any way in friend mode right?

Well considering they are in Arizona it is not unreasonable to expect a couple of weeks to ship something to Spain.
Not sure how Spanish customs is but I have had stuff sit at the border customs for a month or more.


But...


The reviews are not promising!

The problem is that they have not given me the tracking number at any time, if they sent the request and telling me that they would send it to the next day as you can read in the e-mail.

The Spanish customs are very problematic but I know they send you a letter when they receive your package, so this does not bother me.


Are you from London? You bought at that store sometime?


Thanks for the answers, I'm sorry if my English is not very good, I'm using a translator


Very bad reviews about this seller, be carefull.

Your posts are understandable to translator is working.


Not sending tracking number does not mean they have not sent but they probably haven't. It was just a possibility.


I am in a London in Canada. You have never heard of it. I always check reviews before I buy anything so I would not buy from them even if they were the only place that had what I wanted.

if I gifted you $10 and then asked you to return my gift.... a good friend will, a bad friend won't.

businesses are never your "good friend" until they stand to lose something that impacts their business model or bottom line.

never, NEVER gift payment of any kind to anyone unless you are 1) "donating" for a hooker, or 2) you never want to see your money again. doesn't matter if it is a company or an individual, you use a form of payment that protects you.

They will send it. I have ordered from them many times.

Yes the communication sucks.

Yes sometimes they don’t reply.

But I’ve always received what I ordered. Just be patient. I think it’s run by one guy. Business owners for some reason always use “we” but often enough there’s only “I”. You’ll get your stuff.

Thanks all.

Pardon my ignorance. I did not know hehe. I'm going to look for it by Google.

See this where reviews can screw somebody over since like anything (recall) the people with complaints will ALWAYS be more vocal than those that are satisfied. There is not a hope in hell I would order anything from that vendor based upon the reviews. None.

Yeah there have been a few forum threads about them, and I always comment to calm to OP down lol. I understand the trepidation, I've been there myself. If I was ever left with an unfulfilled order, I'd join the yelling, but they've (he's?) always delivered. I think the problem is he can't afford extra staff and spreads himself too thin, which results in all these problems.
