Interesting info you gave. Because a whois on his domain comes up with a Antonio Brown in Virginia Beach. All Star Design LLC also has a FB page based in VA.

You're going to get a full refund right? Why would you want to keep this trash (if you do decide to keep it for whatever reason) ?

It seems like anyone who I've debated ordering from has been having some troubles. First Visconti, and now FA20Club.

I hope they get their stuff together. A reputation is really important to a shop like this.
Yeah, I want to believe they just got over whelmed by growth and were not able to cope with the demand....

@woode sorry you got stuck with this pile of broken sh!t you now have to go back and fix.

Hit me up at nasioc (@maxplanck over there) and I'll pass it along.

I'd like to be wrong on this one and find out it was just some fat finger mistake or misunderstanding.
You must have broke the code, haha. I'm back.

Once you chose to take people's money none of that matters. You don't take the cash unless you can delivered as promised.

If you can't keep up you limit your orders. There are ways to manage things.

Yes, well the RESPONSIBLE and PROFESSIONAL thing to do at that point is BACK ORDER ITEMS. As in, 'We are sorry but we are unable to take any additional orders at this time, we can place you on a waiting list if you would like." This all of course while NOT charging until you are able to fulfill their order. Kind of like other PROFESSIONAL organizations do.

I'm sorry but that's your response to this?

I mean if ohlin's employees have a family they can just skip with shock dyno's? Or Vortech can get a little sloppy with their blower assembly because Brian is going through some family drama.

@woode @nelsmar @Frs300 The best thing, and the worst thing about the internet is that it never goes away. Everything you do goes into some archive somewhere, and although you may think it's gone, it comes back to get you in the worst way.

So, I got bored and started searching All Star LLC, Toni Brown, and florida... man, the things you start digging up. It was going through threads, and other car forums for hours. It seems like he's been doing this since the early 2000's, and I know that the forums rules are new forum, new chance, but you guys remember Vivid right?

My favorite tidbit... This Wiki page.

http://www.corporationwiki.com/Flori...-P5999681.aspx

I'll leave that breadcrumb for some of the more curious folk.


P.S. someone should reply to me just in case I get the King Tut treatment here and go bye bye for a month.

Sometimes on this forum if you say the wrong thing about vendors you get put in the corner on time out.
