Pretty sure they have had issues on every single group buy. Things dont look good for you.

Why do people keep buying from this guy? I have no sympathy anymore...with every group buy there are significant delays, a lack of communication, and all types of other unsettling stuff...

Too many threads about this already... With this many, you would think people would have done their research before buying... Or perhaps some just don't mind the wait and horrible customer service.

He's been banned for his shady business practices.

I asked him a few times if the TRD shift knob was not a replica, he said it's legit. Once I got it, it was a freaking replica as that the stitches were all sloppy and the H pattern is off from the D in TRD. Very shady.

I put in an order for the VG in January and the last I heard was a month ago. I'm going to file a chargeback with the bank. Bad experience.

I'm also in the process of a chargeback. I actually did have success getting JDM sidemarkers, so its not like he was totally screwing people over.
Even though there are deadlines for filing chargebacks, his communications indicating that things were ready to go etc. can reset the clock so to speak. I received an email in early January saying the buy was on and to expect it in 2-3 weeks, so my bank used that as the latest communication date. |
