Default Disappointed

I need to know the correct procedure to complain about a business that advertises on the forum. I was in need of a part and contacted the business. We arranged for the money transfer and the part to be delivered. However, I received the part and called the business after installation to inform them that the part might be defective. I was told not to worry due to the fact that if anything happened, it would be quickly remedied. The part broke three weeks later. I sent it back to the business and now all I get is the runaround. Any help in explaining to me what I should do, would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck getting this resolved. 99% of the vendors here bend over backwards to keep you happy. Do like GrayC5 suggests and hope it all works out.

Yaeh but it's that 1 % that tries to bend you forward that hurts. ! ask madeouttaglass, he is so use to it, he is beginning to enjoy it.


He was telling me the other day that he thought prison life might be fun and fulfilling...

join the club, i'm the 1% bent forward
ordered 4.10 gears and hardened ouput shaft Aug 23
they billed my credit card Sep 15
it is almost Thanksgiving- i still have nothing

the worst is that i've been told a few times that it was going to ship. The last occasion i disassemble the car and yanked the differential, so it would be a quick swap- of course, it never shipped.

I see great posts from members who live near them, but I am not a local so i guess i am not important

Geez guys ... that's too bad.

I guess I have always been fortunate in dealing with fellow members and supporting vendors.

Good luck with the resolution.
