Cut a long story short, I paid a guy Matt Norton at Socalstreetrods money for a set of new billet hinges and he agreed to send it to my shipping agent in Wilmington California. My shipping agent tells me that they never received the goods. After numerous emails to this guy, he finally replies and tells me that he sent it directly to my address here in Australia and that he did not put a tracking number on it due to the cost. $55 was what he paid and it would of been $200 with tracking number. These are billet aluminum hinges that weigh next to nothing. So now he says that he can supply another set at half the price. I just want my money back, which wont happen. He wont reply to my emails so there is not much I can do from my end, except warn you guys about him and his business. He probably did'nt send them at all, who knows...
.... He probably did'nt send them at all, who knows...
There's no probably to it...he didn't. Especially, knowing you were in Austrailia, he figured he could get away with it. As far as the tracking number, he should have gave you the option to pay for it. No matter if it was extra or not. Anyway, not to sound negative about it. Just my $.02. I hope you get them. Nevertheless, buy from Ringbrothers or Fesler and you shouldn't have this problem in the future.
Seems to be the growing trend with this kind of industry. Its sucks that I have to whinge and bitch but I am F@#*%&!!!! right now. Its people like the ones mentioned that take the fun out of rebuilding a muscle car.
I think I might have opened up a can of worms (angry from the last guy who ripped me off) so I have removed that sentence as I have a huge amount of money riding on these parts and out of fear of being ripped off again, I am gonna nip this in the bud because I know he reads these forums. I can live with losing $375 but not what I have paid the latter.
Seems to be the growing trend with this kind of industry. I am still waiting on parts from a guy who's name has been mentioned here before. Had to pay him up front and I am still waiting a year and a half for some parts. Its sucks that I have to whinge and bitch but I am F@#*%&!!!! right now. Its people like the ones mentioned above that take the fun out of rebuilding a muscle car.
NO part takes a year and half.....
Give us the name! We'll gather a mob and show up at his house with torches...
