At the very least this guy is running a business with absolutely no capital and is using money from new orders to fulfill old orders, which is still a ponzi scheme. I would take his board sponsorship away. It's not right to allow him to keep putting more members in jeopardy of being taken advantage of.
Bingo!

... why do you have to be so shady man? Carbon monoxide poisoning... wrong tracking numbers... and you promised to have some dudes refund back and now say that you will send him a 100 bucks? What the F are we your personal piggybank? Come on spawn - remember how much the community supported you in the start? Well thanks for going and ruining the trust that forum members will have in other small vendors like you who will eventually pop up - who might have a legitimate business ethic

If you followed up you'd have seen that all those customers have been taken care of but of course nobody wants to see both sides...

Other then taht I feel you should know that one customer that demanded a refund is because he purchased something then wanted to get a refund 3 days later because he wanted more christmas money. No other company would have even thought about refunding him. So hes lucky that we are even giving him one. Most who I've spoken to have agreed.

ok - you have folks over at G37 who have not got your product yet. The only "proof" that any one here has gotten anything is the fact that you have sent out "tracking" numbers... We are not stupid here man... Proof is in the pudding... and I am yet to see one person come out and say - hey I got my crap from Spawn. And whats worse is you have a group buy going. I would not feel safe investing in anything you are making until a lot of folks get and review their products. 3 Months for a 150$ refund is UNACCEPTABLE!

That is not the point. we expect a certain level of professional courtesy from our vendors and I am afraid you have not met it.

This has gone on too long, and group buys just perpetuate the problem further.

You made the statement originally that you would not get ahead of yourselves, well guess what that ain't happening. As far as my b-pillars they will be coming back to you for the manufacture defect on the driver's side. I have tried to keep this back channel but after fronting money and hearing promise after promise, enough is enough, what I waited 3+ months for was not worth my time.

No doubt you'll do lots of business here, but so far all I have is questions as to the real quality of your finished parts...

Can you please make sure all deals with myG37 users are through before canceling your sponsorship John? Those who are waiting on products or expecting refunds etc..
Quote:
If those few people who ordered had received their product, I'm sure they would have posted reviews, pics, etc., which in turn, would have led to more sales. There is always a snowball effect.

Remember, early adopters are the most outspoken. If you get them on your side, you've gotten past the hard part.

What a joke some of these companies are man. Some people have NO F&^%$G IDEA how to run a successful business and it pisses me off so much to see people get taken advantage of and lied to all the effing time.

What a joke. Sorry for all the crap he put you guys through, it's not what we want/promote here on MYG37 and I can honestly say I'm glad that this company or whatever you want to call it is leaving. You guys are some patient dudes. I woulda raised hell the minute I smelled something fishy. I work hard as hell for my feria and to have some crooked company who knows the best way to formulate the worst excuses take it from me and do whatever the hell they want with it with nothing in return? Hell no.

Where is the rest of my money John? I'm done with your excuses...

Still waiting on the rest of my money to be refunded...

So I guess this is really not going to happen so here it is. I was the original person who sent them a stillen splitter to get wrapped in CF back in september and I still havent received anything. It was "suppose" to be shipped out tuesday Dec 14th but I havent received any confirmation email from John. I emailed em this morning and havent received a response from them at all. At this point I feel like I've been more then patient and I'am really f@ckin pissed, not only did I lose a splitter but I lost $400 bucks. 3 months of empty promises from John. I had to speak my peace about this whole situation. I wish Spawn the best but I dont see a company going anywhere from this type business.

Sweet jesus, someone did his homework.

I will try (in vain) to stay neutral, but I should mention that B Pillars are shipping (...or he shipped what he had, I have no idea, nor can I speak for Spawn Aero). JakeZ34 and I for sure got ours, don't know about the rest. The group buy thread has been quiet in terms of pictures. I'm not going to put mine up until John and I have resolved our issue with one of them, but at this point I'm perfectly fine leaving the OEM ones on. And I'd like to believe that verbal agreements (er...PM'd agreements) are still valid contracts.

John,
what is the other side?

At this point it's not about the money, but the principal. You're in over your head. You can't refund everybody you owe money too! That is called negative cash flow.

It's time to do yourself a favor and call it. You have promised me that my b pillars are on the way, then gave me a bogus tracking number. Then tell me that you will send me more b pillars for the mistakes, when you can't even fulfill your other orders.

I get empty promises week, after week, after week that the problem would be corrected. But here I stand in front of you with half my money.

Yes, you have slowly giving me a refund, but a real company would have refunded the whole amount, and not half over 6 months.

Anyway, I wish you luck in the future,

Yours Truly,
A Lost Customer!
p.s. don't worry about the rest of my money, your not worth my time.
