Beware of Intense Power

molamann · 10-05-2009, 05:27 PM

Hate to add this but I waited a little over a month for my Berk HFC from Intensepower. Why? Because my billing address and shipping address didn't match. Sounds like a legitimate reason right? Not quite when they didn't even notify me of this at all, in addition to withdrawing my money on the day of the order.

I had to be the one to constantly track somebody down at IP because they didn't reply my e-mail or answer my phone call for 2 weeks. Believe it or not, I finally got in touch with someone through their AIM support. In addition to that, I was getting extremely frustrated as their CSR on AIM took literally 30+ minutes to answer one question. I had several, you do the math.

Unless you live out in the boonies, I'm going to be doing my business locally.

This thread is fail. When i ordered a 4 into 1 header, 3" downpipe with a 02 extention for my wideband and a 3" magnaflow exhaust for my cobalt i was told it would be 3-4 weeks...i had it within 4-5 weeks (took 1 week longer due to them not knowing if i wanted the ceramic coating or not, but they tried to contact me, i was in the field)

HAVE SOME ******* PATIENTS AND STOP MAKING GHEY THREADS!

I hate waiting for parts just as much as the next guy but 11 days is well within a reasonable time frame for them to get backordered parts shipped to you. $3,000 is a decent chunk of change but I hardly think that Intense is attempting to defraud you of your money. They are a well established business and are one of the "old timers" when it comes to import speed shops.

Snakes709 · 10-05-2009, 07:44 PM

sorry "Patience"

INTENSEPOWER · 10-05-2009, 08:23 PM

OK OP has been pm'd. we have been extremely busy the past week and a half. We have been catching up from the phones being down the week prior to and shipping as many orders as quickly as possible.

We have been in business since 1999 and continue to help the community.

We have never defrauded anybody in the past. Our reputation is very clean within the industry and we will keep it that way.

I apologize for any unforeseen delays in the product as they were shipping directly from manufacture and they were given the dates you wanted them by.

I did offer wholesale pricing on the next order for OP should he choose to continue to do business with us in the future.

Thank you for your time and patience.

Classy response.

Respectful response, I finally appreciate a reply. That's all I wanted

G37Sam · 10-05-2009, 08:44 PM

Still sucks that the OP had to go through creating all this drama and attention over the boards to grab their attention. A company "serving the community" since 1999 should have established better customer service by now IMO. Delays are understandable when it comes to imported parts with overseas shipping (trust me, I know), writing a 1 min text saying there has been a delay and we apologize for that is not though.

Just my 2 fils

A company that doesn't answer their phone and email is a company I would never do business with. I don't expect a response in a few hours but definently in several days. Thanks for the heads up one more company to stay away from.

Snakes709 · 10-05-2009, 09:22 PM

i guess u miss the part where he said the phones have been down. If phones are down, the internet is down (if on dial up)...even with non-dial up, chances r the internet was down...probably the same supplier.

Zsteve · 10-05-2009, 09:28 PM

The part that got me was he says the dates were from the manufactor but they should have check on that for him and not blame the manufactor and they should have offered the whole sale on the current item. Just good customer service and business that way.
