Do a little research before sending any money. Google the vendor's name and/or telephone number. Contact their local BBB. Ask on a forum if they are reliable.

When the transaction is completed, post a review. If they screwed up, warn us. If they did a good job, spread the love.

Use a credit card or Paypal "regular" payment. It's much more difficult to dispute a charge on a debit card and a Paypal donation is gone forever.

Buy from sponsors/members of this forum. If they screw up, we can all go after them. Example.

been pretty bummed so havnt been on the forums lately but it was debit card and I believe thats why bank cant/wont help. He says hes going to refund the money but im sure ill be waiting months to get it if I ever even receive. Spoke with local pd and hes supposed to be sending check with tracking number tomorrow since first one got "lost in the mail" which i find very hard to believe.. so if nothing tomorrow will be filing police report

ETnismo · 09-16-2013, 07:06 PM

There should be some forum guy's from New York that could pay them a visit! It would be worth a plane ticket to visit those guy's and walk in with the Police. Shops like that should be run out of business

You are handling it well. I 40 and all I can see is RED after reading this thread.

They are out of Selden New York. I know a couple members here live nearby. Can someone drive up there for this individual to straighten things out? Business is Business.

hey guys i actually received the check yesterday (was here thursday but usps is a joke) and i deposited it and the money was posted this morning. Ive already placed another order for the exhaust with Mark at 370ztune. hes been very helpful throughout the entire thing and i would recommend them to anyway.

ETnismo · 10-01-2013, 07:00 PM

Turns out the check i received bounced and hes giving every excuse to why and keeps coming up with new reasons he cant send the money right now. Dont make the mistake of dealing with this guy or his company.
