I advise everyone to go through their bank and try to get their money back. Explain the whole situation and provide all correspondence from the vendor. It's worth a shot... they might be able to refund you the money and leave the bank to deal with the vendor.

P.S. I ordered some new wheels from Ravspec as well ^_^

He knows damn well what he's doing. It's all excuses. The guy has supposively been in business for 10 years. Like you said, I'm sure this isn't the first time he's shipped internationally. This is a very shady company and if Rick doesn't come up with answers soon I will be filing a law suit as well as contacting the Better Business Bureau

Sux it had to end like this for some of you (if not all) but it could also be a good thing too that the wait is gone.

I've been with some of you from the beginning til now and to see y'all wait this long and come up empty handed is just sad. Y'all have given Rick more than enough chance(s) to make things right but he didn't deliver. Despite the "free stuff" or "discounted price" he's giving y'all isn't worth the extended wait IMO.

I went back to the VIP Status thread over on my350z and saw when y'all subscribe to that thread and found:

definitionxmk 01-10-2011 (been waiting since Aug. 2010)
AbgYak 02-24-2011 (today was the day wheels suppose to be in... been waiting 6 months prior to that)
billy02987 03-27-2011 (been waiting since January)

I also notice Rick is ban from my350z due to not paying sponsorship fee (I think) and it's sad b/c the 350z community is HUGE... it's a gold mine over there and for him to be out of pocket like that is sad, or is it a good thing :ugh2:

GL everyone and keep us posted :tup:

The vendor you've mentioned would be the first place i'll go when i get my cash back from Status!!... 8-10 weeks should be reasonable ... unlike the other one which takes 40 weeks or so without any solid results.. hmph :mad:

BTW Rick, if you're reading this, please check your email.. im sure there's one from paypal waving for your attention....

What did you say to paypal?

PM sent...

Message from the shipping company

As per our conversation. Let me check on TUES to see if I can get shpt to Brunei directly or not. Since the major airport is Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.

Before you post why don't you tell the full story!:shakes head:
Why don't you tell people your posting here right now casue you want your free kit?

Other then the free kit i'm sending you what other free parts you already have.
This guy said 2 wheels we shipped got damage,we ask for pictures.never got it.But i sent him 2 brand new wheels+tires right away drop ship from japan by air. Cost for shipping $1000."we paid"
The he said the AP BBK we sent him was almost damage.
Everything we ship we pack it really good.
Then he ask for a invoice and make it full price so he can calm insurance.
All these things he said happen but never got a picture.
So i feel bad for the guy so i'm giving him a free kit.Even when he already got a full kit already.
So the guy came up on
2 new wheels $1850
2 new tires $600
$1000 shipping
and a free lip kit and shipping $1800
Bro so before you start posting sh*t here tell the story right.:shakes head:

Rick, FYI i've already file a dispute to the transaction at paypal.. im sure paypal has notify you about that. If u're still willing to send all my stuff by next Tuesday, you're more than welcome to try, but i wont close the dispute. By then if i receive no official solid tracking number by the end of the day, i will escalate the dispute to paypal claim.. So its up to paypal to decide..

This will be the last chance!! I dont care if the shipping company can only send all the stuff the next day or the next minute after Tuesday.. i dont want to listen any of those bull reasons.... 10 Months Rick... 10 Months!! I've been very cool with you all this time.. trying to get updates but still the same old reason... now my patience is at its limits....

I will link this conversation to the paypal resolution centre for reference..

It not that we don't want to pay to be on there bro.
Don't know about it being a gold mine.
Look at the things people sell on there now.
Cheap fake wheels,lugs nuts and spacer.Maybe a few people here and there selling a few good wheels
Wheels & Tires - MY350Z.COM Forums

So what are you saying? So you want me to ship it and you keep the dispute open? Or you going to clear it up when it gets there.
Tuesday i will give you the infor you need.But once it get to your airport.
You let me know what you want to do.I will put a hold on it at the airport Untill You clear it up.

if you got all your $$ back why you still asking about your wheels.
I pm you when you got your $$ back,and no pm back from you.
What you want me to send you a set of wheels after that?

I will only clear the dispute once the items arrived to me and are all in the box. Just incase some are missing or damaged. I will give you my word that i will close the dispute once im satisfied with all the items.. cause if any problems arose, i wont be able to open another dispute & may be a loss to me. This is the case only if i receive the tracking number by next Tuesday 31st May 2011.

Otherwise as i mentioned earlier, if i dont receive any official solid tracking number by the end of Tuesday 31st May 2011, i will escalate the dispute to paypal claim.. So again, its up to paypal to decide..

Sorry i have to do this, or else i dont have anything to hold on!!!

Rick Where do I start?,

Firstly it took over a year to receive my parts.... When you indicated 8 weeks hmmm also all my quotes from you were to my door including duties/taxes but that never happened did it? I ended up paying over $700aud to clear the shipment over here plus then delivery to my address:shakes head: you had promised to pay me that and still have the emails to prove it! "so still have not received that" also for the massively excessive delay in my order you also promised a takata intake and engine kit and body kit which is all well and good to say what you've done and what you plan to do for me, but until I see any of this, talk is cheap.
Also in regards to the kit u say i already got, your right i have, and i payed for that in full through andrew harrell which u had no contribution too, I have since sold that kit!.
However I did tell you I do not care about the intake aslong as I receive this bodykit that you have promised me........also I should note that I cancelled my financial complaints against your business with my bank, as a result of your promise to fullfill our arrangement of the bodykit.
So if you could please forward me the tracking number of the current air freight by tuesday night would be much appreciated.

It's sad a business is ripping of a kid in college, with a full time job, making minimum wage..
I don't have much money and I saved a long time for wheels for my Z. It's hard enough to make my payments on my car. The only reason I have my job is to pay for my car really. I'll probably end up selling my car before I even get the wheels I ordered...
