Total time I waited was 9 months.

he wont even call me back!

man, i just want my wheels...

File a chargeback with your card company! Then order from
Ravspec, it's the only way you'll get what you want. I didn't even bother to tell Rick I canceled my order seeing as he never bothers to answer me. He could talk to my bank now.

If you check FB you'll notice a company name change... Just saying... :ugh2:

What does that have to do with anything? He's changed the name 4 times since I've been waiting for wheels.

Just noting that it happened again, and usually when business' change names, they change numbers and address' etc. So for the rest of the guys that keep calling and don't get answers, there's prolly a good reason to it...

As for your case, honestly, unless you're just going to cut your losses and write it up as a don't do that again, you keep hounding them no matter how many times they change their name until they give you your money back or your product. (Not saying you aren't, just judging by you're response you are aware of it)

Usually, when a company changes names and locations it's because they recently filed for bankruptcy. When they move as much as VIP does it's usually a pretty good sign it's a scam, which is what many believe VIP is.

I agree with what you said about there's probably a good reason to a company not responding. That's only to a certain point though. If you've been doing business with a company for months and one week you can't seem to be in touch with them, there's probably a good reason. When you are working with a company for over a year though, and throughout that year you can't seem to be in contact with them at all then it has something to do with the business.

I hounded for 8 months and officially got nothing. There was no way I was just going to cut my losses and write it up as a don't do that again. The only option I was left was to file a chargeback since I could not contact Rick himself for a return.

I hear you bud, I can't believe the runaround that has gone on with this company. At one point I was interested in some of their parts, but not anymore. I don't care who on here will vouge that they're a decent person. I have seen enough... :shakes head:

Some people have had good experiences and some really bad. I dont think VIP was a scam personally. I bought wheels from them with no problem but again mine was a different case. Also, I think this came down to supplier issues and not being able to get wheels to customers in a timely manner.

Another one bites the dust :shakes head:

GL bro. What others have said... file a charge back now, don't wait too long.

Go with RAVSPEC
 

Ordered my wheels from Mark @ RAVSPEC after backing out of a possible deal with Venaci. So happy I did.

Mark is very knowledgeable, straightforward about the wait / delivery time, and more importantly, provided outstanding communication during the entire process. He is great to deal with. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

Wheels are in = ON TIME !!! :happydance:

See, with any company I don't feel your experience should be hit or miss. As a business, you should want every experience to be positive with the consumer. Obviously there is always going to be a case when a consumer isn't happy, but when it's a large percent of your clientell maybe it's time to try something different. I agree that the supplier was partly the issue, but that still is no reason to ignore customers. If Rick would be in contact with me like a company should be with a customer, then I would still gladly be waiting for my parts and this thread would of never got started. Not to mention, the info he gives out is false. Up until last month I was lead to believe I was getting wheels made by work. If somebody didnt go digging and find out who he switched too I doubt Rick would of ever told me my wheels weren't made by work. If he had been honest, I would not of cared as long as they were still made by a quality company.

Those are beautiful Hen Eggs!! These are exactly what I was waiting on from Rick and it's clear I chose the wrong company. Enjoy them! I will hopefully be ordering the same ones from Mark once I get my new car.

With all due respect sir...

Buullllssssshhhhiiiitttt.

Rick could have picked up the phone and called his customers.
