Re: Has anyone heard from Pocket?
my wiring harness came today. haven't seen the package yet so i can't comment on its contents, but it's back so at least i can start working on getting it sorted out myself.

94, 95, 96, 97 really doesnt matter.
Unless its a 92/93 its not enough to be worth even waiting for shipping to deliver it even if he had a 96/97 one in hand.

If he thinks I'm going to let this go, he's wrong. Whether it's $100 or $1,000, it's the principle that is lacking here and he knows he is in the wrong.

Re: Has anyone heard from Pocket?
Upset isnt the word to describe it. He left out the multiple calls at all hours of the day and night for the last 2 months. Incredibly rude and voicemails from both he and his father. Ive had it with them
Ive built him 3 harnesses, 4 if you count the pro-bono rebuild when he was "just tidying up". This last one was lost in the mail and no, I cant dig up the tracking number. Their attitude is the reason Ive ignored them. I sent his money back even though the harness was completed because I was sick of dealing with him. Nick, I will NOT be sending a refund for shipping as Ive sent the one for the deal AND the new one. You've been refunded what was in my log book and noted on my bank account. I will not send another dime unless you show a copy of the money order stub listing the amount as otherwise. Funny how the amount changed from the initial dispute to now from $550 to $500 to $350 to $330 to $300. I keep a log for this very reason
I dont see how you think Im letting this go. I did the job for a specified amount. It was lost in shipping, or you received it and are lying. No idea which, either way I dont care anymore. You were refunded the amount and given replacement harnesses. The matter is settled

Re: Has anyone heard from Pocket?
The $500 I asked for would have covered the $320 (not 230) that I paid you plus two harnesses to replace the ones that I mailed you that were "lost in the mail". Its funny how the harnesses you pulled from a yard and sent to me were shipped in the very box that I used 8 months ago yet somehow the contents that I sent in that box have been lost.
If you can think that I would act like you lost my stuff while really having already recieved it, delaying my build for months by my own doing, you are a complete idiot. I have a car with every single thing done except for a harness sitting at a shop that is charging me to have the car there. Get real. you think I would make all this up...please
Its a shame that you went from such a great help to me and others to being a stones throw from a scam. Yes, a scam because I did pay you $320 and it looks like you are going to stiff me on that. No suprise there after you made promise after promise that you would get my harness done and shipped over the last 4-5 months.
And yes I have texted late at night but do not recall calling that late because you are so incredibly hard to get ahold of.
Honestly, thanks for holding my build up for the better part of a year. I really aporeciate it.

Re: Has anyone heard from Pocket?
And for the record, you offered to redo my "pro bono" harness as you call it because I had wires breaking apart at the extensions by the ECM and you wanted to keep a good reputation. That was the main factor not necessarily that I wanted to tidy up the harness under the hood.
And you wouldnt have received multiple voicemails and texts if you would have the courtesy to return the first one. Talk about being rude, holding me up for so long, having my money and my harnesses and you dont even call me back. What do you expect? I had already found another third gen owner in Mocksville that was willing to make a personal visit on behalf of all the people you screwed but I gave you the chance to make it right, which you still havent.

Re: Has anyone heard from Pocket?
Im really hung up on the fact that the two harnesses you shipped to me are in the same Crinkle Cut French Fry box that i used 8 months ago but you managed to lose my harnesses. Amazing.

Re: Has anyone heard from Pocket?
I just read this whole thread. The #1 thing that stands out to me is not the story line of harnesses and who has been righted and wronged, but the poor behavior and lack of discretion by a few people in the handling of a personal matter. In a purposeful attempt to ruin Pocket's reputation, some people have made a humiliating spectacle out of themselves as well. They just don't know it yet.
There was not, and never will be, a winner here. This thread should be closed (and deleted in my opinion).

Re: Has anyone heard from Pocket?
Normally I would agree with you in that some of the things said should have been left private, but he would only communicate when it was convenient for him, which was not often. Making things public really got the ball rolling.

Re: Has anyone heard from Pocket?
I'll tell you what, I don't mean to marginalize your problem but I don't think you have it in view with the right perspective. Your problem is chump change compared to what I went through last year with somebody at LS1tech.com. And I didn't even come close to the antics you're pulling. Your actions are entirely out of proportion to your problem. Again, I'm not judging if your complaint is right or wrong, I'm just trying to let you know that your tactics suck didely uck.
I'll stop making comments now. Choose your path and go about your way.

Re: Has anyone heard from Pocket?
I see nothing wrong with what BlueZee posted, and if I was in his situation I would do the same thing (and I have, for a lot less value)
I hope he gets his correct harness back and a FULL refund.
I know somebody that benefited from pocket's work, and I've seen it up close. It indeed was excellent. It's a real shame he has shattered his good name and reputation here.

Well, not having a dog in this fight, save the reputation of TGO, I'd say this has remained public long enough. What's going on now has nothing to do with the tech aspects of 3rd gen swaps.
