Third gen customs

I am so tired of dealing with this guy bought some locks for my car and he took forever to find them. then after two weeks he got them and I got four different excuses as to why the stuff didn't ship then he offered me free parts to make up for the loss now a month later i get the excuse that the post office didn't ship the package.... Yea right papal dispute has been filed now. Hopefully I can get my cash back don't make the mistake I made guys...

Re: Third gen customs

I am not sure why people keep dealing with him when there is tons of negative feedback on these boards. Do some research on a vendor before sending them your hard earned money.

Re: Third gen customs

Scarbucket you really need to check out the two threads in the feedback section. There is, or at least was, an investigation into this vendor. Don't know the outcome yet.

On paypal there are. After so many complaints (ive no idea the number, or dollar amount) they will shut your account down. I know that's not hard to counter, but...

Re: Third gen customs

The word "custom" is a warning sign from what I have heard. Maybe it takes a while to make it custom.

Yeah that's wrong don't fall for what he did to you. Any man without his word is a broken man, and won't last very long.
