Don't touch with a bargepoles

Back in May I paid for a GTA rear wing, including shipping, ~$800USD and after 8 months and 20 odd international calls have finally given up ever seeing the thing.

Unfortunately I was stupid, and didn't demand a receipt/invoice, paid via Western Union, and didn't google their reputation beforehand.

So far I've been told stories about shop moves, staff problems, laminators, but basically nothing happened until I started getting grumpy 3 months in. Presumably it's waiting on 'finishing', but it's been that way for the past 2 months (and 7 or so calls) and frankly is never going to happen, if it even exists.

After reading about your broken Scat crankshaft why do I get the feeling what you said above is a reoccurring theme with you?
