He's had my MAF/TB and full set of Valve Covers for almost 5 months now. I'm currently out all my parts and almost 300.00 PLUS I have a 3L project on hold because I need those parts for the build.
Every email I have sent has gone ignored - every PM that I have sent either says "so sorry they will go out Monday" or again goes ignored. Any phonecall goes directly to an answering machine which never states who its for.
Absolutely the WORST transaction I have ever had and am going crazy with hate.
DO NOT GIVE HIM YOUR BUSINESS!
I'm in the same situation. I sent a spare set of valvecovers i had, my svt UIM and throttlebody, that section of intake that the iac hose attaches to, and my MAF and MAF adapter last June. My order totaled over $400.
At first communication wasn't bad. But then i was told that his oven took a [censored] on him and he had to build a new one. Since then i've barely gotten a reply from him. All of my emails have been ignored. And almost all my PM's to him on these forums have gone unanswered as well. But then i finally got a PM from him on here on the 8th of August:

Happy that he was finally done i waited for shipping info...which never came. So, i started the whole emailing/PM'ing process over again. To which he never replied to them...again. Then, i get an email on the 25th of August in which he said:

At this point i'm a bit agrivated so i email him back and said that i don't care for a pic, i just want my stuff back. Now, here we are, a month later and STILL NO [censored] WORD FROM HIM! Thankfully, somebody gave me his phone numbers since he doesn't list them on his site. But, like NVMYCAT, all i get is a machine to which the person doesn't even indentify themselves. It's just "We're not here, leave a message." Hell, for all i know i'm leaving messages at some strange dudes house. The cell number isn't any better... I don't wish to start flaming him or to start a hate thread here. I just want my stuff finished and back in my hands. It's been almost 4 months now. I want to know what the hell is goin on. Is my stuff finished or not, and if so, what the hell is taking him so long to ship my stuff back to me. Also, i'd like to add that at present moment my car has no MAF or IAT sensor. The MAF is with him and the IAT is just sitting out in the open. There is no place to put it as my intake consists of a stock UIM/throttlebody, then goes to the accordian tube and then strait to a cone filter. I don't want to cut the accordian to just so i can put the IAT sensor back in the intake path. Where as my car is still drivable, it's just not a good idea to drive it a lot. So i only start and drive it if absolutely neccessary. I absolutely need these parts back now. The body work is almost complete and i don't want to have to drive it back home without those intake peices if i can help it. I could have it towed, i supposed. But i really don't want to see my fresh body work and paint screwed up by some hillbilly jackass that don't give a [censored]. So is there anybody that can help us out in this situation?
People shouldn't run a business if they can't keep their priorities straight or their end of the contract up.
