I paid on June 5th. Haven't heard even a whisper from Chad or Alex. I've e-mailed both. And I've e-mail Chad since he changed his addy on Paypal.
I paid through paypal. I put in a transaction dispute with paypal on July 28th. Paypal didn't even call me about it. If it's over 30 days, who cares over there. I called them again recently, and they said they notified him of the dispute (no other action was taken by paypal though), and that if they recieve enough disputes to the same account, they'll actually investigate it. So if you paid by paypal, and haven't recieved anything yet. Put in a dispute. It might do some good. If you did actually get a response please let me know.
If I had a postal address for him I'd look into legal actions against him. I know it'll cost more than the heatshield cost. But I'd hope to get a response that way. See if he still exists.
I'm ranting so I'll stop.


Make it idiotproof, and they'll make better idiots.
