Did those guys who ordered ever get there stuff? Are they even still in business? I really wanted to order one of their heatshields, but i haven't heard anything about them in awhile. Please update me on their fate.
My order that I ordered.. Oh.. in May or so hasn't showed up and I've never heard a word from them since they pretty much dropped off the face of the earth.
Same thing here. I'm not done with this yet though ...
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.
I ordered mine on may 8th and i am will all of youll. but unless LB comes up with anything i am through with it.
I recently talked to Chad, and he and Alex are no longer in business together, since Chad has now moved to Cali. Chad is though looking for a place out in Cali to start mass producing the heatsheilds, so he said to look for them to be coming out again, but just under a different name. I'm sure that everything will work out for those who are have already paid.
Well seeing as how I can't use it anymore since I have a flangeless MAF and it's designed for a flange I just want my money back. I'll make my own thank you very much.
Yeah.. if he does come back I hope no one orders anything from him... heck he shouldn't even be allowed back on CEG.
I would be submitting mail fraud charges to the postal service .
I may be the first CEG member to purchase a heat shield from these guys through their "Group Buy." I did receive mine, but even then there were clear indications they were going to have problems such as delays and no communication.
Sometimes nothing kills a small manufacturing business quicker than too much success. I think that once these guys got behind on fabrication there was no way they would ever catch up.
Needless to say they should at least make refunds, as keeping the money is thievery.
Something tells me that they probably do read these postsâ?¦but not using their original handles!
Chad, Alex return these peopleâ??s money â?? you did nothing to earn it, and in our connected world, this will come back to haunt you.
makes sense to me, but it's extremely horrible that they took the time to start a business with a web site and all, and just disappear after taking dozens of people's money including mine. The only reason I bought through them is because they were a CEG business and well respected by most of the members here. I guess trust is nothing. I just want my heatshield
