http://raceappealkits.ecrater.com/pr...hp?pid=3950997

already sent an email to them. thats the only way to contact them apparently. i told them that i bought the lip kit a week ago and im still waiting for a tracking number. it also says that i gotta wait about 4 business days till i get a tracking number but tomorrow is the 5th official business day. im gonna be patient but if i dont have that lip kit by next week, something is up and im gonna have to file some type of dispute via paypal

try chilling out,,yes its a lot of money to you,, I understand
of course paypal is instant- thats whats great about it

Sounds like they have to order the kit from the maker- very common to do that and have it sent to you- never touches their hands--cheaper that way for them
its called Drop Shipping...4 day- 5 days--it will ship when they process paperwork

When you write the seller include the sale date, item number/description and paypal receipt number- very easy to backtrack with that info

Once the item is actually on a truck a real tracking number is issued

Better than some services that print a tracking number when the order to pick up is sent, could be hours or days before it really leaves the store

If the seller isn't a scam, it won't disappear into nowhere after the paypal payment has gone through. Simply one reply email telling the buyer what the hack is going on with his order, is sufficient to defuse this ordering problem.

Everybody knows processing and shipping takes time. However, not answering phone calls and not replying emails are typical signs of a bloody scam artist.

if the person who answers emails was on vacation or out sick,
that will stack up a pile that your is somewhere in

If there is a seller problem. paypal will refund you- dont sweat it
Being paranoid and pissy doesnt help anything

As a vendor once told me, yes your 300 dollars is important to us,
and in the great realm of things- we ship 50 thousand dollars a month-
so your order is not the top priority you would hope.
Ripping you off for pocket change is not in their methods

Those who order JDM stuff wait 2-3 months for it to arrive from Japan and never complain,,thats just the way it is.

In this case- where other ziners had to wait while their part was being made by same person, thats a bonus to get something made just for you - instead of one off the shelf

I'm not getting pissy or anything. A week went by with no reply to my emails. Something is up so I want my money or a tracking number already. Simple as that.

it usually takes a lil while to ship...but they deff should have responded to your emails...300 dollar order or not...thats not customer service at all..i did once however have the same situation...i ordered a part for my car from somewhere and 3 weeks went by with no tracking...no emails responded...nothing shipped...they then got back to me to tell me they were all on vacation due to the chinese new year..i was pretty pissed...they should have had people filling in at least..keep us updated..i was planning on ordering from them too

Lmao trust me I'm calm. Like I've said, it's already been more then a week and still no response. I'd rather just play it safe and have a claim that assures I get my money back. It's a win win for me. I either get a tracking number by this week, or I get my money back.

yeah seriously chill out bro.. situations like this are why we use paypal. in my opinion you're better off kitless, fiberglass + asphault =

better go stock up on fiberglass resin and bondo if you're planning on lowering the car

i dont get worked up over big packages like that unless it acutally says you'll get your confirmation email and tracking within 48 hours or something.

like some said... its fiberglass.. it may need to be molded... you jumped the gun IMO

but if you dont feel comfortable waiting.. more power to you getting your money back.

Good to hear you've got your money back.

When a seller (whether it's a shop or an individual) doesn't release a tracking number, doesn't return your calls nor emails, 99% chance it's a scam.

That weird after only 10 days later you get your money back that quick. I'm Paypal Vendor an I know (We) have 30day to get the product out before a refund or a dispute can be file for your money back.

But anyway, I'm glad you got your money back an you found better deal locally.

i called and spoke to a rep. he said that if they didnt respond during the 10 day period, i would get my money back. i waited and i got it. i read about the 30 day thing online so i decided to call. instead of going through a longer process, the rep had made it into a claim. im guessing that cut the time.

important thing is that i got the lip kit locally, already left it at the shop and its being installed on tuesday. finally.

Well idk if you will get it or not, but you don't have to worry though that's for sure. I'm a 4 year PayPal member, I know everything about them and I can tell you for sure if you don't get your lip kit open up a dispute on PayPal and within a month or so you'll get your money back.

i got my money back as promised. 10 days is all it took. already got the lip kit locally and having it installed tomorrow

i dont suggest anyone buy from that site anymore. seems to me that the person doesnt check the website anymore if theyre not responding to paypal disputes.
