Landlubber Mike Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Ugh, sorry Kevin. Thank you for warning the rest of us. Along with them, add Kitlinx to the list. They stiffed me on an order of Taurus engines and despite multiple emails to them, including to the owner Loic himself, everything went unanswered. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case they sent me a partial order and it took months to get the rest of the money refunded. I constantly badgered them until i did. My advice do the same. Put in a complaint with the BBB. Tell them that you will do so. Don't give up and just let them take your money. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 It's unfortunate that companies constantly get away with this. Hope you can get your money back Kevin. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Kev, sorry to read you were a victim and ripped off. The whole deal 'STINKS' I stay lightyears away from any of the vendors where there have been posts about taking the money and then not shipping and zero response to emails. This is the main reason I've stayed with the same few vendors all these years - I know they are legitimate, ship on time and all correspondence is replied to. I always pay with PayPal and if a vendor doesn't accept PP, I walk as there is a reason to my way of thinking. I do remember a while back we were going to have a list of vendors to stay away from, but I think that was dropped for legal reasons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually do PP myself Peter they are great in resolving issues like this but the interest rate sucks right now my credit union is really low.I have to add an extra layer of scrutiny ordering from outside my normal vendors research. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lusitanian Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I had the same issue. I had used a Chase credit card, and had to end up disputing the charge with Chase to get satisfaction. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
