Give the guy a break? Get the *** out of here. He should have not told him that they were shipped already. He should get knocked the *** out IMO.

Maybe a little harsh, but my point is he should have just said, "hey I am little backed up and it is going to take xxx amount of time instead of they have been shipped." Then two weeks later say that he will reship them.

Dude, I would try to resolve this issue privately before going public with this. You don't want to give a guy a bad name before you have the facts.

This has already happened on this board before. ^^

well hopefully something did just happen, and it will be resolved, but i oredered gtr tails and front with smoked sidemarkers, he gave it to me for 87. thats not the kinda money i wanna wait and wait to see results from. he also wasnt so prompt with his emails, who knows maybe hes been getting a lot of orders and has some things going on. i dont want anyone to think im trying to ruin the guys reputationwith this. wheres this andrew fella anyway.

he seems like a helpful guy. but why should he be given a break? he represents himself as a business and he makes profit from his sales.

I sure would not be happy if i ordered something from a business and they could not keep the word. but on the other hand **** happens sometimes and as long as they are willing and helpful that's what would earn my business again.

Sorry but I have to disagrre with you like the other guys here. I understand he's busy, and yes I also have a pending order w/ him, and he has been very punctual with his responses, but....don't make excuses for him! You say this is a part/time job for him, but like said earlier, he is running this like a full time business, so he needs to tend to it like so. Bottom line, once you accept someones money as a vendor or in a private sale, show the purchaser the professional courtesey to get the item shipped out in a timely manner.

damnit Gman - I'd appreciate it if you'd give the FGC sponsors a bit of slack before jumping all over them. Did you call and speak with Andrew? Do you know the whole story? Then maybe show him a little respect and quit jumping to conclusions.

Andrew has donated his products FOR FREE to our club on multiple occasions. He is a big time G35 enthusiast and he is a very stand up guy. If he says he mailed out a set of overlays, then I believe he mailed them out. The vinyl doesn't cost him much, nor does shipping. It's not like he sends the items out insured for over the UPS standard $100.

Haven't you ever had mail lost by the Post Office? I have twice. Once was a $3xxx payment to American Express, the other was a letter from my BEST FRIEND who moved from Holland to the Canary Islands to ??? That's right I lost touch with him due to the Post Offices screw ups! This kind of BS does happen and it's not the fault of the person sending out the items.

I would be willing to bet you your TT to my (aluminum pedals ) that Andrew did in fact send out a second set of overlays. The unfortunate thing is that once the guy gets the second set we'll probably never hear about how the first set showed up a few days later.

The thing that sucks is that often times it takes 5 business days for an item to get sent through the US Postal service (or UPS). The timeline here is PERFECT for Andrew doing the right thing. He kept in touch with the guy, he told the guy he mailed out the items and when enough time passed for there to obviously be a problem, he mailed out a second set of overlays. Gee, what more can a business man do in this situation? You guys bashing Andrew are all either really weak or you have NEVER ran a business before.

The only reason I can think of why you don't have them yet is that it may have been lost in the mail or you gave him the wrong adress as other have mentionned before me. BTW, $87 for simple stickers to cover the lights??? What a waste of money IMO. As neffster said, the material cost close to nothing, this guy must be making a sh*t load of profit.
