Luckily not a vendor around here.... but still a warning in case you come across him
So I found this guy from CA, and we ordered a helmet and intercom unit for the rally car. Under the conditions of our agreement, he promissed to deliever the goods by 1st of february (thursday) before noon. We needed that el-pronto as we were competing in Perce Neige Maniwaki that weekend and I had to drive straight to Quebec after I get the stuff.... so I was almost sitting outside waiting for UPS truck to show up.
I called him all week to make sure everything is fine, and reached him 1 time he said yes. All other communication was one way with me leaving him numerous voice messages leaving my cell number all the time
Story short - 4pm I get an EMAIL (!) from him saying some BS that Peltor never shipped him the stuff:eek: Needless to say how I felt - a rally without helmet, intercom and I still have to pull an all-nighter drive to Quebec and then do the recce :mad:
After the race, I told him to refund me the money, and he said sure.
It's been two months since the money left my account, and I am writing this right after I just called the bank and made a claim. He has been ignoring me eversince, not picking up, not calling back and feeding with some ridiculous BS when I actually managed to talk to him calling from private ID number.
Special thanks to Stew @ Can-Jam and Alan Oakwell for helping us out and managing to get the helmet and intercom unit the last second!
