GB: MB Motoring Weapons

[blues14kouki]

PM sent about group buy

[s14_rob]

any updates??????????

[Nagaremono]

Well I heard that my wheels were supposed to ship out last monday, but now I hear that they are supposed to hit shores in a week. Alec, I gave you my number like you asked, but I still haven't heard back from you.

[fonze311]

Alec remember me? You still owe me $50. I won't burn you this time because these people on here didn't bother to listen to me. but anyway, whenever you get the chance...gimme mah money! I won't be as harsh this time, but i did stalk you at the Candlewood.

['90RPS13]

Fonze, PM me if you have a issue. I am pretty sure you got all your PS steering lines and not sure what the problem is now.

Nagro, Call me tomorrow around noonish. I am expecting one other call from Babo too. I will PM you my number. Thanks!


BTW, I am now setup with a Business Account through Paypal. Google is just proving to be too much of a problem.

I will be still accepting either or, so which ever is more convienent.

Thanks to all and we are inside of a week!

[drifts135]

please respond to my pm! Do I need to send another?

[JohnC]

Hi,

Pm'd you a couple of days ago.
please contact me.

John

[Nagaremono]

thanks alec. please pm me your number.

[babowc]

heh..
hard to reach this fella.
alec,
you give me a call when you see this message.

i left a couple messages in your voicemail.
and pm shot.

[s14_rob]

['90RPS13]

Mike, caleld you today.

Rob, Yes.

JohnC: Yours went out to Alison Transport today!!!

Thanks To All!

[Farzam]

Alec, I just gotta say that you're dealing with my nightmare and it seems like you're doing an adequate job.

Keep it up.

And I hope this group buy keeps going for another couple months for my sake.

[JohnC]

Never had a doubt, and thank you!

['90RPS13]

Farzie, you just let me know when your ready and I will help ya out. Did my roomate give you my cell?

John, sorry for the super late turn around. GF said couple more days it would turn into a coffee table. haha.

[Farzam]

Yeah, your roommate hooked it up.

I'll call you soon.

I'm seriously thinking about saying eff it and buying a motor...honestly it's pointless to have the motor checked out if in the end it could be useless...but it should still work.

I'm gonna PM you about basically where i'm at with everything.

[derek_s13]

posted multiple times.

pm'd multiple times.

you said to pm for your phone number.

did that multiple times.

someone else gave me your number.

called it multiple times for days.


i was told my wheels shipped out the june 2.

then told me wheels shipped june 14.

then told my wheels will hit shores in a week june 26.


i pm'd you multiple times WHILE you were online.

no explanation whatsoever has ever been in any of my responses. i'd appreciate an explanation as soon as fucking possible.

[JohnC]

JohnC: Yours went out to Alison Transport today!!!

Thanks To All!

Hi,

Was it picked up by them or did you ship it to them? Any papers you can PM me a copy of?
Just trying to get some info as they do not have any info about picking it up. Maybe it was not updated in their system.
I just do not want to end up with another lost rim. Not your fault of course!!!

John

['90RPS13]

Hey Jon, I have a copy of the shipping label on my desk from UPS is you would like a copy. Alison Transport should be recieving ASAP. It went out a few days ago to them.

Derek, Email me at [email protected] with your telephone you can be reached at and I will get ahold of you this evening. Thankss!

[babowc]

oen week.

[Howard92884]

['90RPS13]

Believe me, I cant either. My staggered set is waiting along with your guys!!!

[derek_s13]

Derek, Email me at [email protected] with your telephone you can be reached at and I will get ahold of you this evening. Thankss!

[LB.Motoring]

Relax yo,

hes working on it,

hes doing You a favor.

if its taking time, it takes time. Its usually not Alec's fault.

[derek_s13]

you relax.


and also shut up.



and since you haven't been paying attention to my posts, just shut the fuck up.

[babowc]

lol both of you relax.
im relaxed, so dont tell me to relax.

:)

[s14_rob]

i cant wait my set is being sent to powdercoating as soon as i get them

[Howard92884]

I'm also relaxed, just excited that its almost time to get my wheels.

['90RPS13]

All this excitement. Derek, check your email!

BTW, I didnt lie to you bud. I have no problem refunding you the cash and you can pay retail elsewhere. Ask any of these guys who got there rims, I have no pull in when they get here. I am 2nd to last person to touch these. With that being said! I Love Zilvia.

[overb0ost]

how long does this whole process take from once i pay?

it would be shipped to 14305

if the rim makes a difference, i'd be interested in 17x9 +17 bronze (still $475 shipped?)

also, i read your sig and you can get hotwheels?

if so, id also be interested in 17x9 +0 silver (the cheapest one)

let me know ETA on both these sets and how long it would take to get into my hands. and price on the hotwheels. thanks!

[LB.Motoring]

Just refund him his money,

let the douche go somewhere else.

if hes gonna whine about it, go have him try it through DT himself.

[bullitt4110]

The refund takes just as long, I have been waiting almost a month for my refund.

[s14_rob]

alec when will mine ship this week???

[babowc]

it should start shipping this week.
as promised by alec.

[ladiesman8527]

any new updates??

[nightkid86]

Are you still taking orders? I may be interested in some competitions.

[s14_rob]

any updates??? i cant wait lol

[Nagaremono]

Hey Alec, Still waiting to hear from ya bud. I PM'd you my number multiple times, you told me my wheels were in the first shipment and were supposed to ship out two weeks ago. please give me a call and explain to me what is going on.

[bullitt4110]

23 days and counting for a refund....:mad: :confused:

[JohnC]

Just to let you all know that my order came through. 8 wheels were ordered,
one was lost and he ordered another one for me and It is on its way (confirmed via shipping company).
I say do not be worried. Alec will make good on it all.

[Nagaremono]

I have never been worried, I would just like some closure to this. The story has changed so many times that people just want to know what is going on right now with the wheels they ordered. I realize that a lot of this is out of Alec's control, but what he can control is getting back to people and managing the group buy from a customer service point of view. He says that the wheels will be here this week some time, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Duster524]

Thanks to all and we are inside of a week!

8 days later, still no word????

[derek_s13]

and those that gave me a metric ton of negative rep were still wondering what i was talking about.


it's not impatience that upset me.


it was lack of information. and now others see where i stand.




fuck all who neg-repped me.

[bullitt4110]

Dont even bother trying to call him, he doesnt pick up and his message box is full.

[Nagaremono]

Dont even bother trying to call him, he doesnt pick up and his message box is full.

Wow...just wow.

[babowc]

Alec just called me, actually.

Just letting ya know.
He was in the movies.

[s14_rob]

god i want my wheels i dont want to wait anymore

[bullitt4110]

Alec just called me, actually.

Just letting ya know.
He was in the movies.
Thats nice for you! But that doesnt help me at all. I am getting really tired of waiting for something that should have been done within at the most a week of when I requested my refund. This has just been really poor business.

['90RPS13]

Yo what up guys. Talked to Babo (Mike) tonight. Tomorrow I find out what has landed so far. And then get a date on when they hit distrubutions and when shit starts shipping. Bullet, I will see what I can do to speed up the orders.

Nagro, Babo and Derek are ABSOLUTELY the firsts to go out. I will make sure of that. I will keep you updated with what I find out tomorrow. Thanks Guys!

[s14_rob]

is my set going to be shipping after Nagro, Babo and Derek ? how many are in front of me

[babowc]

I think it goes by who paid first?
I dunno, I paid after a few peeps, so I guess I'm next in line?
Anyways.. Alec is good with his updates, you just gotta bug him about it :P

[Howard92884]

is my set going to be shipping after Nagro, Babo and Derek ? how many are in front of me

I would also like to know this seeing as im coming home in 18 days for 2 weeks and I would like to have them then. LMK

Thanks,
Chris

[NecroS14]

[Duster524]

[dftsilvia]

[s13_jesse]

Because they have been waiting since f***ing march!!!!!.... you are getting to rediculous.

[dftsilvia]

i correct myself i checked my google checkout i paid on april 12th, and its bullshit for u too man. we were told the longest it was guna b was 90 days and its way past 90 days for mad ppl

[babowc]

you're not the only angry one here.
we're all anticipating these wheels.

Although the listed's wheels will go out first, they'll all go out nearly the same time, given that we have enough wheels shipped to the states.

[bullitt4110]

Snice you seem to have all of the answers for why is it taking him a month to get me a refund. When I payed in the begining of June he told me that mine whould be to my house is less than 3 weeks :jerkit:

[babowc]

lol.
im just trying to calm everyone down.

no need to get smart, buddy.

[endless8979]

just wondering which rims are you guys waiting for. the weapons or the competitions??? I would like to know i dont want to wait 2-3 months for the ones i'm going to order.. I'm trying to get the (F.)17x9 +17 MB Competitions Gunmetal $530 Shipped.

['90RPS13]

Endless, Comps are in stock.


Everyone else. Had a few 16's and 17's land today. Not sure what what width sizes or offsets. I will know when they make it to the warehouses. Hopefully the +17mm's :naughty:

[ladiesman8527]

[NecroS14]

[bullitt4110]

[babowc]

[Duster524]

this is really pathetic, there hasnt been one truthfull update. I really doubt these were "being" shipped back in march when we all ordered them. Four months later and there still inbetween? Were going on our second week since the last update on 7/02 that claimed where inside a week. Really wtf is going on?

[s14_rob]

[bullitt4110]

.....................:aw:

[ladiesman8527]

[Howard92884]

[bullitt4110]

I also PMed you about my order, please let me know as soon as possible, because I might change it or get a refund if I can't get them in time.
Good luck, I have been waiting for a refund for a month now.

[s14_rob]

he must be busy

[Nagaremono]

did they get shipped to the warehouses yet? what is the deal?

[babowc]

hmp..
slightly annoyed.

tried callign ya couple times today.

[Howard92884]

Good luck, I have been waiting for a refund for a month now.

A month? Thats rediculous. I need an update like ASAP, I will be home in 2 weeks and I need my wheels by then.

[bullitt4110]

You're telling me! I asked for the refund on June 17th.

[DriftSpecial180]

sorry, if this has been covered before, but i tried to scan this huge thread. Is there any front coilover clearance issues with a 17x9 +17?

[bullitt4110]

Just talked to him on IM and he said he is really sick with largenitis and going to surgery tomorrow....

[Duster524]

i hope i get my shit before christmas, and why has there still not been any updates???:bs:

[Nagaremono]

Oh man, it has been one thing after another with this guy...
Well I thought that some of you may like to know that I called a place called "2 day parts" and they claim that they have had the 17x9 +17's weapons in stock for over a month. They currently have 19 in stock according to the guy I spoke with. I had him double check and triple check just to make sure, but he said they did have them in stock for sure.

[s14_rob]

damn i cant wait anyone i just talked to my powder coater

[DrtyRat]

sorry, if this has been covered before, but i tried to scan this huge thread. Is there any front coilover clearance issues with a 17x9 +17?
when i test fitted mine (no tires) they cleared the megan's on my s13.

[DriftSpecial180]

With enough clearance to fit a non-stretched tire?

Yeah I talked to them just before I thought about buying here but thought it was seeming sketchy. Only problem is I wanted a 17/18 stagger and they want $720 shipped.

[babowc]

hm..
sounds similar to a previous situation..

Im hoping alec will come through....

[Farzam]

I'm not going to say anything and act like I know where your wheels are. I'm not taking sides either.

But there is something you need to understand.There is always a risk with buying fancy stuff that people don't have in stock...it's called backorder, delays, "parts in transit", etc.

SOMETIMES, whether the business likes you or not, they can't get your stuff immediately.

There are 20 more dickholes other than the shop you buy from that determine whether or not your stuff will get to your purchasing location/your home in time, and 18 of those guys are too busy playing beer pong while the other 2 have sex on/with your products.

Alec is one of the nicest people on the site. The only person I know who doesn't care how many times I call to ask stupid tech questions like how many bolts are holding whatever together, and he has an answer to everything. EVERYTHING. AND he says to call back if I need anything else...which I do do like 20 times, and he'll still say it.

If you all would civilly and patiently contact him with manners (like you would in front of your moms), i'm sure there would be a better level of communication between both parties. Naturally, people are less willing to deal with things that are hostile....like pissed off people who want fancy wheels. Just realize patience is a virtue and practice the Golden Rule and perhaps the situation would be at a much better level.

Have a good one.

Did you order any wheels from him? Most of these people have been waiting for months, which I understand is probably not his fault. But we have been told it was going to be about ten days on the first and that some wheels came in (5 days ago) and still no update. He is basically running a buisness and needs to let his customers know what is going on, he is holding on to hundreds of dollars of peoples money and there is no communication. I would call him if I could but I am in Iraq, and I will be home in like 13 days which is why I need my wheels. I have been extremely patient, but I need my wheels and he needs to let us know what is going on.

[babowc]

Farzam
looks like you're in very close to Alec.
Mind giving us a heads up on this situation?

I mean, Alec doesnt need to have his phone turned off,
Laryngitis isnt nothing more than a mere Strep Throat.

Cmon now, you dont require speaking to come type a few words to have people reassured in him.

I'd figure that'd be the least he could do.. maybe take 5 mins off and type up a sentence or something.

Anyways, Laryngitis isnt anything to be hospitalized for, so he should be a-ok.

Farzam, since you keep contact with Alec, can you please deliver this message to him? Seems like almost noone can get in contact with him.

[s14_rob]

could someone pm me his phone number i want to see if i could get a hold of him

[s14_rob]

tried calling him no answer and his message box is full .....

[Sir]

[X 350GT X]

WTF, hes talking on AIM but doesn't have net access???

Technically yes he has a net access, but he might be on his cell phone.

Can you talk to him and see whose wheels are going to be shipped out first?

[Duster524]

Can you talk to him and see whose wheels are going to be shipped out first?

Dude i doubt the wheels are going to be shipped out

[Nagaremono]

seriously, if he can't talk to his suppliers, then there is no way for them to know where to ship the wheels, etc. I remember I when I had my tonsils out, I couldn't talk for 2 days, but I was 5, so ya....

[s14_rob]

s14Rob: so mine ships in two days?
ninetysilvia: Yep yours, babowc, derek-s13, nagramono's. Thats all i can fill at the moment.

[babowc]

and when did this conversation take place?

[s14_rob]

today at like 1pm

[unwed_transient]

interested in package B 17x9 +17 in bronze.

cash in hand.

in for updates.

[Duster524]

s14Rob: so mine ships in two days?
ninetysilvia: Yep yours, babowc, derek-s13, nagramono's. Thats all i can fill at the moment.

ok yeah wtf ive been waiting since march!??:wtf:

[NecroS14]

^^in the same boat buddie, not even one update^^:confused:

[s14_rob]

just to clue you guys in everyones been waiting since march!

[Howard92884]

Edit: Can you talk to him and ask him when he will be back on zilvia?

[somethingfornothing]

wasn't he a big scammer on the other nissan thread?

nico or whatever it's called?

[Duster524]

[QUOTE=s14_rob;1438070]one month....[/QUOTE

dude you cant speak us for have been waiting since march, you sent payment end of may. The most redicious thing is that all this information is now going through a middleman and not threw a reliable source.

[babowc]

ive been waiting since march..
so..
where does that put me?

getting quite frustrated now.

[Nagaremono]

I paid in March too.

[Sir]

Technically yes he has a net access, but he might be on his cell phone.
yeah, I guess I didn't think of that. I just use my phone for calls and taking dirty pictures. LOL

wasn't he a big scammer on the other nissan thread?

nico or whatever it's called?
Yep. They don't like him much either. I really hope you guys get your wheels/$$$. But after 4months..............

[SimpleS14]

Dang...I wonder how you guys will act if he was on his death bed.


I do understand where you guys are coming from, as I endure a LONG wait for something I paid and no response. However, I did get a resolution through this with patience and my bank on my side hahaha


But seriously, I really hope this guy comes through before years end (yes I know its quite awhile). He should have just halted the group buy after six buyers, as it can get quite hectic, especially if your not a reputable shop.

The reason I am stressing is because I will be home within 8 days (R&R from Iraq), I have all my parts just waiting for me to build my S13 and my wheels are the only thing I need. Alec please PM me once you see this, I've tried to get a hold of you on AIM but I guess its only on mobile. I checked the discount tire direct website and it says the 17x9 +17 bronze weapons are good on stock.

[Wei240]

yeah, i paid in march as well,

but i couldn't wait, so i bought the +27 and got in within 2 days and slap some spacers on, good enough for me...

[Howard92884]

yeah, i paid in march as well,

but i couldn't wait, so i bought the +27 and got in within 2 days and slap some spacers on, good enough for me...
Yeah I was thinking about doing that but I can't get a hold of him, are you using 10mm spacers?

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

yeah, i paid in march as well,

that's what i did, too. 7mm spacer in the front. woo hoo.

[Howard92884]

Alec, if you can send me the +27 I will take them. Please let me know ASAP I need my wheels shipped out like now.

[derek_s13]

i just want my wheels.






despised icon would rock a dickload of negative rep.

[babowc]

this is taking quite a long ass time....

[victorw210]

is this gb still open

[SimpleSexy180]

well when he gets back..

i might order some...

[drftmark]

I paid June 5th.... for 17x9 +17 also. That would be cool if I got wheels before August.

[slos14]

whats up with this gb is it still going on ?

[babowc]

O k.

where the fuck are my wheels?
Alec needs to update, seriously.

[Duster524]

O k.

where the fuck are my wheels?
Alec needs to update, seriously.

Yea seriously, we were promised are dubs no later than july 4th, its now the 22nd, almost august 4 a whole month later. So far i feel my summer has gone to waste not being able to drive!

[JDM SiL80]

Pm'ed about ordering a set. please get back to me asap! thanks.

[Howard92884]

Does anyone have his phone number, if so can you call him and ask him when he is going to get back with us?

[NecroS14]

four months and waiting........ are at least some of us getting them before aug?

[babowc]

He doesnt even pick up his phone.
Nor his AIM.

This is getting beyond rediculous now..

[Howard92884]

Does anyone know how to file a claim through google checkout?

[Nagaremono]

I looked into it, but all google check out lets you do is email the seller about a refund. unless someone else has had better luck....

[bullitt4110]

Does anyone know how to file a claim through google checkout?
I didnt see a way to do it on google. I did the email thing and it didnt work. I sure hope he makes this right.

[victorw210]

so it wouldnt be a good idea to buy from him

[chubbza5]

I'm really interested in the competitions, but um, yeah wtf get back to us

[derek_s13]

I'm really interested in the competitions, but um, yeah wtf get back to us

you have one post. it's this one. this post. it's you're first one.

us?

[babowc]

Wow..
How does Zilvia go about getting verification for people who start up GBs?

[Howard92884]

Wow 12 days and no update, this is really worrying me. Has anyone talked to him off the forums lately?

[Nagaremono]

wow this is ridiculous.....

[Howard92884]

Alec I need a refund ASAP please get on that right away. Thank you.

[endless8979]

after reading most of the post i'm holding off on buying these wheels, until he answers these people..

[drftmark]

uh....:ugh: wheels? where art thou?

[babowc]

who knows alec out side of the boards?
chime in please.
I'd love to go visit him personally.

I live two states down, I think i can manage the drive.

[JDM SiL80]

He is problably just out of town.

[babowc]

No reason to not return calls or pick up the phone, though.

[Fast1One]

Man I really wanted a set of these...hope he gets it all worked out...

[Duster524]

so im guessing the 3 people that were going to be "shipped" before the weekend still hasn't recieved them? Here goes another week down. ETA:never

[drftmark]

i wasnt worried at all before because people were receiving their wheels...
but now that someone said he is an ex-scammer and suddenly disappears make me raise an eyebrow... i hope he is ok from his surgery and can get on top of this thread with an update.

[somethingfornothing]

i dont buy it that he had surgery, you guys are getting scammed. just like this guy did to the guys on nico

[babowc]

I havent received it yet.....
Im fearing the worst ATM,

Im sure someone knows Alec out side of these boards..
come forth please!

[babowc]

BTW, doesnt the Mods of this subforum want to respond to my PM?
Thatguy?

[drftsub]

I have tried to request a refund via google as well ( I doubt it will be fulfilled though ) . From as far as I can tell we have a very solid case to stand on to get the authorities involved, we should have a valid address to send them to from our payment request. Of course if we are going to do that I think it will take more than just one or two of us, does anyone live near him?

How did you request a refund from google? I looked and couldn't find a place to file a claim. Let us know.

Thanks

[mrcm]

well, that sucks. he told me he would be good in 1-2 days after surgery and its been a week already. hmmm :/

[babowc]

Well,
I know for one thing..
He's deleting voicemails, so he's not completely un-reachable.

He's just choosing not to be reached.

Someone HAS to know where this guy stays.
If so, speak up, do the right thing.

BTW, how did you request refund through googlecheckout?

[S14TEVE]

fuhh. hahaaaaa he cant be reached by you guys but he can send me a fuckin invoice? lol . soooo sketch.

[drftsub]

Well,
I know for one thing..
He's deleting voicemails, so he's not completely un-reachable.

He's just choosing not to be reached.

Thats just BS, I know I paid in the early stages of this, as well as you and a bunch of others. I can understand shipping delays and whatnot, and what it takes to get stuff over here from japan ( I have imported a few containers myself ) but this is just unreasonable, at the very least we should be kept in contact.

BTW, how did you request refund through googlecheckout?

There was a cancel order option on there, although all it did was email him I believe. I am going to contact google and see if there is anything else we can do, has anyone emailed them yet?

Alec, if you are reading this, you need to get in contact with us on this, I really think it will be better for everyone to step up and take care of it.

[Sir]

I can understand shipping delays and whatnot, and what it takes to get stuff over here from japan
but they're MB weapons, shit isn't coming from Japan, its coming from DisountTireDirect.

[babowc]

Yep, let us know how it goes with googlecheckout.

I'll be getting in contact with them myself as well.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

I will back getting the authorites involved. I just want my money!

[drftmark]

if it he hasnt responded before july 31 I am going to cancel order

[Howard92884]

fuhh. hahaaaaa he cant be reached by you guys but he can send me a fuckin invoice? lol . soooo sketch.

WTF, this is getting more suspect everyday, ALEC YOU NEED TO GET YOUR ASS ON HERE AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF. PEOPLE WANT THEIR MONEY OR WHEELS.

[drftsub]

but they're MB weapons, shit isn't coming from Japan, its coming from DisountTireDirect.

They are a-tech erasers, comming from japan, rebadged as MB
http://www.marukanet.co.jp/a-tech/eraser.html

[Duster524]

someone please pm me his phone number

[RJF]

Suggest that everyone contact your Credit Card companies and request refund.

'90RPS13 (Alec) has been banned from the Marketplace section. He hasn't responded to my PM's either regarding the compliants I have received.

I'm going to leave this thread open for now, so you can all exchange valid information on getting refunds, etc..., but it will be closed if it turns into a "bashing" thread.

Also, myself and the Moderators do not have any personal relationships with this or any other vendors/sellers. Since Zilvia is a community, people know each other and often socialize, but WE normally do not have people's addresses or phone numbers and CANNOT give them out for legal reasons in case we did.

Thank you.

[homegaragespl]

phew, good thing i didnt buy from him yet....was about to.

[drftsub]

The address listed on the google checkout deal is

Drift Concepts
7623 Thorndike Dr.
Greensboro NC 27410
UNITED STATES

Please say someone lives near there and can see if thats a home or a buisness, and if it is a buisness we may have some more action we can take.

I am reasearching who would be the best authorities to contact. Those of you who said you speak with him often etc could help us out greatly here, I hope someone is willing.

Has anyone contacted the vendor he was buying the wheels from? did he pre-pay? if so that may be a way we can handle this.

[babowc]

Nagareomono,
if you want to release those information..
let us know...
via pm or something, lmk

[Nagaremono]

well I tried calling my credit card company, and they said they cannot pursue any charges older than 60 days. sucks for me. Also let me verify the info I have as good before I release it. if it's good I'll make it rain, and you guys can do whatever you want with it.

[babowc]

Wachovia is the same deal.

Cannot pursue older tha 60 days.

what a fucking shame.

From my research that address isnt even a bussiness or home, but a hotel!

[420sx]

sooo how many people didnt recieve their wheels?

[s14_rob]

i didnt i talking to my credit card co. right now

[Howard92884]

Well I'm one of them, I haven't been waiting since March but I also think I'm in the same boat as everyone else, past 60 days. I can't believe this shit $500 down the drain. PLEASE PM ME OR POST HIS CONTACT INFO ANYONE.

[Duster524]

same boat, i need his contact info asap please!

[Slidin240Wayz]

Thorndike Drive does not exist, but Throndike Road does, and that is the:

I wish you the best fellas.

[NecroS14]

same here. ordered in march, no updates, no info, no wheels

[ladiesman8527]

i havent received my wheels. i was told at the beginning that 18X9 +15 gunmetal weapons were in stock and ready to ship out. now DTD shows 18's "on order" at all warehouses. this is fucking ridiculous. how do u request a refund on google checkout?

[Howard92884]

From my research that address isnt even a bussiness or home, but a hotel!

Well your right it is a hotel, Candlewood Suites the first one on the list. Here it is.

http://greensboro.hotelguide.net/hl1gr.htm

Edit: Sorry slidin240wayz didn't see your post.

[Duster524]

does anybody go on nico, im sure we can find someone there who has trouble with this punk

[drftmark]

what I want to know is about the people who DID receive their wheels??? How is that possible if his address is a hotel. Were they in on the scam also?

I just got back from my bank and filed a dispute and they will be investigating it. Hopefully I can get my money back. Its a shame he uses GB as fraud. Despicable
person.

*EDIT*
was going through his posts and found this... it might be SOME sort of help locating him.

http://www.zilvia.net/f/showpost.php?p=1454570&postcount=5

[ladiesman8527]

well i just talked to my bank and its been too long for me to file a claim. only thing i can do is file a police report through the better business bureau.

[derek_s13]

been on since march.

receiving nothing but lies.

got a dickload of negative rep for being the first one to be upset with his lies.

paid by money order.

live several hundred miles away.



anyone in a similar situation?

thatguy? why won't you speak up?

what can i do?

[ladiesman8527]

can someone please pm his phone #. thanks.

[djkowai]

ordered mine 2 months ago, thats really shitty if hes trying to fuck over that many people here. I'll probably go to the bank tomorrow, i might be on the edge of that 60 day rule.
i'd really like to find someone here that personally knows him to possibly shed some light on this situation.

[drftmark]

found this link about his name and etc
http://www.carolinanissans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9121&mode=threaded&pid=100558

he posted this JULY THE 5th on carolinanissans.com

Well after my week ban and seeing this, I just want to apologize to the whole Carolina Nissans Crew. I in no way meant to bring anyone from this group into the mistakes of my past. I have indeed cleaned it up and have flown straight since. The whole explaination can be found on Nico. It was typed 3-4 months ago and is there. Its not the SPAMMED up thread but one with a mere 3-4 respones. I have no intending of ever losing my name again. I have worked very hard to attempt to get it back. I am not looking to get into a flaming or fighting war.

My reputation on Zilvia from the past 6 months proves my honesty. I have been dealing on there without any problems at all. Also, if you notice in ALL my posts, parts are welcome to be picked up. I made sure that was in my posts to try and talk to some people and gain there trust back. I even offered to meet them or drop them off. I understand that I have created a bad reputation, but I am just trying to become a honest person. I now have a business and believe me, your name means everything. So, with all this being said,

I, Alec Bradford, am once again sorry to bring this to CN.com.

Thank you to all the people on my behalf. I hopefully look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with CN.com and its members.

I am one of the ones who received my wheels, and i can promise you that I am not, nor would I ever be affiliated with any scam. I am a Christian man, with Christian morals. I'm a family man, and I make an honest living. If I felt, for one second, that I was part of some one else's scam I would blow it open sky high. I would never, intentionally, be a part of a scam.
I can't speak for Alec, and why he has suddenly stopped responding to everyone. I truly feel bad for you guys. If you want my honest opinion, i don't think he's gonna scam you guys, but you never know. I hope,as I'm sure you do, that he shows back up and proves the naysayers wrong. I have my invoice some where around, that came with my shipment. If that will help, PM me and I'll scan it for you to see, via PM.
Just out of curiosity,has any one called DTD to see if the wheels have arrived. Maybe they really are still being sent. However, I realize that it doesn't excuse him not communicating with you guys.
Best of luck,
Joe

[fromxtor]

Please don't bring NICO and Carolinanissans (of which I am a well known member) in on this. In other words don't sign up there(CN) asking about Alec's whereabouts, we don't know either. Sucks some of you got your wheels and some didn't, I would have been in on the GB also if weapons came in 17x9.5. :(

[s14_rob]

drtyrat could u scan you invoice for me thanks

[DrtyRat]

drtyrat could u scan you invoice for me thanks
i can't do as of right now, my internet is acting up (i'm on my blackberry right now) but i'm gonna mess w/it in a little while. if i can get it to work, i'll scan the page and PM you.

[s14_rob]

thank you very much

[X 350GT X]

I read this thread a lot because I also ordered. I ordered a total of 12 wheels (17x9 +17 MB Weapon Bronze). So far, I've only received 4 out of the 12 wheels. I don't know and have never met Alec. If you guys pm me, I'll be happy to provide a copy of my invoice to show that I'm not affiliated with him. I still think that Alec will come through with this GB, but I do agree with everyone that he atleast give us a response. I posted a pic of the wheels that I received a while back on this thread.

[babowc]

dozens havent recieved their wheels.

[babowc]

Drtyrat, can you please do the same for me?

lmk.. Thanks.

[DrtyRat]

Drtyrat, can you please do the same for me?

lmk.. Thanks.
yep.....lmk if anyone else needs it.

[bullitt4110]

DrtyRat can you please PM it to me aswell. I guess I am luckier than most on here as I got in contact with him about a week ago and he gave me a partial refund but then after that nothing.

I didnt mean to accuse you, I was just saying it could have been a possibility.
Anyway, I hope he does pull through and somehow get back on but I dont see that happening right now since he is banned and I have already got my bank involved trying to get a refund.

[babowc]

BTW, why cant Zilvia.net release his information to us?

WHAT LEGAL ISSUES?
Only legal issues he has to be worried about is himself.

Please state a reasonable answer as to why you cannot release his information to us.

And to "ThatGuy", what are you exactly doing on this subforum as a mod?
You haven't answered any of the questions I've sent you in PM.


*Also, what exactly is the GroupBuy qualifying process? You dont verify any information beforehand to see if the seller is legit or not?*

[Howard92884]

Drtyrat please send to me also in PM or e-mail, my e-mail adress is [email protected]

Thanks

[drftsub]

Drtyrat please send to me also if you could.
thank you.

[ladiesman8527]

yep.....lmk if anyone else needs it.

can u pm it to me or email it. my email is [email protected] thanks.

btw does anyone have his phone #

[bullitt4110]

I have "Drift Concepts" number which is (336) 908-1340, but nobody ever answers and the voicemail is always full.

[babowc]

Thats his personal phone.
Im sure it'll be disconnected soon.

[Nagaremono]

has anyone tried the 336-543-5367 number? It came over with my google confirmation order. I'll try calling right now and let you know what I get.

First of all, we do NOT collect any personal information (other than an email address) from any members and cannot give out that information unless authorized by the member or through a search warrant, which happened recently on another matter.

Regarding our Moderators; as I stated previously, just because someone may live "near" or "know" a member/seller doesn't mean that they know what is happening on a GroupBuy or have "secret" information, so please don't harass the Mods.

As for the GroupBuy process; we provide the GroupBuy Section as a service to the community. We DO NOT perform background checks on sellers, but will take action against the seller if we receive complaints.

[Nagaremono]

ok, all I get when I call that is a recording that says "we're sorry all circuits are busy now, please try your call again later."

[ladiesman8527]

how is Alec suppose to respond to this thread now if he's banned from this section??

[RJF]

Nagaremono - I have deleted your posts with address information. Unless you know specifically what the contact information is, do not post random people's information, just because they have the same name.

[ladiesman8527]

well guys i called him at the "drift concepts" phone # and he just sent me a text back saying:

"Cant talk atm at the dr. Office. Be out in a hr. Rims will go out tomorrow. Tracking number too."

hopefully this is good news.

[s14_rob]

i texted him too same thing i hope to god this is true i want my rims

[ladiesman8527]

he texted me again saying he would be back home tonight and he'd be back on zilvia tonight as well.

[babowc]

lol
i hope that really is true.

nagaremono.. send it to me via pm if you want.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

there. there's an invoice. i have plenty of pics of the wheels on my car too.

[Duster524]

i still want to hear from the man himself, none of this texting bullshit.

[drftsub]

I really hope that the case and he is going to come make all this right

[fonze311]

Hi guys. i've been looking after this GB for a while now and i can only say that you guys are pretty much screwed. I've dealt with this guy before and i posted a long explanation with what happened. I had all his up to date info. ZILVIA kicked me off the site because i posted that on his GB post and it took three months to get back after a lot of emails to ZILVIA. I told them in all seriousness to watch this guy because he's known for this. Google his name if you want and you'll find him 'Alec Douglas Bradford'. He got me for something small, P/S lines on ebay. Anyway let it be a lesson to NOT send a check of $400 to a stranger across the country because you trust him on a forum website. He's a broke ass ripping people off to pay for his f-ups cuz even his parents are on probation. The address he gave for the supposed Drift wheel shop or something, doesn't exist instead it's actually the Candlewood Suites where he stays. I filed a police report in his county. They know about him and if all of you do it, then maybe you might get somewhere. This will be the last time i try to save people from this dirtbag cuz you guys don't seem to listen( BABOWC knows this first hand).

[fonze311]

Oh and good luck because he will not fix this. If anyone sees him in person, slap him for me cuz he owes me $50.

[babowc]

I thought Jamie Allison and Alec Bradford are two different people?
Only reason why I went through with this GB..

Seems like he had me fooled.

Hopefully not...

[fonze311]

Wow do you own a delorean, because all that shit happend in the past.
That joke was amazing. I bet you live in NC.

[babowc]

deleted
000000000000000

[babowc]

I'm doing what I can, I sent him a text yesterday afternoon, his response was:

Yeah man, I had tonsilitis and trying to get over sinusitis. I am staying at my parents' place and don't have internet here. I told babwc and s14_rob and they were suppose to type that for me

then a few minutes later:

I will be back at my place hopefully tomorrow. I have been pumping antibiotics like no other. So tomorrow I can clear up all this shit and get shit shipped

... I guess we'll see.

Also I really wish you guys would keep the investigative shit to PM, all the info posted above could be found by anyone who knows how to use a search engine/ search button.

You sent him a TXT yesterday, the 26th, and We havent gotten our tracking #s yet.
nor an update.

If you can get in touch with this guy, you must be quite close.
Wonder why he isn't responding to MY text messages?

I told babwc and s14_rob and they were suppose to type that for me

I was never contacted via anything after the last update Alec did on this thread.
Wonder if he just got caught up in his lies?

[CrimsonRockett]

Found this on another forum:


To be completly honest I think it goes deeper than just Alec, but I won't get into that in public. Don't you think that it's big coincidence that he knew how long to wait before he could stop making contact with people about their wheels, long enough that their credit card companies would not investigate the transaction anymore. But then again since he has been doing this for so long he prolly knows exactly how to get away with it now.

Just to let you know babowc I got 6 MB Weapons 17x9 +17 in bronze from America's Tire Co on 6/2/2007, they were here within 2 weeks of ordering them. Also I paid less than what he was offering them for too. I am not bragging or trying to rub it in I am just saying that it's not back order issue as you can plainly tell by going to their site and seeing the in stock indicator they have for the warehouses.

Another thing is if you pay attention to the pics that users posted of their wheels you will notice something. The boxes that Alec's wheels came in were all boxes of different wheel makers. My boxes did not look like that, they were plain white. Why would MB wheels come in Enkei boxes? See a pattern here?


Honestly, I hope he pulls through for everybody.

I'm only out $20 bucks.

I'm glad I didn't send out the remainder amount.

[babowc]

^^ Ya think?


By "close" what do you mean, if you mean I live 3 hours from him then yes I am close. Otherwise no, we are not beer/fishing buddies.

well,
you misunderstood my definition of "close"

alec obviously has no problems talking to you,
but has problems talking to the rest of us who paid $450 each.

wonder why?


if you can get in contact with him, why dotn you tell HIM to come and talk for himself, instead of you being his bitch and doing the talking for him?

that only leads us to believe you and him are in on the same thing.

and.
did you get the update on the wheels? seems like you missed my initial point.

You sent him a TXT yesterday, the 26th, and We havent gotten our tracking #s yet.
nor an update.

[babowc]

how is Alec suppose to respond to this thread now if he's banned from this section??

this man speaks the truth.

Why did you ban him from marketplace again?
It does US, getting scammed, NO GOOD.

Release the ban, we're still hoping this guy would come back and update, highly unlikely, but there is no reason to ban him from the marketplace section.

And, wtf is this? if you're going to ban him, ban him completely on his IP address as well as his aliases, not just in the marketplace section.

Lets make some wiser decisions here.

[bullitt4110]

He answered my texts early in the day (friday 7/27) saying that he would give me a refund later in the day and then when it came time he didnt answer the phone or my text messages. He seems to just say what you want to hear and then once you have a little faith in him he lets you down again. I dont understand why people feal the need to rip others off. Get a better job if you need money that bad.

[endless8979]

OK, closing thread, this is getting out of hand.

this man speaks the truth.

Why did you ban him from marketplace again?
It does US, getting scammed, NO GOOD.

Release the ban, we're still hoping this guy would come back and update, highly unlikely, but there is no reason to ban him from the marketplace section.

And, wtf is this? if you're going to ban him, ban him completely on his IP address as well as his aliases, not just in the marketplace section.

Lets make some wiser decisions here.

To clarify something, we banned him from the marketplace for a variety of reasons.

1. To keep him from continuing/initiating any scams (if indeed that's what's occurring). This protects all other users on the forums.

2. While out of the marketplace, he still has the capacity to contact the moderation staff, and explain his position on the matter and the actions he's taking to resolve it.

3. Zilvia is simply acting as a medium for your exchange to take place. We don't take any responsibility for sellers/buyers' actions, but rather do what we can to be rid of troublesome users for the greater good of the community.

In summation, Zilvia is not your only recourse in contacting this individual, and the actions we've taken to protect the forum at large do not hinder your ability to resolve your conflict.
