We’re not rushing him. He told us it would be done in December. It’s not rushing someone to point out they’re three months late.

If that’s a problem then give me my money back.

Nobody here is rushing him. His MIA is causing an understandable level of fear for some of us. Everybody has extended more than fair amount of understanding and leniency. Our reactions have been very tame compared to what normally would happen.

I haven't gotten a text yet to fulfill a contract. So he's still upright and breathing.

I commend you for your compassion about his family. I think we all agree that it sucks and he got the **** end of the stick but this is gonna make me sound like a ****, the world doesn’t stop for anyone. We have had minimal updates, vague and repetitive updates. A month and a half was the time frame given for the product. We all have been more than enough patient. So now I am requesting that I receive a refund and I’m being told no? I’m not saying he’s a bad guy out to steal from people but look at my point of view. I paid for something in full months ago and I still don’t have a date when it will be finished? Paypal told me I have only a few days left to file a complaint for a refund? I had to message him on several different social media accounts because he isn’t responding to email and his business phone isn’t set up? Don’t confuse your personal feelings of a similar event in your life which gives him a cushion for his business to falter. It is not an excuse. It actually annoys me seeing some of you say I’m not worried about it no big deal I can wait because my build isn’t near completion, it’s like you don’t care to hold people accountable.

This x1000. I feel bad about his personal problems, but we all got our own **** to deal with. I was pretty easygoing about this considering how long it’s been since I gave him my money, but the fact that we are now being told he won’t give the money back changes the tone of the discussion.

I’m still holding out hope homeboy comes through for us. I’d rather have the part than my money back. But I want one or the other. Hell, at this point I’d settle for a picture of a part and a CONCRETE shipping date.

I with you on this. Nothing but repetitive statements is a bit concerning for me.

cv129 04-05-2020 11:28 AM

Exactly, it’s when he started going radio silent, unresponsive, and almost unreachable, that some of us started considering further actions.

Let's not get this all twisted. We all want out what we paid for and we wanted it when it was promised to be delivered. Fact is I have yet to see any custom work delivered on time as advertised and that is without the person or shop having a 911 life event. Also, the recourse necessary for some of us to hold him accountable will probably take longer and cost more than it will for the product if you want chase smalls claims court, given you didn't pay with a credit card or made you last installment with PayPal within the given timeline. Lastly, my statement and sentiment are my own and was stated not to deprive or persuade you or anyone of their own personal perspective. So you might want to slow your roll! We are all in this mess together and you got to do what you got to do!

I would do it based off when your PayPal filing is going to expire

beauz 04-05-2020 07:57 PM

Im lodging a dispute through paypal on friday, you have 180 days since purchase to lodge a dispute. And for me that time is running out fast (purchased october 25 last year) Its sh!?t because i really wanted the parts. It clearly been a rough year for jerimiah, however its just business. We all payed for parts not received. Money should be refunded if no product is supplied. If the parts are being made and are available at a later date (who knows when) than jerimiah will still be able to sell them at the normal price and still come out on top. Its only us that are losing out at the moment. If the parts are available and are shipped before my 180day period i will withdraw the dispute- this is what im hoping.

JARblue 04-05-2020 10:00 PM

I don't know where y'all are getting the 180 day number from. My PayPal dispute options only go back for 90 days worth of transactions. If yours goes to 180 days then great. It really sucks for guys on a time crunch :thumbsdown:

I had actually already filed a dispute with the bank that holds the credit card I used, but I cancelled the dispute when Jeremiah responded in this thread. Thankfully, they won't hold me to a deadline for disputing the two charges and told me I could call back and reinstate a dispute at my discretion in the future if I don't get my product.

The 180 days is what Paypal told me when I spoke with them.

It’s 180 days I spoke with them as well

JARblue 04-06-2020 11:09 AM

That's odd. Because when I go online to file a dispute, I have to select the transaction. My list of transactions only goes back to January when I go through this process. PayPal told me that if the transaction is not listed, I can't dispute it. Thankfully, I have another avenue if it gets to that point.

cv129 04-06-2020 11:21 AM

It’s 180 days. I think you might’ve set your transaction search parameters incorrectly.

I wasn't searching. I started the process online to file a dispute. Once you begin the process, the website will give you a list of transactions that are eligible to dispute - there are no search parameters involved on my end. My dispute list only goes back 90 days. When I spoke to PayPal about this, they said if the transaction does not appear in the list to dispute, then it cannot be disputed.

YMMV apparently...

Spooler 04-06-2020 11:32 AM

Wow, what a crap show. You young men need to learn some patience. No worries, life will teach it to you like it or not. I am not too worried. I am sure not gonna go all crazy acting. It is worth 1200 dollars to me to find out what someone is made of.

Just because we act differently does not mean that’s wrong or crazy. $1200 is worth to you to find out, not for me, there’s nothing wrong with that. You have added motivation due to you having a highly built motor. My need for the pump isn’t nearly as necessary.

It’s got nothing to do with age either. This is pure subjective tolerance.

I did the same process fyi.

It defaults to only list the 90 days transactions. You have change the start date at the top.

Unfortunately, I know way more than I should about paypal due to some dishonest people. Good luck with your endeavor.

Today I learned asking for updates on a three month overdue part is acting crazy. :rolleyes:

We've been plenty patient given the absolute radio silence from Jeremiah. It's one thing to wait when they're showing you progress. It's another to sit around waiting when they've obviously backburnered the project due to personal issues.

Funny they didn't mention anything about that or 180 days when I spoke with support :icon14:

This is probably the dumbest comment so far. You assume that everyone here is an impatient young man then assume it's not okay for anyone to be concerned about a part they have paid for and have had no word from the seller. If you think it's okay for everyone to be left in the dark for months on end about a product past due I really hope you never own a business. There are plenty of guys out here trying new things with the car who need money for R&D if you want to find out what someone is made of. I wanted a part that was advertised.

No worries. I wasn't trying to suggest y'all were wrong. I was just trying to explain where my confusion came from :tiphat:

Trips 04-06-2020 04:51 PM

Guys,

I've reached out to the vendor for a response or updates.

I hope it goes well for everyone envolved.

I'll keep an eye on things and respond accordingly.

PS

If you have nothing positive to add here, Please no need to add fuel to it.

Thanks!

First, just want to apologize big time for the MIA here in the past few weeks. Legitimate excuses, but I still dropped the ball, so to speak. Between moms strokes and doing home health, new job, moving to be closer to mom, and now this virus, things have been a bit overwhelming to say the least.

The gears and pumps are done. During QC, we had some tolerances that were a little out, so didnt want to send subpar product to you guys. As of right now, I have all the gears with me and going through each one, to get them in tolerance. I'm working my full time job, so I'm trying to get them done as soon as possible for you guys. I know my lead times have been horrible and I hate it's taken this long. However, I will deliver ASAP, this is not to string you guys along, just wanted to let you guys know what's going on. Again, I really do apologize for this, as this is not the way I run my business, just a lot happened all at one time, during these past few months.

Thanks for understanding, I'll be online a bit more now that I'm getting settled.

Thanks,
Jeremiah

Where's these updates? Online more? You signed out right after sending this message and havent been back in 2 weeks. We (or some of us) are trying to be patient here. Apologies and "reasons" for delays can only go so far imo. Some of us are being delayed or in my case losing money waiting on these oil pumps shop space isn't free. Please let's get the ball rolling. Thanks

Spooler 04-08-2020 07:28 PM

I am not positive but I think his main job is in the oil field. He is gone a couple of weeks at a time.

Based on his last FB and Instagram posts, I believe that is very probable.

But then at the same time, I would think one can access the any social media via smart phone...unless he’s in the middle of nowhere.

Oh well, who knows anything anymore haha

If he's out in an oil patch. He could be working anywhere from 12 to 16 hr days.

Chuck33079 04-09-2020 07:43 AM

Looks like I missed the deadline to dispute with paypal by one day. Crap.

Total D 04-09-2020 01:02 PM

Good morning guys,

Well, finally have all the gears in tolerance, so this makes things better and can now go forward. Sorry for the communication, just a lot going on with new govt job, having moved, and mom. The gears will go out Monday for REM coating, should take a few days for that, then once back to me, I can install and ship out. Its been a long process, not at all how I like things to run with me or my business, but I will always deliver. This covid stuff definitely has put a small damper on things, and being able to freely get things done with shelter in place, where I live, but I'm doing my best. I know yall are past the patience level and want everything now, I promise they will be in your hands as soon as they come back from coating. I'll let yall know as soon as they leave to come to me, and when each pump goes out. I apologize about everything, but one thing I wont do is take your money and not give the product yall paid for. Just asking yall bear with me this last bit and I'll have yall taken care of.

Jeremiah

Rusty 04-09-2020 02:53 PM

Thank you. :tiphat:

But if you could have popped in at once a week or so to let us know if you're a live or not would have went a long way. Think a lot of us won't be ready to pull our money. A lot of us still have memories of Sam and GTM. Lack of communications can really screw things up beyond anyone's control.

I know man, I definitely dropped the ball on weekly updates. Just hated not having a better post to give yall. I remember the Sam days and the SGP days in the 350z market. Definitely dont want to be linked to any of them.

Monday the gears leave, should have them back by the end of the week. So will be able to start getting the pumps out soon after.

Again I really apologize for the inconvenience, but I'll definitely make things right.

So what you're saying is that these will ship the week of the 20th?

End of that week, beginning of the following at latest, should everything go according to plan. Praying it does, with how everything before has gone.
