And I have sent you a message regarding a delay on your handle last week. If you want a refund, I'll be happy to to do so.

Plan is to spray the handles tomorrow evening, assembly on Thursday, drop off at the postal office Friday. I've been out of town this past weekend with family so I couldn't get anything done.

FYI, with all the complaints, everything is just regarding the time frame of getting the handles. Complaints are what? 3-5 people out of 40-50 handles I've done since I've started. NONE of them have been about any major quality issue with the work itself.

I've had a couple of people contact me regarding damaging the handles themselves, whether during the install or months after. I either charge a small fee of $25 to redo the handles, and on a few of them I didn't charge them anything at all except to cover shipping cost.

Go to your own body shop or go through me, it doesn't matter to me as this is just a side hobby that is nothing related to my real job. Just ask your body shop what kind of paint or clear coat they use, most of them are using bottom tier versions of PPG and Dupont. Clear coat? Probably nothing to go home about.

As of now, I only have three outstanding orders. Never has anybody been "cheated" out of their handles as it seems with all these complaints. People that had submitted claims received their money back without any issues.

If you're not longer interested in what I am offering but just still have a grudge on what happened in the past, feel free to PM everybody you feel fit to know your story, but please stop polluting this thread.

If you have real concerns or questions, PM me. You'll get a reply back typically within 24 hours, max of 48 hours. I have a family, I have a job, I have a life. I don't check this thread every single hour or day.

Well feel free to refund my payment my friend.
So in the next 24-48 hrs I would except my refund then..
That would be nice.
Since that's ur reply time frame.

Whatever is going on can continue I guess.

So I'll be on the lookout for my PayPal payment Back ASAP.

Just if its not too much all you gotta do
Is go on PayPal and hit refund this payment.

Thank you and good luck.

If I don't have to do that myself again too.

Your refund will come once I receive the handles back. Check the tracking number as there is movement.

I just think communication is a must
And sometimes overlooked.
Just my opinion... Ur a busy guy
And I get that too. Trust me.

If they are as good as said- I'll be returning
Mine for the core refund.

It's just frustrating when ur waiting and waiting...
From a buyers prospective I hope you could
At least understand where this puts one
In this this transaction.

I'm glad to see movement on these finally.

I'll be out of ur hair soon enough.
Thanks Anthony.

I'll install and return the oem for the core.
ASAP.

Again... Thank you.

To all those complaining about the long wait times and the lack of communication:
You've entrusted your hard earned cash to a rando on the internet. You didn't buy anything through a legitimate business, so why do you expect enterprise level support? This guy is doing this in his spare time as a hobby. If he wanted to treat this like a business, he'd be charging us all a hell of a lot more money than he does. You went this route because you've seen the amazing work he's done for others on this forum and you didn't want to pay as much as your local shop was going to charge you. Cut the guy some slack.

Pay attention to your paypal account and if you haven't seen any action on his part, get a full refund. You lose nothing, just ask any else who's ever done this before. After that you can feel free to bash the guy in a post but you don't have to be constantly on his nuts every day because he's not responding fast enough in your opinion.

Hell I didn't except to see my handles for about a month and they're already moving out after just one week from when I requested them.

P.S. you can argue with my opinion on this subject as much as you want, I will not respond because I've said all that I need to.

Yeah I moved them around when I was spraying the clear as the matte clear I have to do separately so it doesn't get into the other handles that are gloss finish.

Thanks for the supportive words!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So latest update on pending orders:
Just finished buffing/polishing the handles. It's 1AM right now, I work at 6AM, so assembly/boxing will start once I get home from work ~6PM. Keep a look out for tracking numbers!
