Need a little help in Havasu
 

Hey all,

Bought TWO dominator carbs from a guy in Havasu, short story - sent one, never sent the other!!! Paid with paypal back in Jan(1/25) - took a month w/ several phone calls to get one carb(Rec'd 2/24), more phone calls - no answer, no call back, no carb!!

HELP!!!!!

Guss

Get ahold of Paypal and file a claim. If the issue can't be resolved they will refund your money. I love Paypal because your always protected:)

There is going to be a thousand OSOer's there at the end of April. List his name and address and I am SURE someone will go by and say hello...

Thanks, I'll get hold of paypal and start there. If I don't hear anything, I'll post names and addresses.
BTW - This is the first time I have had an issue w/ another OSO'er buying / selling stuff - I have done lots of deals over the years.:hothead:

Hahaha, you've obviously been drinking too much of their Kool-aid! I wouldn't count on getting dog sh!t from PP! I've been shafted twice by PP, never again...

performanceboats.com is a good resource as well, many of those guys live in Havasu.

No luck with Paypal - what a bunch of idiots!!!!!:hothead: I guess I'll have to post names and addresses to get this cleared up!! Worst thing is, I need this carb to complete my engine build!!

Here is the guy's name, address, and phone #
He either owes me half my money back, or 1 dominator carb!!

Cale Carder
1609 Acoma Blvd

Any help will be appreciated!!!!

Who is he here on OSO?

HTM Racing

Is either a fax #? There hasn't been a fax bombing in a long time.

have you tryed this number on his other webbsite,,i thought i read some where about High Torque Marine?

http://www.carderperformanceandmarine.com/

oops just say you posted that number but you could always sigh his guest book telling how wonderful the one carberator is but you paid for two of them..

I think he's part of HTM2, the company that took over HTM. He's got a decent rep on Performanceboats.com. I was just there last weekend...could have helped. Won't be back for a few weekends, but make a post on PB.com - lots of local Havasu people on there.

We're cool - talked to Cale today - he had some family stuff going on, Fed Ex lost the carb, etc. All worked out, thanks to the power of OSO!!!!

Guss

Good to hear you guys got it all worked out. Did you try calling him at the numbers on his webpage? I called both numbers and without leaving a message, he called me back within an hour.

Good News!

The Power of the Pen :food-smiley-009:

Sounds good, you wanna think that you can trust everyone, but sometimes you get a bad apple

Really?? I don't know what your doing wrong but I have filed 3 claims with them and always got my money refunded

X2

Wtf
 

Not so good news - still don't have carb, or money!!!! Second engine is a week away from the dyno!!!! No returned phone calls, or emails!!! Getting pizzed!! Any help would be appreciated!!!

Guss,,, i've seen ppl/companies over and over blame FedEx to cover there own mistakes,,, so you need to ask them for a tracking number, so you can call fedex and see if they did ship the pkg,, where it is, what happend? etc.... otherwise, he just told u that too get you off of his case.....

Still no carb,, this isn't a fedex issue ...pkgs just don't disappear,, they can get re routed but they dont disappear.anything picked up by fedex has several scans placed on it before it ever gets to the customer.... In my opinion, he's using that as a tactic too get you off his back.... i could be wrong.... who knows....

GET THE FEDEX TRACKING NUMBER,, if it exists, call him and ask for it... If he says he doesn't have one,, then he's a fraud..
companies always keep track of their shipments...... If he gives you a tracking number,, great,, call fedex, 1800 4633339 and give it too them and explain your concern......

Your Carb is going to ship on Monday
 

Hi Gus,
I am in Havasu for the week end so I stopped by the shop that you listed to see what was up with your carb. When I walked in they immediately knew what I was talking about and they appologized for taking so long. Said it took a while to get the carb and have it rebuilt. I don't know them and haven't had any dealings with them. I asked to see the carb and they showed it to me, see pictures below. They offered to give it to me, but I said you wanted it shipped. They assured me it would go out on Monday.
