Buyer beware Mr. Parks
First off mod’s I’m only putting this here because this is where I think it should be, please move if needed.
I really didn’t want to do this but I feel as though everyone should know. I'm sure Mr. Parks has done sucessful business here in the past, but this is my personal experiance with dealing with him. Recently I purchased a used set of ferrea valvetrain and cams from Mr. Parks here in the for sale section. Everything checked out so I made the purchase via paypal. He said the parts would be shipped ups priority. He swore up and down that Id be able to get to my dyno appt on the 19th of November. He promised I'd have the parts by nov.17th, and that Id be able to make the BOTI Fontana race on Nov 21st. Also the parts were to be coming from California. This was Nov.8th!!!
So during the next 2 weeks He will not respond to ANY of my phone calls, and only responded to 2 or 3 of my text messages. He made a thousand promises and guarantee's of how the parts would be there and that he did ship them. Then I find out that Mr.Parks doesn’t even have the parts! And that the parts are coming from Pennsylvania! and on top of that the parts had not even shipped out yet! There is still no tracking number or confirmation at this time. This was Nov.22nd
Now that I found out that I was being middle manned I was upset obviously. After dealing with even more miscommunication and lack of professionalism, he sends me a forwarded message from some guy in Pennsylvania saying that parts had shipped out. Again no truth to that message either. Still no tracking number or any shipping confirmation. This was Nov.29th
So now today after saying I wanted to have my money refunded by paypal he finally comes up with a tracking number. Only after I wanted my money refunded! The tracking number is for usps GROUND from Pennsylvania! Not from California and not by ups like he said. The tracking number says that the package was picked up YESTERDAY and wont be here until Dec.7th!
Long story short Mr.Parks is a very unprofessional seller who lacks communication. Its been a month now since I’ve paid for the parts only to have him give me excuse after excuse. I’m just putting this information out there for anyone looking to buy parts from Jason Parks aka Mr.Parks.
