I apologize in advance for making this thread in this forum, so if it needs to be moved to "Classifieds," please move it.

I guess I had a similar experience buying from Matt, as most of his costumers had, but I think I got all of them beat on the wait time. I bought a manifold, down pipe, dump tube, and intercooler ($1989) from Matt in the middle of April, 2005 and was told it would take 4-6 weeks to ship. I called and/or left him a message/PM/email once a month or every other month and he gave me his regular excuses and reassurance that it would ship "next week". That "next week" never came. To kinda sum it up, I still don't have what I ordered from Matt or my money back; and during all this time I learned how to weld by enrolling in a intro to welding along with a couple of TIG courses in a local community college, where I got a certificate for GTAW. I know it's my fault (very stupid of me) for waiting that long in the first place and that I should have demanded my money or filed a claim a long time ago. I contacted him a week ago through a PM (never got a response there) and later a phone call and an email asking him to either ship my order in the next couple of days or refund money. No response so far.

If you are considering buying a manifold, exhaust, down pipe, mounts or whatever, I suggest you enroll in some welding classes, that way you don't have to pay rediculous amounts of money and wait extended periods of time from "very busy fabricators" without knowing what's going on with your order.

I'm only posting a thread because Matt doesn't like to answer PM's, emails, or phone calls and it seems like this method works best (I'd post my PM's but they're pretty much one sided conversations). Apologies for clattering the forum.

Matt, it's been a pleasure doing business with you and all, but at this point I would just like my money back.

Thanks,
Serge

Mr. Vapor

lol im sorry....this is just comical.

this guy was able to go learn how to weld, receive some certificiation in welding and prolly weld his OWN **** in the time it took Matt to send out his stuff...


sad.

This is why paying by credit card is your friend.

If you did, all you have to do now is call you CC company and tell them you bought this stuff from this guy, give them the info you have and tell that you never got the merchandise. They IMMEDIATELY put the money back into your account.

I have had to do this more than once because of scammers!!!!

I think he's still waiting

Schister66

check out RLD-Fab.....i'm getting a dump and downpipe from them. I talked to Ron and he was going to hook me up! I'm sending my manifold to him in order to clear AC w/ the dp, but he told me that he'll crank out the dp and dump in the same day that my package arrives and ship it the same day!!!! Thats the kind of service that more shops should offer. Not to mention, his prices are very reasonable!!

-i can't vouch for his service yet, but he seemed upfront about it and was very personable. Once it gets back to me, i will let you guys know about his customer service and turn-around time!!

Heck I wouldn't want to wait even 2-3 months for a manifold much less 9 or 10. I understand everyones anger, but Matt is not a scammer. Just because his manifolds are taking forever and a day, thats not the same as stealing(unless he has told some of you to F*&% off and that I wouldn't know about). From what I understand(and I dont know every side of every story) he has offered to give refunds to those that have asked. I just went ahead and bought myself a manifold because I didn't want to wait.

I hope you guys dont jump all over me for this.

Dude he always say he offers refunds, but that takes awhile too. My friend was supposed to get a refund from him around christmas time, and he just got the check a few days ago unfucking believable....

I cant wait to see some more of his excuses.

Telling people it's going to take 4 weeks, taking your $1500, not producing a product 11 months later while still gathering interest on your investment = Performing a Scam Seeing as Matt is the person doing this scam, he is the scammer. Quit trying to candy coat it by making him seem to be good person.
