Sure is. If you looked 2 posts up before writing that though, you would have noticed that I ordered 8 days ago.

Pretty pathetic that you would lie. Post proof if it's true or ride in flames to hell.

Better start checking for that email for the correspondence saying they made an error and are refunding you $18.88. Try the junk email folder.

Already did. And called them. Talked to the overseer of the sales department and he said that I will get to keep it.

The overseer? Believe it when we see it. Make sure to post pics of the pistons with the date and the receipts.

Yes, overseer. . AKA manager/head honcho/supervisor.

I think it's ******* hilarious when you guys automatically assume something is bullshit. It shows ignorance to me.

Not a screenshot. I mean a picture of the actual pistons with the date written on a piece of paper with the shipping receipt. And it doesn't prove ignorance. If someone said they did something that normally should not happen, like a dog reciting the pledge of allegiance, then you SHOULD be naturally skeptical and demand proof or authenticity. If you don't then you're a sucker that's willing to fall for anything and the reason how scam artists are able make their money. Saying that it's ignorance shows ignorance.

If you managed to get over then good for you. Until you prove it then it's just talk.
