Xplosiv. I think you already learned your biggest lesson...always use a credit card for orders.

That said you mentioned that RD said they shipped USPS (United States Postal Service). If this is true then you may have a case for mail fraud. Mail fraud is extremely serious and the punishments are severe. Being a federal offense a lengthy jail term along with a large fine are very normal. My advice is to contact the USPS office nearest RDmotorsports address and speak with a representative their and explain your situation. Mail Fraud is extremely serious and they will take your complaint very seriously so this won't be a waste of your time.

United States Post Office

You should be able to find a number through here.

Hope this helps.

 

Thank you very much MattH25
I will definately do that tomorrow

I have nothing personal against david, but after 8 months of waiting, I am not expecting them to help at all

Matt, if u dont mind can you explain what mail fraud is in PM?

the first CP number NEVER worked, and the second one shows the same record for the last three months (Item left NC warehouse on oct 11, 2003 etc)

BTW, you should use postal mail orders.

 

pll thanks for the link, I think I will need to talk to david before I take any action. If he still doesnt show sight of helping, then I will do what i have to do.

 

what the fvck is going on here???

erik, this is what i was alluding to in my other post.....

too much of this shit is going on that eventually, with enough horror stories, no one will buy anything from "your" sponsors.....it may take a year to filter down to that point, but then you'll be left with no sponsors....

i also think that you have to work with the members/users of this site to help in the fight against "bad business" - we're you're best resource.....

dude, you HAVE TO take an active interest in these issues....i understand you may not have time, but it's in your "personal" best interest to do so.....

rich, if you've paid by m/o, call the bank where you got the m/o from, ask for proof that it's been cashed (they do a trace) - the trac will also tell where and which bank and to which account it was deposited....this way you can DEFINITELY find the guy....even if he's closed the account, the bank has the account holder info on file....they may not release the info to you (privacy laws), but they'll release the info to the cops or a lawyer.

send a letter to whatever address you have for these people - attach the proof from the bank.....also, take the info and file a claim in small claims court in the governing jurisdiction.

after 8 months, this is the only way you'll get something back....if possible.

or dare i say, hop on a plane and get down there....in your case, it's a not a $200 console cover....this is a lot of money.

i'm not buying nothing from any board sponsors (except ganley), but i have a realtionship with them now.....and even if they screwed me, you can bet i'll be on the next flight down there.

enough is enough.

 

thanks alot Nimesh, I will give you a call if I need more help

appreciate it.

 

I had a long conversation with David from RD today and he was being helpful and understanding. He explained the whole situation to me and it seemed like we had a misunderstanding during our last few email exchanges.

I dont think this is a case of mail fraud, a lot of members have bought from him and received their items without any trouble. I purchased a Mugen header from him before and I received it on time. He said he would send me all the copies of receipts and I dont think he would risk the reputation of his shop for it.

I believe the rims are lost somewhere but USPS doesnt seem to be willing to help. I tried to contact Gary, the manager of the USPS outlet but he was not responding at all. I hope david and i can work out a resolution and I am thankful to him for being responsible.
