Default Anyone had problems buying cams from Brian Crower via ProRev?

I placed an order on their site on 20th December for stage 2 NA cams, and having a lot of problems.

Denis at ProRev was very keen to get my order and insisted thy were in stock, even though they showed out of stock on the site.

I was not getting any confirmation that they had been sent, and after 2 weeks of pestering and threatening refunds, I finally got a tracking number from USPS. Ths just said that a shipping note had been created not that the cams had been sent. After further Pestering I am getting nowhere apart from the runaround.

I'm over 5 weeks down the line, no cams, no proof of cams even being sent and $700 out of pocket. I'm now seeking a claim via my card provider, as I'm just being messed around.

Anyone else had issues?

There was a group buy on these and they were the last of the cams in stock for Brian Crower. If you go on there website it will say when they are supposed to run the next batch of these cams. If you do get your money back, Real Street might be doing another group buy on these. We got these for a substantial amount cheaper.

Mine are on back order from Real Street right now, so as far as I know everyone is waiting on BC to make some more.

I have spoken with several suppliers, 3 of those sponsors on S2KI. The general consensus looks like they will be available late Feb to mid March.

It's pretty clear to me I've been told they are in stock when they arent. Not happy at all.

I don't think they are coming.

Pro Rev say they are shipped. I know they are not.

They won't refund me. This is stalling tactics as the cams don't exist yet.

My credit card company are persuining it now.

IMO do not buy from pro rev, who are the seller on Brian Crower website.

I've never had an issue in all my years buying car parts, until dealing with these sharks.

If they are an official BC distributor and listed on the BC website, I'd give BC a call and give em a heads up.

Hopefully your CC company will take care of the problem swiftly. You should change the title of thread to "problems buying cams from Rev Pro" and ask the mods to move this thread to seller feedback.
