jipped buying an intake

[sickboarder]

hey guys,

over a month and a half ago i bought an intake online from this guy Ben Jenkins who lives in Texas. He has sold intakes to guys on the forum before. I still haven't recieved it yet! He said it would be 2-3 weeks and its been at least double that! He communicated with me at first, but he hasn't responded to my emails as of recently... i hope i get it soon! i am starting to worry that i got jipped. keep an eye out for ben jenkins... and you might think twice before ordering from him.

PS: of course if he would just contact me and give me a good reason why his order is soo delayed... that would help smooth things over. i want my intake!

btw: his email is
bsjenk@hotmail.com
aim name is

Same topic is going around in the group purchases forum. I too am waiting, paid him on June 20th. Hasnt responded to my last 3 emails. PLUS, hes still selling them on ebay right now.

Did a little digging on ebay, and see he has sold 4 more kits over the last couple of weeks, still taken the orders for them. One guy waited from the end of May to get his a couple of days ago.

just got my tracking # tonite, he said he had problems with the kits being delivered to him, so I guess I will have to wait till in arraives in a few days and see. He was really slow responding to e-mails though.

How long have you BEN waiting ?

I purchased mine July 16. I have not received a tracking # and Ben will not return my emails. He claimed it would take 2-3 weeks to receive the product after it is purchased, its been over that already.

purchased July 2

Got the following email from him today
Hello,

I do apologize about the delay. I had sent out notifications to everyone w/
an Explorer intake kit, it must not have reached you (I will send them out
again, just to be sure). I usually receive a shipment each week of these,
but the last two shipments have been delayed. I have been assured they will
be here next week. So, as soon as they arrive they will be shipped out.
Due to the delay, were are including a free K&N Recharge kit w/ each order.
Thank you for your patience, and I will get you the tracking number as soon
as it ships.

Thanks
Ben

Have to wait and see what happens now.

Purchased June 10. Received same e-mail as above. Still waiting.

 

[coolchris]

my brother (sickboarder) got that exact same email 2 weeks ago too... hes still waiting, and hasent heard from ben since.

 

[94Murph]

Kodiak, anything arrive yet? Did you track the number with UPS ? This is starting to piss me off, the guy just keeps on selling them and cant deliver them.
Marty

 

[Kodiak]

tracking # says it will be here tomarrow, did you ask for a refund I did and then next day he sent a tracking #.

 

[Kodiak]

well its here now to see how well it fits every thing seems to be ok. hopefully i can get a pic up tonite.

 

[94Murph]

I just sent him an email asking for a refund. I tired of waiting on him.
Marty

 

[94Murph]

Still no reply as of today for my refund. Posted negitive feedback on Ebay about him. I am thinking of doing a "buy it now" on every kit he puts put there until he responds. Then I can change my name like he did. The A-hole.

This is why I'm so leary about buying from a private seller online...you don't know who you're dealing with.

 

[94Murph]

Anyone heard from this guy??
Marty

 

[94Murph]

Well, this morning I get this from him,
Hello,

I apologize about not getting back to you sooner this week. I had to leave
town unexpectedly for family reasons on Sunday and have not had any internet
access until tonight when I got back in. I will have these kits ready to go
out in the mail tomorrow, or, if you would like, I can just refund your
money. Let me know asap.

Thanks
Ben

Let the waiting begin !!!
