Thread: Calling on all of my gpf brothers and sisters....

I am asking everyone who reads this to e-mail mailto:sales@3800performance.com on my behalf ( my name is Christopher Bayus) and ask them to refund my $419. I have been battling with 3800 since August to refund my money after returning a set of lateral arms I purchased through 3800. I have filed a dispute with VISA, only to have it reversed because of a lie from the owner and my bank not contacting me, informing me of his appeal. Due to VISA guidlines, I cannot re-submit my dispute. So, my bank is trying to collect the money for me. But, the reality is there isn't much hope of this working. I would really REALLY appreciate it if you all could put some "social pressure" on him to do the right thing. Thanks for your time and effort.

Chris

a back story might help. What exactly happened in the transaction? was the part faulty?

whats this malito's first name?

It's a long story, but here goes... I mistakingly ordered 2 sets of arms. I realized my mistake the next day and e-mailed 3800 asking them to cancel the order for 1 of the sets. I recieved a phone call from a man (Rick if I recall) the following day regarding the headers I also had ordered. During the conversation, I asked him if he recieved my e-mail concerning the cancellation of the 1 set of arms. He assured me it was no problem. Ten days later, I recieved 2 sets of lateral arms. Then I started going back and forth between BMR ( who shipped them directly from thier shop) and 3800 Performance, asking where I should return the arms to. Each one said to return the arms to the other. So, wanting to get this finished, I returned them to BMR. They acknowledged when the arms arrived, and informed me of when they refunded 3800 Performance. Since then, I have tried to recover my money from 3800 with no success. The last conact I had with him, I told him that I was going to VISA if I didn't recieve word from him. He called me (always a phone call, so there is no record) and explained that he had his secretary send a check out two days prior. But when asked, he could not tell me how much the check was for. It never did arrive. The VISA dispute is a whole other story....

That blows.

that's such ****ty business..terrible

sounds like you should have shipped them back to 3800

Probably, but the result would still be the same. I have no parts and no money.

Thanks again everyone !

Tim,

PROBABLY would have been more professional and helped our cause if you could have done that on a laptop, instead of your phone.

Because, the punctuation is awful...and well it doesn't help the Gran Prix forum look too whoopie.

Just my two cents.

I'll contact Rick. I've talked to him before. See what's up.

Tim I appreciate the effort. Thanks man !

Nick, I am grateful for any help you can give me. Thanks !

Wow...getting alot of feedback on FB too!

emailed them too bud.... hope it helps.. i pretty much fixed and reworded what tim said and added that i would not do any business with them if the horror stories keep coming up about them.

Thank you Joe

So far I have had 30 people (from GPF and FB) respond. I am really grateful (didn't think I would get THAT many!)

3800 just emailed me back asking for ur email address...pm it to me.

This is what they sent me

Andrew,

3800Performance has new owners since Dec 1. We are trying to get in contact with Mr. Bayus to see if I can help resolve his issue with the prior owners.

Do you have a contact email address for him?
