I have received a tracking number, and it does actually work and shows the parts in transit. A agree with myGN86 that the biggest complaint we all have is that there was inaccurate information presented.
Statements from Zack:
July 31st - Zack- After a few minor manufacturing delays the kits are here and ready to ship! Keep an eye out for them and please provide feedback on your initial impressions and long-term driving impressions ---edit-kg---this statement should never have been made.
Aug 7 - Zack - Guys, I spoke a LITTLE too soon - I have all the parts in stock ready to ship except the idler arms - they were scheduled to arrive the day I made that post. They are being held up in customs in a container from Taiwan. All paperwork is in order and we are scratching our heads over here. These things happen from time to time with US Customs with the heightened security. --edit-kg--------now why after a statement of "ready to ship" does it take a week to reveal this?
Aug 29 - Zack - You gentlemen should have received your parts, or at least most of you - any feedback? ----edit-kg--this is the biggest complaint of all that I have - he's actually acting like you should have received them - later communication makes it clear that he hasn't shipped one single solitary one!! What the h-e double toothpicks can excuse this?
Aug 30 - All via UPS - I will dig up the #s. ----edit-kg -----same complaint - he hasn't shipped a damn thing, says he's going to get the numbers.
Sept 8 - GofstBuick talks to Zack via cell - Zack tells him that he has all the parts and has shipped 6 of 15 orders. My tracking number I received would seem to indicate that these are the 6 designated for us Canadian boys. So what happened to the earlier statement everything had been shipped? Incidentally, this was a couple days after I talked to Zack and he assured me he'd already shipped to me, and I'd have a shipping number the next day.
Sept 9 - GofstBuick gets a message that an invalid tracking number has been issued.
Suffice to say, I'm leaving my Paypal investigation open until we have the parts in hand and confirm that all are there. The last thing I want to do is find that of our 6 kits, half the parts are missing, or there's an empty box, or any other monkey business. Zack, if you really did ship all as promised now, I'll cancel the Paypal investigation as soon as we confirm everything. You have no grounds for complaint, as you've brought this all on yourself.
