That's the problem right there. The seller hasn't delivered anything until he has his wheels/tires.

 

I do not have the wheels and he has my money . It is that simple.

 

And by the way he said a check would be fine. But that's not the issue --- he is in possession of $430 of my money anf I have nothing . It's beyond me how anyone can say it's ok to take someones money and send nothing back that they paid for. There's a word for that. If Phil can respond here why can't he communicate with me ?? Here is another request for you Phil to contact me. I would welcome that.

 

Geezuz. What a sorry @ss reply. Sounds to me like you don't give a crap. "or my friend took them"???? what kind of stupid response is that? Why don't you ask your friend? But even then, why even make a comment like that? I'm not saying that Flyviper is 100% correct here, but your remark is so pathetic, I am more inclined to believe hiim than you.

 

Either way, as a seller Phil has a responsibility to the customer to either get the customer his money back or a set of wheels/tires.

 

YES I dont give a crap... i said in the other post that i trust my friend and his shop is very reputable so i was saying i dont think he took them and most likely lost @ DHL. And you think after all this time it didnt occur to me to ask him.. duh. Its pretty much remedied so please mind your own business.

 

Sad that common courtesy or decency is hard to find now a days. Something so simple as making some inquiries and you can't even do that. It's no wonder that so many people get taken advantage of seeing that the world is filled with people like you. I don't know the OP and frankly I think he was quite foolish for purchasing something from a stranger with a check. However you KNOW that there is a problem and that he is frustrated yet you come out here openly admitting that you "don't give a crap" says allot about the kind of person you are.

All I have to say is that Karma is real and this will surely come back and bite you in the ___.

 

Phil had an excellent rep on the New Scion site and I was in a time crunch so yes I took a chance purely on his site rep. He says that this will be resolved by next Thursday so at this point I will trust that it will be. I very much appreciate all the concerned responses from members on this board and I hope that by next Thursday all of this becomes history.

 

Looks like you didn't come through with the wheels or refunding the money, I read the last thread from Flyviper on New Scion xB and you strung him along until Monday still not providing him a tracking number and no delivery from DHL, WOW!! Great service, you and your FRIENDS and SUPPORTERS should be proud of you!

 

flyviper, just tell your bank that someone used your personnel check without authorization and that PHIL WONG?? forged your signiture. Then he should go to JAIL

 

Well its Tuesday and no communication, no wheels, no refund ( as promised ). So much for site reputations. Does anyone here live in Foster City, CA where Phil Wong lives ?

 

You need to call the Foster City police dept. This would fall under internet and/or mail fraud I'm sure. You've been a hell of a lot more patient than I would have been. 430 might be "gas money" for ScionScene/Phil Wong/CarbonPhiber, but it's alot of money for my family.

Good luck Fly.

 

Yeah its been 43 days since the check CLEARED and I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

I just read every post in this thread and the whole situation is beyond ridiculous.

1. Whether or not Phil "usually" doesn't accept checks is so besides the point since he apparently had no problem accepting one this time or taking this guys money once he cashed it.

2. It's your responsibility as the seller of anything to ensure that the buyer/customer receives the product that you sold. So, if in fact Phil is on the up and up then he should be taking care of this and not, at least in the beginning, saying that flyviper needed to figure it out himself. It doesn't matter if the problem is DHL or the friend/middleman he had take care of the shipping. You are the seller. You fix the problem period. Otherwise, the customer is refunded. That's good business (I've had my own business for several years).

3. Since Phil seems to be so aggravated that it's gotten to this point, then maybe the next time he'll choose to handle his responsibility a little better and not get frustrated with other people for a situation that clearly escalated from his own non-action/response (How can anyone claim no fault when they won't even answer someone's calls or return them?)


You stay may have some recourse through your bank if you explain the situation to them. Although, he would still get to keep the money also which is not exactly okay.

 

The topic on NSxB has the most current info - wheels should be delivered tomorrow, according to UPS.

Flyviper finally got the wheels, too bad they were DAMAGED..... The below response was posted on NewScionxB...

Wheels arrived. Each wheel in its own box and absolutely no packing material to protect them. None. They're all scratched, one is gouged. Two of the boxes had broken wide open. With no inside packing material to keep the sides of the boxes from collapsing the boxes were just crushed from the normal wear and tear of shipping.
